AVP Britain > alternatives to violence project

The Alternatives to Violence Project (AVP) organises workshops for people from all walks of life who want to handle conflict well.  An AVP workshop can help you to:

• manage strong feelings such as anger and fear
• deal more effectively with risk and danger
• build good relationships with other people
• communicate well in difficult situations
• recognise the skills you already have and learn new ones
• be true to yourself while respecting other people
• understand why conflict happens

in your community

AVP community workshops take place all over Britain.  They are low-cost, friendly and attract people from a variety of ages and backgrounds.  Workshops usually begin on a Friday evening and finish on a Sunday afternoon.  Find a workshop near you or find out more about AVP workshops
