AVP Britain > our workshops

Our level one and level two workshops look at different ways of handling conflict. These three-day workshops are run by our facilitators who organise exercises, fun activities, discussions and role-plays. Participants are encouraged to share and learn from one anothers' skills and experiences.

Level One

Participants often remark on the warm, trusting atmosphere and community spirit that are built in our level one workshops, which involve:

• building self-esteem, affirmation, trust and co-operation
• exploring methods of communication
• learning about creative ways of resolving conflicts.

Level Two

After attending a Level One, participants can explore issues in more depth with one or more Level Two workshops. These look at the underlying causes of violence such as fear, anger, stereotyping, power, and powerlessness. They take a deeper look at ways of resolving conflicts, including communication and forgiveness. Usually the participants choose the focus of the work.

Training for Facilitators

Separate workshops are organised for those who have experienced AVP, and wish to train as facilitators.
