Nonviolent Communication I in Care

Course overview

This training course on Nonviolent Communication I focuses on the fundamental principles of a communication approach aimed at making conversations more conscious, clearer, and appreciative. The central theme is the ability to better understand your own feelings and needs while also empathically engaging with others, even in challenging or conflict-ridden situations. Nonviolent Communication is based on an inner attitude of appreciation, openness, and willingness to cooperate. You will learn how this attitude can sustainably change your communication and help reduce misunderstandings while building trust in both professional and personal environments. It is not about 'perfect communication' but about a more conscious handling of language, perception, and emotions. Another focus is on distinguishing between observation and evaluation. You will develop a better understanding of how language influences our perception and how you can defuse conflicts through clear, neutral formulations. Additionally, you will learn to perceive and express feelings and needs more precisely to enable genuine connection in conversations.
