Train For Life Communication

Our Goal: To support educators in creating schools and classrooms where compassion, respect and cooperation naturally thrive and where the joy of learning is palpable. We envision our young people with skills to create life-serving systems, within themselves, in their interpersonal relationships and in their social and political organizations, thus empowered to create a peaceful and sustainable world.

The Educators Institute is designed to:

Co-create a life-serving classroom
Deepen Nonviolent Communication skills & consciousness
Model and practice life-serving processes and structures for learning
Provide approaches and activities for sharing NVC with young people
Create a fun, safe and nurturing environment
Create a network for ongoing support

By participating you will practice skills that increase your ability as educators to:

Care for your own needs as well as the needs of students, teachers, administrators and parents
Create partnership relationships based on mutual respect and cooperation
Significantly reduce conflicts
Communicate effectively
Put democratic values into practice
