Contact your School Administrator and/or School Board Members at your local schools with this education plan. Let the halls of our public schools resound with the ideals and successes of nonviolence. Through knowledge empower the students with skills for a nonviolent life style.

Words cannot express our appreciation for all the Interspirituality Empowerment Project friends that came out to support the Art of Humanity Season for Nonviolence Celebration on Saturday, April 13! We are grateful to Herta Okonkwo for starting this movement in our region. The young people who share their experiences in cultivating a culture of love, peace and nonviolence in their classrooms and communities were inspiring! Teens with a Purpose Artivists, Cason, Jessica, and Imagine and the Little Theater of Virginia Beach performers were powerful and transformational as they moved people's hearts through the arts! Our young people were able to secure an ongoing commitment to continue to support the Season for Nonviolence from Virginia Beach leaders Mayor Bobby Dyer and Superintendent Dr. Aaron Spence!
