Welcome to AVP WA
AVP is a not for profit community organisation. Visit us on Facebook .
AVP-WA is on the National Register of ‘Harm Prevention Charities’ , therefore donations are tax deductible.
AVP-WA is part of a world-wide network of similar groups. The practical objective of AVP is to present experiential workshops. These workshops have been developed to provide people with an opportunity to work towards peace and dignity in an increasingly violent world. They are built upon the belief that people have the capacity to transform hostility and destructiveness into cooperation and community.
AVP-WA is an incorporated, non-profit and self funded educational institution. In its origins and philosophy it has ties to the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) but it is not a religious organization.
AVP-WA conducts workshops in prisons, schools and for the general community. In 2005 we held interfaith workshops to try to build bridges between different faiths. In 2009 we held a total of 52 workshops including some for indigenous participants. This year we hope to extend that work and reach more regional areas. Workshops are usually held over two or three days and are led by a team of facilitators.
