NVC for All - Learn to Share NVC While Attending to Power Differences

Are you an NVCer who would like support in sharing NVC in a way that attends to the needs of people who have been historically marginalized? Join this inaugural “Train the Trainer” series. You will meet with Roxy on Sundays for 8 sessions to experience a foundational NVC curriculum originally developed by Roxy for and with the Freedom Project. Unpack the theory driving the curriculum to build your awareness of specific issues encountered in communities with less access to power. You will also use this curriculum to concurrently facilitate your own group of learners. After each session you facilitate you will have an opportunity to reflect with Roxy and your fellow trainers about what worked well and challenges based on your group’s context.

Class size will be limited to support in depth engagement and coaching.

Structure of the Course

• Each trainer will organize their own 8-session introductory course that runs concurrently with this offering (Read below for additional guidelines on this.)
• We encourage trainers to team up and co-teach, if they would like to do so. If you register early enough we can connect you to other registered trainers for you to gauge whether you are a good fit to co-train.
• Curriculum, with handouts and slide decks, will be shared with trainers to use in their concurrent course
• Trainers will receive support to tailor the curriculum based on their teaching contexts and communities
• Trainers will crowd-source best practices while also taking into account their contexts
• Each week there will be ample opportunities for trainers to reflect and troubleshoot in community
  • In pods of 3-4 trainers, you will set a weekly time to debrief your sessions and consider how to address any challenges that came up
  • Each pod will choose an area of exploration to be addressed in the larger class by Roxy during the Sunday morning sessions
