THE GANDHI EXPERIMENT

How do we take Gandhi’s
messages further, as lessons that could bring about change in and around us?
Perhaps a healthy dose of non-violent, solution-focused activities stemming
from Gandhian principles would be a more productive approach both at school and
at home, especially for the citizens of tomorrow.How do we teach our
youngsters non-violence is a conscious choice; that we need to rise against
injustices; that ‘hope in action’ and ‘moving from apathy to action’ are of
supreme importance; and that ‘satyagraha’ is the very foundation we stand
on?This book literally equips teachers and parents with tools and strategies
for peace-building. For teachers, it takes these into the rigorous academic
classroom; for parents, it is a guide to how they can build better
relationships with their children whilst helping them step forward into a
better world. The Gandhi Experiment teaches teenagers global citizenship,
conflict resolution, anger management, forgiveness and how to mould their
thoughts for a more positive future.Using thirty-plus years of experience,
Margaret Hepworth combines concepts, techniques and practices, creating
activities that engage, provide equity and enable teenagers to make powerful
and positive choices for a better tomorrow.
