Sri Lanka International Training plus 2010 dates
The Islander Center - Sri Lankan NVC venue
Dear Friends,
We are offering a 10 day residential training in Nonviolent Communication (NVC) from Feb 1-10th, in Sri Lanka, in conjunction with The Sandhi Institute
We have an international team with rich and varied experience. This is a wonderful opportunity to receive such training for an affordable rate – even with flight costs, it may be work out to be same or less than the cost of other NVC courses of this length. And for some people, the added value of coming to this part of the world and connecting with NVC folks here and exploring before or after the course is of course unmeasurable.
The location is a beautiful training Center in northern part of Sri Lanka, near a national park and close to an ancient Buddhist holy city.
Participants from Sri Lanka will be people working in community mobilization at grass roots level, NGO staff working with war victims and people in camps, staff of NGOs working in development sector, journalists, University students, etc., Both Sinhalese and Tamil (Training will be done in English with translation provided for both of our local languages). We are also anticipating few people from neighbouring India and perhaps Singapore who will join us.
We are only making about 10 places available for folks from outside of Sri Lanka since the purpose of this training is to contribute to healing and reconciliation and community building within Sri Lanka. I would recommend that you act quickly and register soon if you want to get a place.
What will you have gained at the end of the training?
How to…
• See conflict as an opportunity to connect more deeply with yourself and others.
• Express your authenticity clearly and strongly without blame, criticism, or attack.
• Understand compassionately what is motivating others’ words or behaviour.
