Creation and development of a globally-accessible Information Habitat for the Gandhi-King Season for Nonviolence - a database-generated web site and interactive information resources in support of participation in the upcoming Season - in conjunction with an undeniable need for a timely expression of support for ways of nonviolence, peace and justice - and for ways in which creative and cooperative uses of information technology, based on an appreciation of fundamental properties of information, information systems and networks - can offer transformative opportunities for sustainability, justice and peace. |

A home - on the TakingITGlobal platform - for an initiative to release a prototype curriculum in the elements of information globally, in the form of a broadly accessible and understandable curriculum in information ecology for people of all ages - from birth to death. In conjunction with Project Information Habitat - based on a prototype information ecology platform, the curriculum - and related structures and processes - would be developed in a participatory open source framework.
Major project elements have separate homes on the TakingITGlobal and Information Ecology platforms - with the goal of strengthening the global reach of the projects with a particular focus on engaging the interest and participation of young people.

With the theme for the 2003 Gandhi-King Season for Nonviolence: Ahimsa - Opening to an Inner Light, www.season-for-nonviolence.net was developed as an evolving information habitat for nonviolence resources, in honour and recognition of the life, work and teachings of Mohandas K. "Mahatma" Gandhi and of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. The web site incorporates a revised and reorganized calendar of brief messages on nonviolence for each day of the season, and intended to serve as an outline framework for a seasonal ten-week curriculum in nonviolence.
The information habitat is being developed on information ecology design principles, and is increasingly being generated through a Digital Engine.
