Introduction

How can people with diverse values and opposing opinions understand each other and work together? The foundation is communication. Among the many skills to strengthen communication, Nonviolent Communication (NVC) has gained attention as a highly practical and effective approach. By learning this method, participants can gain confidence in their research, friendships, and professional collaborations.
In this two-day intensive workshop, we welcome two NVC specialists to guide participants.
