The Non-Violence Project Foundation, NVP, is a non-profit organisation whose mission is to inspire, motivate and engage young people on how to solve conflicts peacefully. It holds violence prevention and nonviolence education programs for schools and sports clubs around the world. NVP, which was registered in 1993 in Bagnes, Switzerland, and has offices in 15 countries around the world, raises public awareness to this mission thanks to NVP's logo, the iconic Knotted Gun sculpture named ''Non-Violence''. Originally created as a memorial tribute to John Lennon after he was shot and killed, the original Non-Violence sculpture, designed and created by Carl Fredrik Reuterswärd, is displayed outside of the United Nations Headquarters in New York City. NVP has educated five millions students, teachers, and sports coaches with programs covering three main subjects: conflict management, self-esteem building, and nonviolence. Sir Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr and Yoko Ono are, among others, ambassadors of the Non-Violence Project. ==The symbol== NVP's signature logo is the Non-Violence also known as the Knotted Gun. It has been created by the Swedish artist, Carl Fredrik Reuterswärd as a memorial tribute to John Lennon after he was shot and killed on December 8, 1980, in New York City. One of the 3 original bronze sculptures is displayed at the United Nations headquarters in New York City. The Knotted Gun has become a worldwide symbol of the non-violence movement.
