Actions:

    • Confirmed the Education Committee will be sponsoring the AVP-Aiki Workshop on May 20-24 (Adaptations as a co-sponsor).

    • Education Committee will be holding a full day pre-conference workshop May 24 will be Changing Perceptions of Power and Control in AVP and Beyond: The Transforming Power of Peace

      • Noelle is a lead facilitator and will be gathering exercises and ideas. (Many of the Education Committee and Adaptions members won't be able to participate because it conflicts with the workshop they will be giving as newly trained facilitators for AVP-Aiki -- but they will contribute ideas for this workshop)

    • Received clarification on the AVP-Variations google discussion group. This is an International discussion group that is open to members of the Adaptations Committee, not a Google group specifically for Adaptations. AVP-Spinoffs remains the discussion group for the AVP USA Adaptations Committee (Katherine will look into how to change the name from Spinoffs to Adaptations.)

Action Items in Preparation for the National Gathering

    • Revisit the Committee Report, send to the rest of the Adaptations Committee for review prior to including in the Conference Packet (Rita / prior to March 11 board meeting)

    • Ask for time (5 minutes) during an early Plenary Session to give a quick overview of Adaptations - what it is, what we're trying to accomplish, who we're hoping to include and involve.

    • Ask for confirmation that Adaptations will have a breakout session to highlight existing Adaptions, so we can send an invitation to encourage people to attend the National Gathering and present a brief overview

    • Create the Call for Adaptations invitation (with SurveyMonkey input form) see below.

    • Work with Rick on what would be required to set up a website for Adaptations (part of or apart from the AVP USA site?)

    • Ask for Adaptations to be included in the Board Retreat following the Gathering as a future oriented, innovative way for AVP Facilitators to be more engaged

    • Ask people to submit ideas for the one day workshop (Changing Perceptions of Power and Control in AVP and Beyond....)

Draft Invitation and Link to SurveyMonkey

The AVP USA Adaptations Committee is seeking submissions for an exhibit and possible breakout session at the National Gathering from AVP facilitators or affiliated groups who are offering adaptations or variations of the standard AVP Basic, Advanced, or T4F workshops.

Adaptations are programs designed by AVP-trained facilitators and offered outside of recognized local or state AVP groups. Variations are programs offered by local or state AVP groups that vary from the traditional 18 - 24 hour Level 1 (Basic), Level 2 (Advanced), or Level 3 (T4F) workshops. These could include 1-hour intros or demos, ½ day workshops, or special topics using content outside of the current standard manuals.

If you are offering an adaptation or variation of AVP and would like it included in an exhibit at the National Gathering (or described with elements demonstrated as part of a *tentative* breakout session), provide the following information about your program. (See link to SurveyMonkey below)
