Nonviolent communication is an approach developed by Marshall Rosenberg in 1960s, which has become internationally used as a tool for de-escalation of tensions and conflicts between groups and individuals and as an agent of social change through empathy and compassion towards others. Centre of the NVC theory is the need-based approach: Needs are universal, far from opinions and ideologies and thanks to them people can understand and relate to needs of others. If we are able to recognize needs and feeling of others, it becomes possible for us to empathize with them and create connections and understanding, even if our opinions might differ and clash. This approach is systematized, put into exercises and trained in different contexts and groups, being used as a powerful tool for building understanding and respect among individuals and groups, bringing together different cultures and creating space that is supporting peace.
