WHO ARE WE?

WHAT ARE WE UP TO?

The Alternatives to Violence Project (AVP) is a network of independent not-for-profit grass-roots volunteer groups offering experiential workshops on self-awareness and creative conflict transformation in prisons, schools, and the wider community. The Help Increase the Peace (HIP) Program is an adaptation of AVP for schools.

These workshops empower individuals to liberate themselves and others from the burden of violence. The fundamental belief of AVP is that there is a power for peace and good in everyone, and that this power has the ability to transform violence. AVP builds on a spiritual basis of respecting and caring for self and others.

Are you interested in attending 20 hour workshops on Transforming Conflict? Or are you interested in learning how to facilitate these workshops?
If so, there are a series of three workshops – Basic, Advanced and Training for Facilitation. These workshops are held in Sydney, Canberra and Newcastle, in New South Wales. The workshops are experiential (learning that is experiencing without lecturing) and cover self-awareness, self-esteem, affirmation, community building, communication, cooperation, conflict resolution and conflict transformation.
