The Chennai-based Gandhi Peace Foundation (GPF) has announced a project to empower the youth of the world by inculcating in them a culture of non-violence that can promote macro world peace.

Those aged 10-25 have to subscribe to the GPF’s official YouTube channel, https://youtube.com/c/gpfmadras, and click and view https://youtu.be/qA6fLZR5KV0 to understand the concept. They can create their own video with a duration of less than three minutes in Tamil or English with storytelling based on the same concept, or shoot a similar video, upload it on the channel and send the link to the GPF.

According to a press release from S. Kulandaisamy, secretary, GPF, youngsters can register themselves on the WhatsApp number, 7338941134, with their names and WhatsApp numbers, confirming their subscription to the YouTube channel before July 1.

The GPF has also planned to conduct a 3-day certificate course on peace education for school teachers in May.

Interested teachers, with the permission of the school management, should submit an essay on the topic, ‘How do I help my students to resolve their problems in a self-reliant manner?’ The essay in English or Tamil should be based on their own experience and the word limit is 500. The fee would be ₹1,500 per participant.

The courses would be conducted at the GPF at Alwarpet and the last date for registration, along with the essay, is April 20. For further details, email to kulandhaisamy.gpf@gmail.com.
