Nonviolent Communication (NVC)

Vega is a facilitator of Nonviolent Communication, a “language of compassion” focused on deep listening and deep awareness of what we perceive, feel, and need.

Elvira grew up between two worlds: the pristine lakes and snowy alps of Germany, and the red soil and Palmyra trees of Auroville. As a teenager, she became interested in leadership and the transformation of conflict into positive change.

The Auroville Gap Year Programme (AGYP) was designed by Auroville Campus Initiative (ACI) to provide a learning platform to the youth of Auroville between the ages of 17 and 30.

Restorative Circles, a system of conflict resolution which is based on the principles of Nonviolent Communication, is proposed to become part of Auroville’s Conflict Resolution Policy.
