The theme for 2003 was Ahimsa - Opening to an Inner Light: Healing the Diseases of Violence, Racism and War: The Learning, Teaching and Practice of Nonviolence and of the myriad of opportunities to participate in the season.

Offer inspirational resources for all those concerned with peace and nonviolence - especially among the emerging youth and student peace networks and leaders of the faith communities - in the hopes that this could contribute to the possibility of a profound and widespread expression of a viable alternative to violence, racism and war.

Demonstration of an information ecology approach to online information management, through the implementation of designs for a prototype open source digital engine.

The Digital Engine is a centerpiece of the methodology and architectural plans for the Gandhi-King site - and will serve as a key building block in the development of Elementary Curricula in Information Ecology and Light and Colour.


Needs:
Technical help - especially with CGI sripts - finding the optimal hosting service, etc. I could also use some help with organizing files, file management, compiling and organizing online nonviolence resources, and an assortment of database-, web site- and electronic mail-related tasks - not to mention a larger space in which I could work - a space where it would be a lot easier to work with other people and a modest size local area network [^_^] - and it wouldn't hurt at all to have some help with administrative tasks, including writing and circulating proposals for funding.

The project could also use help in terms of getting information out - especially among youth and students - about the season for nonviolence - and in mobilizing individuals and organizations that may be willing to initiate one or more activities or events to honour Mahama Gandhi and Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and to show the world that their deaths - whose dates define the beginning and end of the Season - were not in vain.
