Everyone mediates sometime. We might not think of it as mediation but if you ever spend time with kids, friends or a working group you probably have mediated in one way or another.
We are very excited to present this training event as it will have two tracks throughout the week that we trust will serve a lot of needs
Track 1: For anyone who wants to have a lot of practice in “Mediation á la NVC. An opportunity to recieve feedback and coaching on your mediation skills
Track 2: For anyone who wants to have skills, ideas or inspiration on how to teach mediation to others.
Every day will have some short theory, a lot of practice in smaller groups with coaching and feedback. For track 2 there will also be a daily gathering and sharing about how to teach mediation. During this period of the time the participants that choose only track 1 will have a supported practice period.
Track 2 is especially designed for anyone that wants a very practical way how to make mediation skills available for everyone. We will show how to use the format and the excercises that is used in the training.This will enable you to integrate these mediation skills in for example practise groups or trainings.
You might be a teacher, chief, activist, policeofficer, a professional mediator, social worker, project manager, consult, parent, a NVC-trainer, or a fellow human being that wants to bring NVC and mediation deeper into your life.

Previous knowledge:
The participants need at least 2 days of training in NVC before the start of the course, and to have read the book"Begegnung fördern. Mit Gewaltfreier Kommunikation vermitteln. Mediation in Theorie und Praxis” by Liv Larsson. One of the reasons for Liv to write this book is because she saw skilled mediators not having the tools to teach the skills they were using to others.
Trainers:
Liv Larsson and Kay Rung have created a theaching method that breaks down the complicity of mediation into a set of skills that is posible to practice. Combindning that with keydifferentations and clarity of intention. This speeds up the learning and helps people see their strengths and learning edges.
Liv Larsson is a certified trainer in Nonviolent Communication with The Center for Nonviolent Communication. Trained by Marshall Rosenberg, the founder of NVC.
She has worked with Communication training, team and leadership development and mediation since 1992.
Her current focus is conflict management and particularly mediation as well as how to handle shame in our lives. Based in Sweden she works there as well as internationally. She is the mother of Neo 5, and author of six books on communication and mediation.
Kay Rung

Kay offers trainings in communication and mediates in conflicts between couples, in shools, organisations och workplaces and has worked in Europe and Asia since 2000.
He is inspired by Gandhi, Hafiz, and Marshall Rosenbergs life andwork. His son and new teacher in life Neo helps him live what he teaches at home.
Our passion for teaching NVC and mediation comes from seeing how much more people can grow in their NVC – skills when they use it in a specfic situation that also includes other human beings. That gives us hope and trust that when you can mediate a conflict you can also use NVC in other areas of your life.

- If I would have all the money of the world – howmuch I would like to contribute?
- If I would not contribute at all – how would Ifeel then?
- If I would hold my needs as dearly as the team’s needs – how much would I contribute then?
- How would I get these resources? Do I want to do fundraising for that? What other ways could I figure out?
