About the host Timo Virtala: For fifteen years I have been teaching nonviolence in The Center for Non-Military Cervice in Finland. Based on these lecturers I have written a book called The Power of Nonviolence – Stories of Bravery. It includes 21 examples of the use of the power of nonviolence: from Mohandas Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr to Greta Thunberg and many others.
