Workshop: E027 Introduction to Unarmed Civil Protection

A presence that protects and transforms

The workshop will focus on Unarmed Civil Protection (UCP), an alternative conflict resolution strategy in France and abroad.
It is based on non-violence and helps to open or expand spaces that make it possible to protect the safety of humans and build lasting peace.

The workshop will focus on Unarmed Civil Protection (UCP), an alternative conflict resolution strategy in France and abroad that is only used when the local population wants it. It is based on non-violence and offers different methods such as observation, documentation of human rights violations, information, mediation and physical accompaniment.

The workshop will start with an introduction through dynamic exercises and videos in order to grasp the notions of (non-)violence and to progressively introduce UCP. A photo workshop will then be used to deepen the main principles in a didactic way, complemented by an exercise to experience the concepts of positive and negative peace.

The dynamic practical exercises could be :
- a violence barometer
- a role playing exercise
- an active debate
