Workshop

Non-Violent Communication (NVC) is a tool successfully used in conflict resolution, fostering cooperation among individuals, groups, and organizations, as well as in peace negotiations. NVC functions as both a communication framework and a mindset. As a framework, it helps improve communication skills, especially in conflict situations. As a mindset, it enhances integrity, authenticity, self-awareness, connectedness, humility, empathy, and compassion. In that sense, NVC boosts many skills identified as crucial for sustainable growth and development by the IDG.

This interactive workshop is for anyone seeking further development in these areas. Through inputs, exercises, and discussions, we’ll explore aspects of the NVC framework, focusing specifically on the mindset and its capacity to enhance beneficial qualities within ourselves and our interactions with others.

By the workshop’s end, participants will have had a taste of what it’s like to communicate according to NVC and gained insights into how NVC can help develop various IDG skills.
