Non-Violence kicks off 2024 with first graduates of the Non-Violence Certified Change Facilitators Program

The Non-Violence Project Foundation is incredibly proud to kick off 2024 with our first group of recent graduates of the Non-Violence Certified Change Facilitators Program - setting a high standard for quality and consistency across the globe from Africa, Columbia, India, South Africa, Sweden, Switzerland, Japan, and the USA.

Our Change facilitators are equipped with nonviolence skills enhanced by the nonviolent roles and contexts of conflict resolution including:

•Nonviolence Interpersonal Competencies

•Emotional mastery in nonviolence

•Nontoxic Ethical Leadership

One of the graduates An Nguyen says; "The Change Facilitator course has been transformative, elevating not only my proficiency in crafting change programs from the ground up but also enriching my self-awareness and fostering compassion in both personal and professional relationships. The exceptional collaboration with the core team and peers makes the journey remarkable, offering an immersive experience and meaningful real-life learning as we share perspectives and challenge each other to grow."

Non-Violence Graduate William L McClain; “I had the opportunity to take part in the Change Facilitator Certification Program of the Non-Violence Project Foundation. Not only was it an opportunity to become a certified facilitator but it was a personal learning for me of the 35 Non-Violence Skills and their impact on the 4 Non-Violence roles of Victim, Perpetrator, Bystander and Upstander. I was able to self-reflect on different experiences where I assumed one or more of these roles and why I may have assumed that role in a conflict situation. I specifically felt drawn to focus on developing myself in the skills of Empathy and Non-judgement to improve my interactions and play a stronger role as an Upstander. The four-week training was well-designed in providing context, self-reflection activities and confirmation of understanding of key learnings while meeting a great team of trainers and fellow Change Facilitator colleagues.”

At NVPF we continue to push the bar for nonviolence education and initiatives across all domains: academic, corporate, sports, hospitality, and the arts.

Our Non-Violence Change Facilitators are leading the movement to cultivate understanding, build communities of peace, and inspire legions of hope in a world that needs it more than ever...

Dare to Pay it forward – Dare to be the change!
