The Center for Nonviolent Conflict Research (CNCR) is an independent, nonprofit educational foundation focused on civilian-based, nonmilitary strategies to establish and defend human rights, democratic self-rule, and justice worldwide. Based in Washington, DC, it operates within the civic and social organizations landscape and collaborates with educational institutions and other non-governmental organizations to stimulate interest in nonviolent conflict. The organization educates the global public by utilizing broadcast networks, the internet, and learning materials for schools and universities to convey the history and ideas of nonviolent conflict in societies where rights or self-determination are at issue. It seeks to influence policy and media coverage by holding meetings and briefings, co-sponsoring conferences, and providing articles, books, and films to international institutions, decision makers, and media professionals. CNCR also offers seminars and workshops for activists and citizens who are considering civilian-based action, helping to build conceptual knowledge and practical skills in applying nonviolent strategies.
