Application to CANVAS training ~ DEADLINE: May 1, 2008

There will be a pre-conference strategic nonviolent civil resistance training offered at Portland State University, September 9-10, 2008. The training group, CANVAS (Centre for Applied NonViolent Action & Strategies, www.canvasopedia.org), operates around the world, helping indigenous civil society to shape their resistance nonviolently. The CANVAS trainers are all veterans of struggles that successfully ended a dictatorial regime (Serbia, Ukraine, apartheid in South Africa, etc.) This will be their first training ever in North America. This is some of the most effective and sought-after nonviolence training on Earth.

What we offer:

~ Two days of CANVAS training at PSU.
~ Housing (local home).
~ Complimentary basic admission to PJSA's Sept 11-14 conference at PSU.

What you provide:

~ Your transportation to Portland.
~ 12 hours of volunteer time during PJSA's "Building Cultures of Peace" conference on Sept 11-13. You choose the volunteer category and times from remaining slots. More info on volunteer needs here.

The CANVAS training is limited to 30 participants. The due date for your application is May 1, 2008. You will be notified by June 1, 2008.
