Community Conversations

What are Community Conversations?

Community conversations are a chance to come together as an NVC-UK community and delve into juicy topics, hear and appreciate different perspectives, and invite ourselves and the collective to grow through the experience. These conversations…

  • are ‘Outward looking’ and engaging with the challenges facing us
  • are responding to need, interest and aliveness of the NVC community
  • are responsive to and raising awareness of what is topical and emergent in the world
  • have a clear, sustainable structure
  • are open to anyone in NVC UK network and aim to contribute to greater connectivity in the network

Community conversations emerged from CTW as we reflected on pre-empting conflict, seeing how unspoken conversations can lead to misunderstanding and disconnection. We were excited by the idea of bringing the NVC-UK community to connect across differences, practice living nvc consciousness, and enjoy some time together discussing things that matter to us.

See below for upcoming & previous community conversations, and more information. Let us know if you have topics you want to explore.

More about Community Conversations

There are several types of Community Conversation we envisage…

  • Conversations where there are different perspectives – to increase connection and preempt conflict, including debrief conversations to integrate events
  • Book / film / podcast discussions – to increase awareness and deepen understanding around conflict, nonviolence or social justice
  • Conversations about conflict processes – to share resources and increase learning
  • Community generated conversations – to bring people together where there is energy around a topic or suggestion ?
