WORLD WITHOUT WARS AND VIOLENCE

is a social movement rooted in New Humanism whose objective is the creation of a worldwide nonviolent consciousness.


This new consciousness will be the necessary step towards a world free of violence, not only in its cruellest expression of wars and physical violence, but also free from economic, racial, religious, sexual, psychological and moral violence.

Hiroshima Day in Toronto

WwW participated in the Hiroshima Day Coalition's annual commemoration of the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki on Aug. 6th and 9th, 1945. This year's theme was "Retire the Bomb!" as it is the 65th anniversary of the bombings. We helped participants to make the Peace Lanterns that were floated on the pool at Nathan Philips Square after dark.

 


 

 

 

July 10 - KW Nonviolence Festival 'Day in the Park'.

On Victoria Park Island, we held the 6th annual Nonviolence Festival – Day in the Park, part of World Without Wars. Over 1,000 folks took part including musicians, speakers, more than 30 community group and vendor tables, and the public. We had games and crafts for kids and offered workshops on non-violence, meditation, yoga, tai chi and reconciliation. The weather was perfect and the positive spirit of the day was palpable.
