Knot violence is part of a global campaign that has been initiated by the Get the Point Foundation.

We want to inspire, motivate and engage young people to better understand how to solve conflicts without resorting to violence.

Our signature logo is the well known ’Non-Violence’ sculpture - the gun with a knotted barrel. It was originally created in 1980 as a memorial tribute to John Lennon, after he was shot and killed in New York City.

Today the ’Non-Violence’ symbol is featured prominently in more than thirty prestigious public locations including major museums, the UN headquarters in New York, the Olympic Museum in Lausanne as well as in Cape Town, Beijing, Miami, Curitiba, Stockholm, Honolulu, Madrid, Washington, Paris and Moscow.

The Knot Violence Futbol for Peace campaign was piloted and launched in partnership with Portsmouth Football Club and with the support of PFC and England goal keeper David James. Knot Violence Futbol for Peace aims to engage young people in proactive alternatives to violence and challenges them to be creative when it comes to conflict resolution. The pilot phase of the campaign attracted a feature from the BBC's Match of the Day you can view a segment of the BBC film.

The primary objective of the Knot Violence Futbol for Peace campaign is to initiate the largest youth outreach education program during the World Cup in South Africa and beyond, creating a legacy of peace and non‐violence for African youth and for the youth of the world.
