The 2009 Warriors Without Weapons program is taking on applications for people youngsters who want to change the world.

The objective of the program is to initiate people to the path of Warriors Without Weapons, by offering each participant first-hand experience in proposing and developing projects. Each participant can apply this learning in their cities, regions, and countries to propose projects that address a place’s social and environmental problems while respecting its unique identity.

 

 

 

In addition to the work in the community, the program includes workshops and experiential games led by the indigenous leaders who inspired the program. These guides help introduce participants to the “Way of the Warrior,” which is associated with the four elements:

Land, Water, Fire, and Air.

This program will gather youth from different countries that are willing to roll up their sleeves and really make a better world. After 30 days working collectively with a local community, they will come back home with knowledge and experience to start to promote change in their local realities. In 2009 the program will take place in Santos, Brazil from January 5 to February 5.
