Abstract
Danilo Dolci believed that nonviolent protest was a vital tool for a community to win respect for their rights. The main protest actions he adopted were hunger strikes, ‘reverse strikes’ and marches. This pedagogy of action was an essential part of Dolci’s Ecological Maieutics, and his RMA meetings usually worked towards a discussion of a plan of action, the most significant of which were the construction of the dam on the river Jato and the building of the Mirto Experimental Educational Centre. Protest actions came to constitute the main instrument for what Dolci defined as ‘organic planning’, bringing humans into harmonious symbiosis with nature.
