Today marks the International Day of Living Together in Peace.
The theme for this year is 'Building Trust through Dialogue, Inclusion and Reconciliation' which really reflects the heart of the Alternative to Violence Project. Through workshops and community building activities, AVP creates safe spaces where people can listen, learn about nonviolence and strengthen relationships based on respect and understanding.
Across the world, AVP groups play an important role in bringing people together in prisons, schools, communities and organisations, with a shared commitment to nonviolence and the belief that peace begins with each of us, working to build a more peaceful, inclusive and compassionate world 🫶🌍💙
