3-days training in mediation and reconsiliation.

22 -24 September 2006 Estonia, Tallinn

Trainer Liv Larsson (Sweden), assistant Merike Kahju (Estonia).

Workshop will be conducted in English.

We are kindly asking you to make your registration to the training on-line using registration form at the end of following web-page http://friareliv.se/site/index.php?id=172,261,0,0,1,0

A workshop on the need based mediation model of Nonviolent Communication where the main focus is on identifying underlying needs, universal to all parties. Once connection to those needs occurs, resolutions and settlements are formulated by the parties collaboratively. Reconciliation takes the process one step further and allows for deep healing within and between conflicting parties.

The course provides understanding and skill building towards using the Nonviolent Communication process to mediate conflict in different situations. This course is mostly focusing on how to practice using Nonviolent Communication and its application to mediation but will also have some more theoretical parts.

Nonviolent Communication offers a way out the win/loose thinking that is so often prevalent in conflict situations, by focusing on creating empathic connection among the parties, with confidence that out of that connection resolutions will develop which will be satisfactory to all.

This training could be a challenge if you do not have thorough understanding of Nonviolent Communication as focus will be on practicing skills that you already have and putting those into a mediation "package".

There will be also possibility on evenings to connect more with people participating from other countries and create connections and networks.

a) if your monthly income is up to 650 EUR we suggest you to choose your payment between 130 -190 EUR;

NVC and money:

Our consciousness in using NVC is that money is a strategy to meet needs. When we offer workshops, we meet a variety of our own needs, including for contribution, meaning, connection, and growth. We want to also meet our need for support in our livelihood through our teaching of NVC because that way we can contribute most of our time and energy without seeking other work through which to sustain ourselves and our families. Hoping to meet these needs, we ask that each person contribute the most they can.

At the same time, we have a deep joy in and commitment to making NVC available to all people regardless of their financial means. This meets our needs for inclusion, hope, and concrete action toward bringing peace to our world. Hoping to meet these needs, we ask that each person contribute not more than they are able to.

We are aware that "money" is a charged issue for most of us in this culture. We hope that each person will consider our sliding-scale an opportunity to consider the variety of needs that exist within your relationship to money your needs for sustainability, security, ease, comfort, and contribution, among others. We hope that each person would consider those needs of yours along with ours which we described above, and arrive at an amount that reflects your financial reality grounded in your needs. Hoping to meet all of our needs, we ask that each person contribute the most that you would like to.

We are excited about this approach as we predict that, over time, it will contribute to meeting all of our needs for learning and for moving toward a society in which everyone's needs can be met.
