Nonviolent Communication

Did you participate in an IIT or in other in-presence-trainings of at least 9 days with
CNVC certified trainers, and you would like to deepen your knowledge and broaden your
skills in living compassion daily and sharing NVC with others?
If this is true for you, you are welcome to join our African Intensive 2026 - Training and Mentoring Days (TMD) -
in Nairobi:
* 5-day deepening NVC Training from August 9th till 13th and
* Mentoring Days from August 14th till 16th.
“We” is the TMD trainer team Anne Dietrich, Christiane Welk, Irmtraud Kauschat, Karen Starz, Lilian Ehidiahmhen, and Samuel Odhiambo.
Since we sadly do not have enough funds yet to cover all the cost of this African Intensive Training, we are
raising funds together with you: We initiated an UBUNTU Resource Mobilization Dance where we all make our capacities to mobilize resources fruitful, so that we have enough to allow everyone to travel to Nairobi and to participate in the training.
After receiving your application, we will invite you to join us in our online UBUNTU sessions, twice a month, to create and coordinate our fundraising activities – every person in their social environment.
Please apply nevertheless, by filling the application google doc, (please remember to click on ’submit’ at the end!) at the following link: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSe8nLhWS0Mm0AFOQ_Vavf9dIv2OPqD8vbVWc68SjHegSaJPbw/viewform

This is a pre-inscription, as we try to raise funds together with you, and we will ask you to confirm as soon as we know more about the financial conditions. It is equally important to us that you join in the fundraising in your capacity.

Here are some of the topics we intend to offer in the training, though we will need to see what is possible in the few days we have. We are also open for requests from you.
