    • Leadership Academy Graduates Begin Nonkilling Work

    January 2010. The Center for Global Nonkilling (CGNK) is seeking ways to reduce killing in the world and help people realize that it is possible to change the prevailing attitudes and conditions which lead to killing. One essential strategy is to help leaders realize the possibilities and support their efforts to incorporate nonkilling principles and practices into their spheres of influence.

    To that end, from October 4 to 16, 2009, CGNK convened the first Nonkilling Global Leadership Academy in Honolulu, Hawai`i. The intent was to challenge young leaders from around the world, representing different faiths, ethnicities and backgrounds, to consider how they might become part of making killing-free societies a reality. Away from their day-to-day responsibilities, in a setting designed for intense learning and reflection, these young leaders explored with world renowned leaders and CGNK faculty how to make real the possibilities of a world where killing is no longer taken for granted.
