Alternatives to Violence Project - AVP Nebraska

Share

An association of community groups and prison-based groups offering experiential workshops in personal growth and creative conflict management.

The central theme in AVP is Transforming Power. This is the power, available to us all, to change (transform) what might be a violent or destructive situation into a nonviolent one. The basis of Transforming Power is an appreciation of one’s own self worth and a caring attitude towards all others. Accessing this power requires the ability to separate feelings about someone’s behavior from feelings

For this Advanced+ trauma workshop in spanish, instead of just our positive names, we have "Healing names". Our Lincoln group member who is normally Adventurous April is now "Abril Apoyadora". It's been great to see how they facilitate workshops so fluidly via zoom ! What a great way to connect with people from central and south america! (And one USA, one in spain)
