Year Course: NVC Mediation
We’re thrilled to invite you to our ‘NVC Mediation’ Year-Long Course #18 (!!!). So far, we have offered: 06 such courses online, 03 in Amsterdam, 01 in Switzerland, and 08 in France (a shorter version).
Mediator
Mediator is both the name of a profession and a crucial role in life and society. My wish is that all human beings on this planet acquire the skill to mediate.
This course is designed for those of you who want to learn mediation as a life skill and/or aim to have it as a profession.
Mediation is a fundamental social skill
If you spend time with children, friends, colleagues, or in any kind of meeting or gathering, then you surely have some mediation skills already.
Conflict is not necessarily when two or more people shout at each other. There are many scales (small to large) of challenges, misunderstandings, tensions and unspoken frustration whenever there is cooperation between people.
Mediation in daily life
Mediation as a practice in daily life is based on the assumption that the structure of two is not enough. When two people are stimulated they are less available to Empathize, to see the beauty in one another. The mediator is simply a third party who is not stimulated and has the skills to help create connection, cooperation and creativity to discover and meet everyone’s needs.
My dream
I wish mediation was a basic life skill that was taught in schools starting at the age of 3… I dream of a world where all human beings have mediation skills to support understanding, cooperation and connection when conflicts, misunderstandings or differences in opinion arise.
The Intention, Art and Craft of Mediation
You will learn:
❀ How to enjoy conflict – staying centered when a conflict becomes heated
❀ The role of mediator – what a mediator is actually responsible for, and how to make it fun and meaningful rather than feel like a stressful job
❀ Mediation structure: pre-mediation, mediation, post mediation
❀ The 5 Movements of Passing a Message – the basic rhythm of a mediation
❀ The practice of Interruption that Brings Connection
❀ Deepening Empathic skills – Empathy as the bread and butter of mediation
❀ How to lead dialogue towards sustainable agreements
❀ Going beyond a ‘NO’ – how to continue when one or both parties don’t agree to a suggestion
❀ “Instead of going to court, shall we go deeper?” – when a conflict seems stuck we can always go one layer deeper until connection and cooperation naturally surface
❀ How to be impartial
❀ Self-connection and self-expression as a mediator
❀ How to go beyond concepts of fairness and how to free a dialogue from demands to encourage free choice
❀ Inner mediation – mediating a conflict between different voices within one person
❀ How to facilitate a Healing Dialogue
❀ Group mediation
❀ And more…
This course will
Give you skills, tools, experience, clarity and competence to lead professional mediations as well as initiate day-to-day mediations in many life situations.
Learning style
You will be invited to work on examples from your own life in an interactive and safe learning environment. We will practice Nonviolent Communication through demonstrations, role-play and exercises in order to integrate NVC values and language more into our daily lives.
The way we teach is: 30% Theory and 70% of Practice/Demonstration/Learning from LIVE situations that are happening in the here and now. Our focus is very much on the Embodied aspect of ‘Nonviolent Communication’, so be ready to dive.
Extra support
Assistants: We will have about assistants accompanying us during this course. They’ve already completed the Basic, Intermediate, Advanced and Year Courses with us and some are engaged in their steps toward teaching/sharing NVC.
