Pace e Bene Challenge
The Season For Nonviolence Challenge 2024
The Season For Nonviolence is a special time of action and reflection between January 30 to April 4, solemnly marking the assassinations of Mohandas Gandhi and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. During these 64 days of the Season For Nonviolence, we are invited to intentionally redouble our efforts toward nonviolence in our lives and our world. Learn more about the history and vision of the Season For Nonviolence here.
This year Pace e Bene invites you to take the Season For Nonviolence Challenge! Once a week between now and April 4, Pace e Bene will ask you to take up a doable “nonviolence challenge.”
Week 1 (Jan 30-Feb 5): Share a nonviolence hero on your social media, or in your newsletter, or with friends. What nonviolence hero will you uplift?
Week 2 (Feb 6-12): Watch a nonviolence movie. Tell us what you watched and you could win a prize.
Week 3 (Feb 13-19): Invite a friend to take a course to learn more about nonviolence. You can recommend one of our courses or one from another organization. What course did you recommend?
Week 4 (Feb 20-26): Ask a school to raise a peace or nonviolence flag every day that no violence or bullying occurs. What school will you reach out to? (This action is also recommended as part of the national campaign for the Season For Nonviolence.)
Week 5 (Feb 27-March 6): Like our Facebook/Twitter/Instagram page and share a post. We know social media is a powerful tool for sharing knowledge and information. Let’s use it to spread nonviolence!
Send us the link to the post that you shared.
Week 6 (March 7-12): Post a Nonviolence Zone sticker on the door of your office or room (find it here, at bottom of page). Where will you post your sticker? (Bonus points for sending us a photo of it!)
Week 7 (March 13-19): Celebrate local nonviolent history. Tell us about a strike, boycott, or noteworthy protest that happened in your town. Bonus points for sharing about it on social media, in newsletters, or at an in-person meeting or event near you.
Week 8 (March 20-27): Subscribe (it’s free) to our Youtube Channel. Tell us what # subscriber you are and you could win this week’s prize. While you’re there, check out a video and share it with a friend.
Week 9 (March 28-April 3): Recommend nonviolence and peace toys to parents. What toy or game will you tell parents and families about?
Week 10 (April 4-onward): Download, print and put up a Nonviolence Means . . . Poster. What poster do you want to post? (You could win a high quality print of it!)

we have to change society."
