Gandhi Center logo

The Gandhi Center logo includes a spiral form. The spiral is one of the most basic shapes found in nature and one of the most ancient symbols of growth, change, and transformation. For the Gandhi Center it evokes the processes that lead outward, onward, and upward from conflict toward creativity and harmony.

Conferences

 

 

The conferences of the Gandhi Center serve as a catalyst for change and action. The Center organizes and hosts the Global Nonviolence International Conference and the Global Nonviolence Student Conference in alternate years.

 

Global Nonviolence International Conference

The international conferences serve as a way to bring together policymakers, academics, business people, and civil society activists to discuss social problems and develop suggestions for change. The Gandhi Center hosted its inaugural international conference, "Religion: Conflict and Peace," in 2005.

Global Nonviolence Student Conference

The conference is planned and directed by students of James Madison University. We encourage students from universities and colleges across the United States and abroad to participate. We encourage presentations of nonviolence and peace in all forms and from all disciplines and perspectives. The Gandhi Center hosted its inaugural student conference, "Dialogues on Nonviolence and Peace," in 2006.
