CREATING A CULTURE OF PEACE: Community based training for generating nonviolent power

Strengthen your spirit and skills for peacemaking!

CCP is training in the spirituality, practice and power of active nonviolence.

Creating a Culture of Peace is a total of 20 participatory hours.

The program is divided into 5 sections : Violence, Non Violence, Community Building, Social Movements, and Action Planning. Every hour is dedicated to something specific and a very important part.

The innovative design allows you to discover your own power and to increase your skills for respectful engagement with opponents, instead of perpetuating confrontations that polarize and demonize.

Unlike trainings that emphasize only war issues, this training is an incubator for you to learn to actively confront many issues that concern you, whether group controversy or conflict, neighborhood violence, domestic violence, climate change, militarism, discrimination, video games, homelessness, peace education, lack of health care or something else.

You will develop a strong community with a common foundation prepared to work together effectively for peace and justice.

The training is highly participatory; it does not depend on books and lectures. It draws upon your own wisdom, experience and talents and on the skills and knowledge of trained facilitators. Mutual learning occurs through storytelling, meditation, small group sharing, brainstorming, role plays, thought-provoking exercises, music and movement. It guides you through an exploration of nonviolence principles, an analysis of social change and community-building, provides resources, and builds skills for peacemaking. Every group chooses and plans concrete projects of their own choosing.

If you would like to request a training for your church, neighborhood, school, social group or anything else, just CALL US! This program can be modified to specifically fit your group.

The CCP program was developed by Janet Chisholm. She is the founder, national coordinator of Creating a Culture of Peace.  An educator, and social services manager, she is a faith-based trainer, activist, writer and speaker.
