3. Mahatma Gandhi Center for Global Nonviolence

The Mahatma Gandhi Center for Global Nonviolence was established in 2005. It explores the significance for the contemporary world of the great task Mahatma Gandhi set for himself and for all of us as an experiment and an actual experience. "My mission," he said, "is to convert . . . the world to non-violence for regulating mutual relations, whether political, economic, social, or religious." Through education, international dialogues, and youth-focused programs, the Center studies and supports appropriate ways to put into practice the expression of mutual respect among human beings and for the planet's natural environment. The Center is a non-partisan and non-sectarian enterprise that welcomes both secular and faith-based participants in its programs. Its goal is to serve as a synergistic center for conflict resolution and peace-building that works for the mutual betterment of all inhabitants of our planet.
