Ozge Altinkaya

Name: Ozge Altinkaya

Location: London, England

Ozge has been teaching Nonviolent Communication (NVC) since 2017, working with diverse groups ranging from teachers and activists to corporate organisations and non-profit bodies. She also mediates between conflicting parties. Her courses focus on areas such as Introduction to NVC, Foundational Training, Conflict Resolution with NVC, and the application of NVC in specific contexts, including feedback, structural change, culture building/shifting, and navigating power differences.

Ozge is passionately interested in the systemic, social, and cultural roots of problems, and she incorporates a systemic perspective into her trainings, adjusting the intensity according to the topic and context. Through this lens, she explores the connections between our struggles in personal lives, communities, groups, and society at large, and the broader systemic structures.

Ozge's journey into NVC began over ten years ago, driven by her longstanding interest in psychology. She has completed an extensive range of trainings in the following years and she still passionately continues to expand her knowledge, deepen her consciousness and develop her practice through participating continued professional development events and trainings.

Over the past four years, Ozge's work has been primarily focused on organisational contexts, though she continues to offer NVC trainings as well.

Prior to her work in NVC, Ozge earned her graduate and postgraduate degrees in Art History and Museum Studies. She spent several years working in museums and art galleries and taught in this field at university level and in her private practice for over 11 years. This rich educational background and deep understanding of human culture and societal dynamics significantly inform her NVC practice.
