ABOUT NVC

Nonviolent Communication is a powerful communication tool that can help you to transform your relationships with other people, and even with yourself!

NVC is particularly useful when people are communicating in challenging ways – with aggression or noncompliance.  It is also a powerful empathy tool – it will help you to support people who are in pain or confusion, to help them understand themselves more and find inner calm and peace.  And it is also a powerful tool for self-empathy – it will help you to understand yourself better and make more effective choices in your own life and relationships.

Nonviolent Communication (NVC) was developed by Marshall Rosenberg, international peacemaker and founder of the Centre for Nonviolent Communication

For over 35 years, Dr. Rosenberg and his associates have provided NVC training in more than 30 countries around the world, offering workshops and conflict resolution sessions for schools, teachers, counsellors, health care providers, mediators, managers, prisons, police, clergy, government officials and others.

Peace programmes have been initiated in a number of areas with conflict including Rwanda, Burundi, Nigeria, Malaysia, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Sierra Leone, Colombia, Serbia, Croatia Northern Ireland and the Middle East.
