Create A Culture of Peace (AVP Basic Workshop)

Learn how to be a peacemaker! https://tinyurl.com/avpnj-08-2024/ 

Do you want to be a peacemaker? Then sign up for this interactive workshop with the Alternatives to Violence Project. Using people’s life experiences and hands-on exercises, we explore how to respond peacefully in conflict situations where frustration and anger can lead to hostility. This is also a first step in learning to facilitate peace programs in your community.

This AVP workshop helps us to: 

• Understand why conflict happens 

• Manage strong feelings such as anger and fear 

• Communicate well in difficult situations 

• Be true to ourselves while respecting others 

• Activate the peacemaking skills we already have
