- About
Nonviolence as Educational Praxis, offers an international perspective on integrating nonviolence into educational practices. Featuring contributions from scholars in the USA, Canada, South Africa, Brazil, England, and elsewhere, this volume emphasizes the urgency of practicing nonviolence in the international educational landscape.
It centers nonviolence in the educational field within and beyond schools in terms of nonviolent communication, autobiography, storytelling, psychoanalytical implications, relational dynamics and ecological perspectives, and much more. This book illustrates how educators can create spaces that encourage compassion, interconnection, and growth.
Nonviolence as Educational Praxis serves as an important resource for educators and practitioners dedicated to enacting meaningful change in their classrooms and communities, reinforcing the urgent need for a worldwide commitment to nonviolence in education in today’s chaotic and violent world.
