The NVC Academy is happy to be in partnership with The Center for Nonviolent Communication. CNVC is an international nonprofit peacemaking organization that was founded in 1984 by Dr. Marshall Rosenberg, the creator of Nonviolent Communication.
CNVC’s mission and vision
CNVC has been helping people peacefully and effectively resolve conflicts in personal, institutional, and political settings for more than 40 years by promoting and sharing Nonviolent Communication, “The Language of Life.” CNVC aims to steward the integrity of the NVC process and serve as a nexus point of NVC-related information worldwide.
CNVC’s mission is deeply aligned with the NVC Academy’s purpose of contributing to a world of interdependence and nonviolence, and we are happy to collaborate with their organization. For example, throughout our history, most of our courses have been led by people who were certified as trainers by CNVC. While the NVC Academy provides an online platform for Certified Trainers to share Nonviolent Communication, CNVC operates the Certification Program.
The Center for Nonviolent Communication envisions a world where:
-
Everyone's needs matter and are supported through compassionate giving;
-
People attend to conflicts peacefully through dialogue and creative problem solving;
-
Every individual embraces self-compassion and self-acceptance;
-
Our institutions in education, health care, banking, politics, and commerce are meeting the needs of the people impacted by them;
-
We are contributing to the well being of others as a way of honoring one of the most important human needs: contribution.
CNVC’s offerings
