From the outset, MEND's approach has been participatory and innovative. MEND, having built its reputation on a holistic and creative approach to promoting nonviolence in schools, has taken this approach further to reach the general population.
Working through film, radio, bumper stickers and posters, training manuals, and other materials, MEND has changed the local attitude to nonviolence from one of skepticism or dismissal (when MEND was first established) to one of interest and appreciation – so that now even the Palestinian President and Prime Minister talk about nonviolence.
