This workshop

This introductory (Basic) workshop runs over two consecutive Saturdays, and participants will need to attend both days in order to complete the workshop and gain the full benefit of the workshop.

The Alternatives to Violence Project

AVP is an international non-religious, not-for-profit volunteer organisation, based on 50 years of experience.

In Western Australia, the Alternatives to Violence Project WA (Inc) has run workshops since 1994.

The programme

We facilitate experiential workshops for members of the general community and inmates at various Western Australian prisons to assist participants in discovering new and creative ways of responding to conflict.

In a supportive and safe environment, participants explore strengths and skills within themselves that will enable them to deal with future conflict or potentially violent situations in a more constructive and pro-active manner.

Basic workshop

In a Basic Workshop, guided experiences and exercises focus on Affirmation, Communication, Co-operation, Community Building, Trust and Conflict Resolution.

Advanced workshop

Participants who complete a Basic workshop are invited to participate in a more in-depth Advanced Workshop in which themes such as Fear, Anger, Self-Control, Empathy, Power &Powerlessness and Forgiveness are explored.

Training for Facilitators (T4F) workshop and beyond

On completion of both Basic and Advanced level workshops, participants are invited to a third level workshop, where they may train to become facilitators to help with this valuable work in schools, prisons and the community. We call this level a Training for Facilitators (T4F).
