Inspired by Gandhi’s principles, Næss understood nonviolence as more than the absence of aggression—it is a deep respect for differing perspectives and a humble approach to disagreement. He believed that open, honest, and respectful dialog is essential for resolving conflicts and building communities that thrive on diversity. Genuine dialog can bridge divides, overcome polarization, and open pathways for growth and collaboration. We commit to fostering this spirit through dialog-based meetings, courses, and projects, empowering local communities and global actors to work together on peaceful solutions to climate crises, social challenges, and political conflicts.
