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 Box contains everything that a school or sports club needs to deliver a violence prevention and peace education module. It includes a one meter fiberglass replica of the Knotted Gun symbol and a multimedia resource, comprising training instructions and selected Get the Point education programs.

Get the Point Foundation is a successful international youth education and leadership initiative promoting social change.
Our objectives are to inspire, motivate and engage young people in positive action and to reduce youth violence, enabling the next generation to understand how good leadership can make a difference and how they, too, can become leaders and role models themselves.
The origin of Get the Point Foundation is the Non-Violence Project which was launched fifteen years ago. Our track record speaks for itself. Close to 5 million students, teachers and sport coaches around the world have taken part in one or more of our education programs. Today there are Non Violence offices in Sweden, the UK, USA , Brazil and South Africa.
