BEYOND WAR IS A LEARNING COMMUNITY

In one way or another, everyone is a participant and everyone is learning. The method of choice is inquiry with integrity via exploring differing view points, penetrating depths of meaning, revealing implications, opening to new possibilities, and initiating creative actions – all in the interest of reaching greater understanding that will best serve people and planet. Stated more succinctly: Don’t pose enemies, pose questions!

Learning flows from assimilated experience and study. For study in groups, the format that fits is conversation/dialogue, as opposed to lecture, because it encourages critical thinking and active learning. And it facilitates the sharing of life experience, knowledge, intuition, and talent already present in every individual.

Also helpful are multimedia resources that encourage additional investigation and learning opportunities towards the goal of effective activism.
