Workshop: Nonviolent Communication

What is the difference between our everyday communication and the much-cited Nonviolent Communication? Whether at the entry to a club, the bar, among party guests, or within the team: Why do we find it so difficult to remain calm and keep an overview in conflict and stressful situations? How can we express our displeasure and still remain cooperative and open to our counterpart? How can we make small changes in our communication to remain open, calm, and responsive in stressful situations and conflicts?

In this workshop, you will learn about the complexity of interpersonal communication, the pitfalls we encounter in everyday language, what appreciation in communication means to us, and how it can help us to significantly facilitate our cooperation.
Self-awareness is an essential part of this learning process. This ensures that no superficial patent solutions for a better social image are taken away, but that successful communication and conflict resolution are practiced.

In addition to basic information, the workshop offers sufficient space for participants to try out and practice what they have learned. Participants will also have the opportunity to bring and discuss their own club-specific cases and examples.

The target audience is anyone employed in the nightlife/party setting as well as people who actively participate in nightlife.

The workshop will be led by Sophie Kalau, psychologist and trainer in Nonviolent Communication. Sophie's work is characterized by a sensitive approach to the topics of anti-discrimination, diversity work, and empowerment.

The two-day free workshop is limited to a maximum of 14 participants, will be held in English, and will take place on site at the Clubcommission premises.

Wednesday and Thursday, March 16 and 17, 2021, from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. each day.
