Create A Culture of Peace (AVP Basic Workshop)

Learn to be a peacemaker! https://www.tinyurl.com/avpnj-2024-06/ 

This fun, interactive workshop sponsored by the Alternatives to Violence Project uses our life experiences, hands-on exercises and games to explore how to respond peaceably in situations where injustice, frustration and anger can lead to aggression and hostility. 

This 4-session program is also a first step in training to lead peace programs in your community.

• Building healthy relationships with others 
• Communicating well in difficult situations 
• Being true to yourself while respecting others
