The Caravan
The Caravan is an informal co-creative Nonviolent Communication (NVC) gathering of like-minded people to share and celebrate Nonviolent Communication in a safe and open environment with a diverse international group. The Caravan is open to those who are new to NVC and curious. A unique opportunity for immersion in the NVC paradigm.
Here you can:
- learn about applying NVC principles in organisations
- learn more about applying NVC in your personal and professional lives and among friends, family and groups
- provide your workshop if you are a more experienced NVC practitioner
- test a new program
- share your insights if you are experienced in NVC
- make new friends, find empathy buddies or new collaborators for projects
Social time together is an important part of the Caravan and there will be plenty of opportunities to socialise and network.
The Caravan will be held in the new Civil Defence HQ on the outskirts of Roscommon town. Click here to see the location.
