The International Day of Non-Violence is observed on 2 October, the birthday of Gandhi. \u00a0During this day, we also remember the work and the commitment of Aldo Capitini and Danilo Dolci, because through their memory, we can commit ourselves to build a a more sympathizing and fair world.<\/p>\n

We can\u2019t forget all people who live in violence or war situation , in which they lose the right to live and the peaceful living together. We can ask ourselves, \u00a0without falling into the rhetoric of sentences or forced speeches, about nonviolence value and the relation between humanity and \u00a0reality.<\/p>\n

So, we celebrate this day to promote a culture of peace, tolerance, comprehension, interculturality and non violence. This day becomes an important way to develop critical conscience in grass roots and to pay attention to peaceful relationship between people, culture and countries both at \u00a0International and National level.<\/p>\n

We can spread nonviolent \u00a0message to schools, institutions and among young people and in the decision-making places of politics. \u00a0A politic world that sees too\u00a0 away from people\u2019s interests, especially from undefended people.<\/p>\n

We have to create education initiatives to believe in social value of nonviolence. We can play a significant role to show important experience in this field.<\/p>\n

I want to conclude with nonviolent activist\u2019 words, that fought against mafia and corruption in Sicily. Danilo Dolci said: \u201cwho objects that until now in history structural changes weren\u2019t possible through nonviolent methods, that have never existed nonviolent revolutions, it is necessary to answer with new experimentations in order to show that what hasn\u2019t existed yet in a complete way, can exist. It is necessary to promote a new history\u201d (from Don\u2019t you hear the smell of smoke?<\/em>, Laterza 1971, p.90).<\/p>\n

Public information and awareness are important concept to reaffirm the universal relevance of nonviolence term. Today, we can testify our experience.<\/p>\n
