The Alternatives to Violence Project (AVP) International concluded a five-day Justice and Peace Basic Workshop with a Special Topic on Trauma and Resilience in Tagaytay City from November 22–26, 2025. The activity gathered the management committee of the Philippine Arab Cooperation Council, Inc. (PACCI) and community peace workers for an intensive training focused on nonviolence, trauma awareness, emotional healing, and cooperative leadership.
The workshop sought to equip participants—many of whom work closely with displaced families, refugees, and conflict-affected communities—with practical and trauma-informed knowledge and skills essential to peacebuilding and community support. Using AVP’s experiential and participatory approach, facilitators guided the group through sessions on affirmation, grounding, conflict transformation, effective communication, healing from trauma, and reconnecting with personal and collective resilience.
