At the Strategic Nonviolence Academy, we are guided by a core principle: the foundation of powerful movements is community. That simple truth is the foundation of our work together.
Our programs are built as immersive, cohort-based experiences, grounded in the belief that building community power is a craft—one that is honed through dedicated practice within a supportive community.
You will engage directly with peers and movement veterans from around the world, practicing the very skills you’re here to master. This is more than a series of classes; it’s a living, movement-building ecosystem where strategies are tested, insights are shared, and a collective vision for change is forged in real-time. Together, we cultivate the supportive and disciplined environment required to build strong, effective movements.
The core curriculum experience
Our comprehensive core curriculum is designed to equip you with a deep understanding of strategic nonviolent action. This foundational program is perfect for individuals committed to making a difference through effective nonviolent movements.
The Academy employs a participatory and empowering pedagogical approach, drawing inspiration from Myles Horton's "Circle of Learners" and Paulo Freire's "Critical Pedagogy." This framework fosters a democratic learning environment where learners and facilitators share power through open dialogue.
Within the Strategic Nonviolence Academy, learning communities are crucial for collective learning. These dynamic "contact zones" foster intellectual and emotional engagement, enabling practitioners to critically reflect on experiences and connect theory with action for liberation.
