VENUE

38 Petain Rd Singapore 208103

 

 (Nearest MRT Station:

Where the mind is without fear and the head
is held high;
Where knowledge is free;
Where the world has not been broken up into
fragments by narrow domestic walls;
Where words come out from the depth of truth;
Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards
perfection;
Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its
way into the dreary desert sand of dead habit;
Where the mind is led forward by thee into
ever-widening thought and action---
Into that heaven of freedom, my Father,
let my country awake.
                  Gitanjali - R. Tagore

AVP Singapore

The Alternatives to Violence Project (AVP) is an international voluntary movement which organizes workshops empowering people to lead nonviolent lives, based on respecting and caring for ourselves and others.

The AVP is a network of volunteers running workshops for anyone who wants to find ways of resolving conflict without resorting to violence. 

We understand that conflict is a natural and normal part of life, and that it is possible to learn new ways of handling it.  By holding workshops in which the participants consider the underlying causes of friction and violence, practical ways of dealing with situations of conflict are worked out.
Our workshops build on everyday experiences and try to help us move away from violent or abusive behaviour by developing other ways of dealing with conflicts.  They help us to increase the respect we have for ourselves and others.
We believe there is a power for peace and good in everyone, which can transform our relationships.

 Workshops are non-residential, run by our trained facilitators and experiential (not based on lectures).

Our workshops use the shared experience of participants, interactive exercises, games and role-plays to examine the ways in which we respond to situations where injustice, prejudice, frustration and anger can lead to aggressive behaviour and violence.

An AVP basic workshop takes 2-3 full days, and explores the five pillars of AVP: affirmation, communication, co-operation, community building and transforming power.

AVP is open to all ages, backgrounds and genders.  Our workshops are not allied to a particular faith or sect. AVP operates in communities, schools and colleges.
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

·                        recognize the skills you already have and learn new ones

·                        be true to yourself while respecting other people

·                        understand why conflict happens

Affirmation and Communication
Improving communication skills forms an essential part of our workshop.  We begin with introductions, agreeing on boundaries for the workshop, sharing names, and getting to know the group.
The exercises help us improve our listening skills, and share what is good about one another (affirmation) - something we typically don't do enough of.
Co-operation
Learning to co-operate in a group can take different forms, even without communicating verbally!
AVP is an experiential programme - everything we do in our workshops begins with our own experiences.
Before we start discussing co-operation in the workshop, we first remind ourselves how it feels to work in a group, either co-operating with the others or not!
Reflecting on what we learn from our experiences, and listening to what others have learned, helps us to grow as a person
Community Building
Group construction and trust exercises help build a sense of community, as do fun games and shared storytelling of experiences.
Doing such exercises together is fun, and also teaches us a lot about ourselves and others.
Our trained facilitators will debrief each exercise, drawing out lessons and insights from the group.
AVP workshops are great teambuilding tools - participants get to know each other much better, and build a valuable basis of trust and understanding.
Transforming Power
A key element of AVP is pre-emptive conflict resolution by creatively transforming unhealthy relationships through sharing, caring, improved communication skills and sometimes even surprise and humour.
Role-plays and other forms of drama allow us to explore possible approaches to different forms of conflict.
Important insights are gained through the roleplays, which are flexibly adapted and debriefed as they run, again helping us to assess and digest whatever we learn.
