Workshop: Living in Harmony with our Values in a Profit-Driven World
[Note: I am not affiliated with this workshop, but am a big supporter of Nonviolent Communication (NVC)]
Facilitated by Dr Marshall Rosenberg
Date: 18th, 19th 20th September 2007
Location: Gozo, Malta
As awareness of the need for social transformation increases many individuals and organisations are keen to contribute. Implementing and working through this change can be a painful or progressive process within which words can be windows or walls. All too often we find ourselves in the midst of conflict when our intentions are to create a better world.
This conference will showcase workable ways to cross social, cultural and economic divides without compromise or resentment. This new paradigm promises to provide individuals and organisations with more effective strategies to meet their needs, whilst at the same time positively resolving conflict and making a recognisable contribution to the lives of the people around us.
At the conference we are proposing to work with group of survivors from a concentration camp (who have agreed to participate) and their discussion with the multinational company who have bought the site (who are currently in dialogue with us). Both want to see the site in full usage and reap the benefits employment would bring to the area but they are in conflict about how to preserve the memory of what happened and searching for bodies of over 1000 missing people. The communication around this situation has the potential to heal or harm many people. Our aim is open a dialogue that will meet needs for all involved.
In order to maintain full integrity, we are not accepting corporate sponsorship. Each ticket purchase will make an important financial contribution to ensuring this healing process can go ahead. We need at least 100 people to buy tickets to make this happen. Your attendance can make a vital difference. This message is being sent to a select audience who will recognise this as both a major learning opportunity and a tangible opportunity to contribute to social change.
