Course Content

The course is designed to promote Gandhian nonviolent communication at individual levels, at institutional level and at societal levels. While it will cover the Gandhian approach to nonviolence, it will give a detailed exposition of the approach to nonviolent communication which the Mahatma promoted in practice. The course will cover in-depth the art of nonviolent communication in the age of Metaverse, in the process of mediation, for inner transformation, and for mutual coexistence.

The course is so built that it not just inculcates ‘peace’ traits in an individual but also aids relationship building and emotional bridge building. It provides not just an understanding of peace but also adds meaning to life. The purpose of the course is well being of an individual in form of mental peace and of the world in form of nonviolent mutual co-existence.

Class Structure

There will be a minimum of 2 contact hours with one faculty every week. The content being discussed in each class will be concluded within 90 minutes, the discussion time will be free format, and can continue for an additional 30 minutes. There will be two tests, one MCQ based and an Oral presentation towards the end of the course to evaluate students’ understanding on the concepts discussed.
