Theme Projects:

Theme projects are initiated by the Center for Nonviolent Communication to create specialized Nonviolent Communication training programs which focus on certain areas of application. These are some of our theme projects:

(1) Freedom project provides NVC training to prison inmates and those who have been released, supporting the transformation of prisoners into peacemakers.

(2) Parenting project coordinated by Inbal Kashtan focuses on creating a space for children to grow up acting out of joyful choice instead of guilt, shame, obligation, fear of consequences or desire for reward.

(4) Global Community Project Objective: To support the world-wide sharing of information to enhance our effectiveness as an NVC community in living and sharing NVC collaboratively and using it to create life-serving systems.
