The Six Principles and Six Steps of Kingian Nonviolence Workshop with NVI

Six principles and six steps provide a framework for Dr. King’s philosophy and practice of nonviolence. In his first book, “Stride Toward Freedom” he described these principles as a way of life and a frame of mind from which you can live and work. They are the core of what it means to believe in and be nonviolent. This framework is a powerful, love-centered standard of values and can serve as a decision-making guide for those who choose to adopt them.
The six steps for nonviolent social change are drawn from Dr. Kings nonviolent campaigns and teachings that emphasize love in action. The steps together provide a process for problem solving and direct action that is informed and guided by the six principles. These steps are practical and strategic and can bring reason and form to any discovery process and work protocol.
During this 3-hour workshop, participants will:
- Learn the six principles and six steps.
- Practice explaining and giving examples for each.
- Explore and challenge their relevance in today’s world.
Imagine ways to practically apply them in their personal and professional life.
- Consider how the implications of them would affect organizational policy and culture.
