About this Platform

Welcome to the People-Powered Training Platform, a growing set of interactive courses and tools that enable people to build practical skills in strategic nonviolent action. 

The learning modules serve as a toolbox, offering principles and examples that can be adapted to different regions, issues, and political contexts. Grounded in decades of research on nonviolent resistance, these modules include exercises to help you plan, reflect, and act more effectively. 

The platform supports both personal learning and collective capacity-building, including detailed guidance for leading strategic nonviolent action training in your community. Whether working individually or with others, these resources will help make your efforts more strategic, effective, and ultimately, more powerful.

A Note On Safety

Participants in online or offline training using this platform should be aware that some governments and other entities treat information about nonviolent resistance as sensitive or prohibited. In some contexts, individuals involved in learning about, sharing, or teaching these ideas have faced surveillance, imprisonment, or other forms of repression.


Before engaging with or distributing these materials, you are strongly encouraged to assess your personal circumstances and potential risks. This includes considering local laws, patterns of enforcement, and your own visibility. Take appropriate precautions where needed, including protecting your anonymity, practicing good digital security, and exercising discretion about how and with whom you share these materials.
