Weekend Workshop on Non-Violent Conflict Resolution. AVP, which was created in 1975 by Quakers and prisoners, uses the shared experience of participants, interactive exercises, game and role-plays to examine the ways in which we respond to situations where injustice, prejudice, frustration, or anger may lead to aggressive behavior and violence. With the support of seasoned AVP facilitators, participants will individually enhance their communication skills and collectively build a sense of community.
