Creating a Culture of Peace
Basic AVP Workshop
Sponsored by the North Carolina Alternatives to Violence Project in partnership with the NC Peace Resource Center
What? Alternatives to Violence Project (AVP) helps us explore the power we all have to change hostility and destructiveness into cooperation, community, and justice.
Why? To discover new ways to reduce conflict in your world, your community, organization, or personal life. Enjoy a hands-on, fun, activity-based experience (no need to take notes!) in an intensive weekend workshop. People who’ve taken the training report they have connected deeply with others, laughed, shared, listened. They’ve experienced increased trust and improved self-esteem and learned ways to reduce conflict in their world—whether classroom, family, work, or community.

FAQs
Who is AVP for? It is a program for everybody. Though founded by Quakers based on their belief in an inborn power for peace in everyone, it draws its participants and its trainers from all religions, races and
walks of life.
Can I participate in just a portion of the weekend training? Participants are asked to make a commitment to be present for the entire training. Certificates of attendance will be presented to participants who attend all sessions. Continuing education credit may be available for some professionals. Check with your organization to see if this is a possibility.
