Roxy Manning, Certified NVC Trainer:

In this excerpt from Roxy Manning's 2019 Social Change session at the NVCfest, she explores the application of Nonviolent Communication (NVC) to address both immediate conflicts and broader systemic issues. She emphasizes the importance of intervening at multiple levels, from stopping harmful behavior in the moment to driving long-term societal change. The discussion highlights how NVC, combined with the principles of nonviolence, can guide us in creating protective actions, fostering inclusive dialogues, and making systemic decisions that consider the needs of all impacted communities.
