Learn to be a peacemaker!

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

• Understanding why conflict happens
