Description

We would love your attendance at our in-person Kingian Nonviolence training June 26- June 30, 2023! The training will be held in HISTORIC Selma, AL and facilitated by Master Trainer and Activist, Dr. Bernard LaFayette Jr. and team. Come learn the strategies and steps that were (and continue to be) used to affect change and build social movements. Please review the below flyer. You can participate in the 2.5-day CORE (Conflict Reconciliation) Training or participate in the entire 5 days, which will certify you as a Level 1 Trainer, so you can then train others. The two-day Kingian Nonviolence Conflict Reconciliation (2.5-day CORE) training is an introduction to the philosophy of Nonviolence through the lens of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Teaching the Six Principles and Steps of Kingian Nonviolence, as well as basic ideas, strategies, and tools of conflict reconciliation, the model sees conflict as inevitable and inherently neutral. The training teaches us how to identify and work through conflict in a positive way that addresses the root causes and encourages us to creatively and strategically develop a win-win outcome leading to reconciliation. The training includes reading of Dr. King’s seminal writings, viewing and discussing films documenting different campaigns within the Civil Rights Movement, mini-lectures, interactive small group activities, and role-playing. The principles are also taught through music and relationship-building activities. The training is helpful in a variety of settings to address individual, group, institutional and systemic conflicts. We explore different types and levels of conflict and effective de-escalation techniques; the application of Dr. King’s philosophies in four successful campaigns during the Civil Rights Movement; and the principles (the will) and the steps (the skill) of Kingian Nonviolence. We then put knowledge into action to begin to practice the first step of Kingian Nonviolence in order to transform our communities. Advanced training is available for certification to become a curriculum trainer in your own community.
