 The Gandhi Project aspires to encourage peace and tolerance in The Region through the promotion of Gandhi's principles and philosophy.
"Gandhi," dubbed in Arabic, will be screened in Palestinian communities and refugee camps, promoting Gandhi's philosophy of nonviolent resistance which was successfully used to gain independence for India.
Administered by Relief International-Schools Online in partnership with Palestinian NGOs and community based organizations, The Gandhi Project is developing a series of educational and training materials to supplement the film. See www.gandhiproject.org for more information. An AP article on the screenings is available here >>. |
