2 octombrie, Ziua Internațională a Nonviolenței 2026: De ce nonviolența nu înseamnă pasivitate

International Day of Non-Violence is observed on October 2, 2026, promoting peace and understanding. Established by the UN in 2007, it coincides with Gandhi's birthday. The UN emphasizes that non-violence is not passivity but a proactive approach to conflict resolution. Education plays a crucial role in spreading this message, fostering skills for peaceful conflict resolution. The day encourages activities that promote dialogue and respect, while also addressing the dangers of hate speech. The 'Knotted Gun' sculpture symbolizes the non-violence movement, representing a commitment to peace.
