In October and November 2020, two #AVP workshops took place in #Beirut. Facilitators from Iraq and Jordan came together and introduced AVP in the capital city. In an interview with the team, we learned what motivated them and their learnings. #Alternativestoviolence #volunteers

Peace is not the absence of conflict but the presence of creative alternatives for responding to conflict -- alternatives to passive or aggressive responses, alternatives to violence. ✒️

Thank you to @WarChildLebanon for helping us in these steps. We hope we can work together again in March with more workshops to come in #Lebanon

A group of 3 AVP facilitators did 2 successful workshops in Lebanon last year. People in Lebanon are living in a difficult situation with a lack of life essentials that results in increased anger and violence. We want to take AVP further and make a change #alternativestoviolence
