  • Conflict resolution + Community health


Type of submission (Please choose one) edit

  • Presentation (one-to-many) and Open discussion (many-to-many)

Summary edit

Introduce a lens for interpreting conflict that supports connection, based on the needs consciousness model from Marshal Rosenberg's Nonviolent Communication (NVC)


Expected outcomes edit

Participants will be able to respond to conflict-oriented statements with greater awareness of their own and others' underlying needs.


Duration (without Q&A) edit

60 minutes minimum, 90 minutes better

Specific requirements edit

  • Will be bringing about 50 sheets of paper that need to be attached to the wall, so would be helpful to have painter's tape or some other adhesive that won't do damage.
  • Circle arrangement is ideal, or groups at tables -- not seats in rows
  • flipchart and markers helpful
