Event Description

Interested in learning more about how to change the world?

With events like "Occupy Wall St" popping up all over the globe what can we expect from such movements and what role does Non-Violent activism have in shaping a sustainable future?

To answer these questions The Toronto Chapter of the Zeitgeist Movement is proud to present "Confronting Global Crises: A Non-Violent Perspective". This conference will outline some of the most effective 'weapons' of a non-violent movement such as boycotts, strikes and symbols as well as answer questions such as "When is violence justified? What about Hitler or Stalin?"
