NEW for 2012:

21 Day Extended Training and Cultural Education Program For International Participants

Our special Extended 21-Day Nonviolence Training and Cultural Education Program is available this year for the first time at our International Nonviolence Summer Institute. This program is designed especially for international participants, who would like to spend the first two weeks from June 3-16 on the URI campus for Kingian Nonviolence Level I or Level II training, followed by one additional week of cultural education experiences.

Interested international participants first need to complete their online registration with registration fee duly paid. The final determination of eligibility for a J-1 Exchange Visitor visa for such a 21-day training and cultural education program package, will be evaluated in collaboration with the URI Office of International Students and Scholars, who will then process the necessary application materials (www.uri.edu/iss/).
