Come join this mini-workshop series, organized in collaboration with Queer Camp, but open to any members of the public. Queer Camp is a community that is committed to fostering an inclusive, diverse, and fun summer camp experience for adults by challenging societal norms, empowering authentic self-expression, and building a thriving community through skill-shares, dialogue, shared meals, and cooperative play.

In this mini workshop, we will explore concepts such as:

• The definitions of violence and nonviolence
• An analysis of the different types and levels of conflict, and how they escalate and deescalate
• The history of the Civil Rights Movement and some of Dr. King’s philosophies
• The principles (the will) Kingian Nonviolence, how to view and transform conflict
• The steps (the skill) of Kingian Nonviolence, how to engage with conflict and organize a campaign
• Plus, members of Queer Camp will bring in games, ice breakers and more lively activities!

The Sunday workshop will include teachings on the core theory of nonviolence, and we will use the follow-up evening sessions for deeper practice and engagement through role plays, small group activities, etc.

Whether you are an organizer working for social change, a teacher trying to change the culture of your school or simply an individual trying to deal with the conflicts in your personal life, each person will walk away from our workshops with new skills and a new perspective.
