We create the day - we show ourselves - we show the Non-Violent Communication - Together at many places - with diversity, visions and ideas - with improvisations - performances - Public engagements - Initiatives as workshops, speeches, informative meetings and a lot more – join us!

Rosenberg defined Nonviolent Communication as an attitude for improving interpersonal interaction. Successful communication and lasting peaceful relationships succeed only with genuine empathic contact. He was convinced that the way we speak plays a crucial role in our ability to remain empathetic.

His work was influenced by the insights of his teacher Carl Rogers (humanistic psychology) from client-centered psychotherapy and Gandhi's reflections on non-violence. He himself said that his concept does not involve anything new, "everything that has been integrated into NVC has already been known for centuries. So it's about reminding us of something we already know - how our interpersonal communication was originally intended."

For more than three decades, he offered his seminars all over the world, and his concept is now applied in families, schools, psychotherapy and counseling, organizations and companies, and in diplomatic and business negotiations. Rosenberg is also used in crisis and war zones to promote non-violent communication, even between hostile ethnic groups (e.g. in Israel and Palestine). In 1994, for example, Serbian educators and psychologists, supported by UNICEF, developed a three-volume work on learning nonviolent communication according to Rosenberg's method for kindergartens and schools.

Rosenberg's goals were:

  • Dissolving our old patterns of defense, retreat and offense;
  • Reducing resistance, defensiveness, and violent reactions;
  • Promote appreciation, attention, empathy, and a desire to give from the heart;
  • Directing attention in a direction that increases the likelihood of getting what we are looking for;
  • Discovering the potential of our empathy by clarifying observation, feeling and need - rather than diagnosis and judgment.
