Hands of Peace is part of an international movement called Alternatives to Violence Project (AVP) teaching creative conflict resolution built on affirmation, respect for all, community-building, cooperation and trust.

Hands of Peace holds community, school and prison-based workshops in personal growth, community development and creative conflict management.

Founded in prison and developed from the real life experiences of prisoners, AVP encourages every person’s innate power to positively transform first themselves and then the world we live in.
