Being able to communicate and interact in a positive way with other people is critical in all parts of life, and especially in a complex and diverse environment like the Wikimedia movement.
This will be a workshop for beginners on Nonviolent Communication, an approach to communication that seeks empathic dialogue and understanding among all parties. It is aimed at understanding Nonviolent Communication and learning how to use it. We will spend most of the time on hands-on practice.
This is an introductory workshop to Nonviolent Communication, covering one full day plus an optional short follow up the day after. This is a follow-up session; the main session is on Wednesday.
We will start on August 7th in Belgrade room with a short introduction, and then move to Modra room for the rest of the day. While shown separately in the program, these form one session. On August 7th, depending on participants' interest, we will have a 60-minutes follow up session to reflect together on our experiences of the day through the lens of nonviolent communication.
During the workshop, we will cover the basics of Nonviolent Communication and learn how to use it. Most of the time will be spent practicing. Participants will be invited to bring real-life cases of difficult or frustrating conversation they have experienced, if they feel comfortable doing so.
Being able to really talk with each other, and to listen to each other, is critical to collaboration.
