Description
The AVP Manual for Youth Workshops features a collection of over 100 experiential learning exercises suitable for elementary and middle school children. Building on the groundwork laid in the Basic Alternatives to Violence Project Manual, this handbook uses circle-learning processes to explore topics related to conflict resolution like self esteem, affirmation, community building, team building, communication, cooperation, conflict transformation, power, anger, fear and discrimination.
The exercises in the manual incorporate exercises from the AVP Basic Manual, adapted to this younger age group, plus age-specific exercises not found in the Basic Manual. Introductory sections describe the necessary adaptations to AVP workshops that promote a successful youth experience and describe several successful AVP youth program models in North America.
The activities have been collected and developed by the Alternatives to Violence Project (AVP), an international network of organizations providing conflict resolution workshops in prisons, schools and community groups in 36 states and more than 50 countries worldwide since 1975. Far more than a problem-solving tool kit, the workshops built on this Manual successfully transform lives and communities in all cultures, as declared by participants and community leaders alike in North and South America, Africa, Europe, Asia, Australia and island nations.
For group leadership development as well as those interested in personal conflict resolution, alternative responses to violence and anger management. Other manuals available in this series: Basic and Advanced/Second Level.
