Come for a half day workshop in which you will acquire non-violent skills to deal with
disruptive and potentially violent situations in new and creative ways. This fully experiential
workshop will be facilitated by certified trainers from the Alternatives to Violence
Project (AVP). All AVP workshops draw on the shared experience of participants, using
interactive exercises, discussions, games, and role-plays to examine the ways we respond to
situations where injustice, prejudice, frustration, and anger can lead to violent behavior.
An AVP workshop can help you to:
deal more effectively with risk and threatening situations
approach conflict in a more creative and less reactive manner
communicate constructively in difficult situations
recognize the conflict management skills you already have
understand why conflict happens
build good relationships with other people
manage strong feelings such as anger and fear
A goodwill offering for the AVP facilitator is requested
* Food is provided by St. Peter’s Pantry and Phoenixville Ecumenical Meal Program
