Experience One of the Most Powerful Workshops You’ll Ever Take
I had the opportunity to participate in an Alternatives to Violence Project (AVP) workshop, and it was truly one of the most impactful learning experiences of my career in conflict resolution. It’s creative, eye-opening, and deeply human. I highly recommend it—and I hope you’ll consider joining us.

For over 50 years, AVP has brought peace to a violent world, transforming conflict everywhere from U.S. prisons to communities in Palestine and Sudan. Rooted in the belief that there is good in everyone and that conflict doesn’t have to lead to violence, AVP workshops are built on interactive exercises, real conversations, and powerful group connection. And they work.
