I'll be 40 this year (2006), living with my family near Bordeaux, France, and working as an airline pilot on Air France Airbus 340. When I discovered NVC, 4 years ago, it became obvious to me to bring the copyleft tools to NVC network. I then sent a few emails about it (copy of two of them below). During summer 2003, I started a part of http://nvc-europe.org with a copyleft software ( http://spip.net ), and now Fabien Rohrhurst (nvc-europe.org webmaster, data-processing engineer), wants to set the whole french-speaking part under SPIP (a free software under GPL license).

{{proposition|When I see how powerfull is the developpment of networks based on free/open source softwares I would like the same energy at the service of NVC network.

So here is my '''present request''' : that NVC creations be available under the terms of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:GFDL GNU Free Documentation License] [[Image:535px-Heckert GNU white.svg.png|40px]] or [http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.5/ Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 2.5 License] [[Image:Somerights20.png]], as [http://wikipedia.org Wikipedia] [[Image:Wiki.png|40px]] and [http://www.ubuntu.com/community Ubuntu] [[Image:Ubuntu-simple.png|40px]] (for example).'''}}

== How copyleft could contribute to my need of consistency with NVC ? ==
''this is the copy of a mail sent to the CNVC staff on Aug 2002''

Hello to you all!

This evening (15 aug 2002), I shared something precious for me, during a NVC "immersion" training, co-animated by Vilma Costetti, Charlotte Duprez Mourman, Pascale Molho and Marie Louise Sibazuri, near Lyon, France.

I shared it after Pascale's presentation of the CNVC, and she suggested to me to write it down to Gary Baran. (After reflecting it to others, I felt open hearted to give it to Marshall.)
I also give it to the CNVC Webmaster, and to the Idea-Man, because it has to do with computers and great ideas.

:When I see a "'''copyright'''" on NVC documents, I feel puzzled, because I need consistency.
:When I see a "copyright" on a document, it reminds me of the '''protection of a merchandise'''.
:A nice dead merchandise.

I would prefer a "'''copyleft'''": it would remind me, I am recieving a '''living gift'''.
It would remind me it is the result of a '''daily creation''', that began with Marshall's grand-mother, and maybe even before ;-)
More than that: I would feel eager to '''participate''' to this wonderful '''co-creation'''.

My request: would you agree to '''protect NVC creations''' with a "copyleft"?
Whatever is your answer, I would be grateful, if it makes sens for you, to '''share your evolution''' about it.

Dieudonné

PS: In the case you don't know about copyleft, this my perception of it:
:- it permited the creation of GNU/Linux.
:- it protects creations, not only softwares, from the general tendency to merchandise the world.
:You will find plenty of informations about it on the net.

Transcript of role-play

Restorative justice 'conference' between victim and perpetrator of sexual offence

'''Background information'''

In this role-play, Marshall was demonstrating how a facilitator can use NVC to help both victim and perpetrator to reach a point where healing from their respective pain becomes possible.

As facilitator, he made reference to, but did not specify, the request that the victim would be invited to make of the perpetrator. He also recognised all the work the perpetrator might have to do to get in touch with his feelings and needs at the time of the offence, before taking part in the 'conference' with the victim.

Marshall was playing the three roles of:
* Restorative justice facilitator
* Victim of a sexual offence
* Perpetrator of the offence

=== NVC in RJ: outline of the process ===

'''Step 1:''' In advance of the meeting, the facilitator coaches the perpetrator to express himself in terms of feelings and needs and to hear the feelings and needs behind whatever the victim may say. Wherever possible, the facilitator will coach the victim in a similar way.

The amount of coaching needed will vary from one person to another.

'''Step 2:''' The victim articulates the pain that he/she feels in relation to the perpetrator's actions. The perpetrator, with the support of the facilitator, reflects back to the victim all those feelings that are still alive in the victim in relation to the perpetrator's action(s).

In Nonviolent Communication, this is described as giving empathy. This process can take some time but should continue until it is clear that the victim feels satisfaction at being fully understood. Until this happens, we predict that the victim will not be able to hear the perpetrator's feelings and needs, and this will restrict the depth of the healing process.

'''Step 3:''' The perpetrator goes deep inside himself and articulates what he feels in response and his own needs that were not met by his actions.

In Nonviolent Communication, this is described as mourning, and is fundamentally different from any process that encourages the perpetrator to feel guilt or shame.

'''Step 4:''' The perpetrator says what was going on in him when he did what he did, that is, the feelings and needs that led him to act in this way.

This is very different from explaining or justifying what he did: for example, 'because I was abused as a child'.

The victim reflects back to the perpetrator the feelings and needs that were alive in the perpetrator that led him to act as he did.

In other words, the victim gives the perpetrator empathy.
Step 4 provides the foundation for further restorative work with the perpetrator: it can help the perpetrator to find new, more constructive ways of meeting his needs in the future.

'''Step 5:''' The victim and perpetrator make specific requests of each other.

We believe it is vital for the facilitator to check whether either party needs to do this in order to complete the healing process.

This cycle of empathy and understanding for the victim's pain, mourning for the perpetrator's actions and understanding how the perpetrator came to do it, maximises the chance of healing taking place for both parties.

=== Transcript ===

My preference is, if we have the opportunity, to get victim and offender together.

Let's say the victim is a woman who has been raped. There are two ingredients: expressing from the heart, and empathy. Here's how it's going to look. The first thing I'm going to do is get the perpetrator to empathically connect with what's alive in the victim. I give the victim a chance to express herself and get empathy from the perpetrator.

Most of the time, when people think they want to punish somebody, I think the 'need' behind it - punishment - is a strategy not a need. I think one of their needs is that they want the other person to know how they suffered. But where in our society do we ever see that happen? The only thing that people can think of is just to be victimised - and nothing happens - or punishment. Those are the only two options that we see. I've yet to see any victim who's gone through what I'm going to demonstrate now that afterwards would rather have seen the other person punished. The victims all they want very often is to see the other person suffer.

Here's what I'm going to do. I'm going to start by helping this perpetrator to empathise with the person who he raped. (NB: this corresponds to Step 2)

Victim: Do you know what it was like to be held down and have this happen to you? Do you know how much I suffered? How horrible that is? You monster, you ass hole. I'd like to see you dead.

Facilitator to perpetrator: I want you to connect with what she saying. What is she feeling right now?

Perpetrator: I'm sorry.

Facilitator to perpetrator: No apologies. Apologies are too cheap. I want you to tell her what you heard her say she's feeling.

(Pause)

Facilitator to perpetrator I'm going to tell you what I heard, and then I want you to repeat it.

Facilitator to victim: If I heard you correctly, you've got a whole bunch of feelings. You feel rage that anything like this could happen to you and you want some understanding also for how frightened you were to have this happen to you.

Victim: Not only that, but it's two years ago and there's not a day in my life when I don't live my life without suffering.

Facilitator to victim: So in addition to that, you want some understanding for the amount of suffering that goes on every day, for the fear that stays in you.

Victim: Yes

Facilitator to perpetrator: OK. Say back what you heard her feeling. What is she feeling and needing? (Pause) You want me to say it again?

Perpetrator: No, let me try. (Addressing victim) You think I'm a monster.

Facilitator to perpetrator: That's the easy part. I want you to hear her feelings and needs. What feelings and needs is she expressing to you?

Perpetrator: She's furious. She wants me to know what it was like to be forced to have sex, and to be held down.

Facilitator to perpetrator: What else?

Perpetrator: I don't know

Facilitator to perpetrator: Let me tell you what else I hear her say. She wants you to hear how terrified she was and how that terror stays with her and she hasn't had a day free of pain since then. Say it back.

Perpetrator: She was terrified then, and she's been terrified every day since then.

Facilitator to victim: Is this what you want you wanted him to hear?

Victim: More than that, more than that.

OK, so we go on for a while. This pain can be very deep, so I help the perpetrator hear that. That's the first step. Until this person feels fully understood.

Facilitator to victim: Do you feel understood?

Victim: Yes.

Now the next thing I'm going to do is help the perpetrator mourn - not apologise, mourn. Mourning requires going deep into yourself. Apology is cheap. It's easy to say you're sorry, but what does that mean? People have learned since the time they've been a child that you say that just to get forgiven. There need be no sincerity in it, no real feeling in it. But in what we call mourning, we want this person to go deep inside. (NB: this corresponds to Step 3)

Facilitator to perpetrator: So tell her what you feel right now, hearing what she's gone through.

Perpetrator: I think I should be punished.

Facilitator: Not what you think should happen to you - what you feel right now.

Perpetrator: I feel like I'm an asshole.

Facilitator: Calling you names isn't the answer. I want you to go inside and tell me how you feel.

Perpetrator: Don't make me do that.

Facilitator: It's terrifying to go inside and really see how it feels to do something like this. It's so much easier to call yourself a name. Or to say she asked for it, or to justify yourself. That's easy, but to go inside after you've seen how the other person has suffered. To go inside and to really express how you feel - it's scary. So I want you to go inside and tell me how you feel now that you see how she's suffered.

Perpetrator: I feel sad. I feel sad.

Facilitator: What needs of yours were not met by your behaviour?

Perpetrator: That's not how I want to treat people, man. That's not how I want to treat people.

OK, that's what we call mourning. I'm shortening the process, but that's mourning: going inside and really looking at how you feel about what you've done. And connecting it to needs of yours - your own - that weren't met by your own actions. That's far scarier but more sincere than an apology.

(NB: This next part corresponds to Step 4 in the summary above.)

Facilitator to Perpetrator: Now I want you to tell her what was going on in you when you did it. What were you feeling when you did it. What needs of yours were you trying to meet when you did it?

Now it's interesting how in this part, the victim, before I even ask for it, after they get the understanding for their suffering, almost always they're screaming something like this: How could you do it? How could you do it?

For healing to take place, there first needs to be the original empathy, the understanding, but then we also need to know 'how could this person do it?'. Because until we can really understand the other person and see why they did what they did, we can't forgive them and we can't heal until we can forgive them.

Now in NVC empathy and forgiveness are the same thing. When we empathise, there's nothing to forgive. But we also stress in our work: don't go too quickly to getting the victim to understand the other person. Almost from the very beginning, some people in their lives have been encouraging them to forgive, to understand the other person. And if they do that before the first part, before they get fully understood for their suffering, the understanding they give to the other person can only be superficial. And it cuts their own healing. But when they've had the understanding they need, they are usually hungry to understand what could have been going on in the other person when they did what they did.

Facilitator to perpetrator: So I want you to tell her now what was going on in you at the moment you were doing this. What was going on?

And now I help the prisoner to identify and articulate what feelings and needs were alive in him when he did it. And then I ask the victim to empathise with that, to tell me back what she hears was going on in him when he did it. What was he feeling? What was he needing?

When that happens, it's amazing the transformation that has occurred. These two people at that point are joined in a way that's going to make the next step much easier. The next step is now the restorative process. What in addition is needed for both parties to feel healed in this? And that's simply a matter of what request do you have of one another now?

So that's a quick overview of how we do restorative justice using NVC.

Question from the audience: What is the difference between an apology and mourning?

Here's what the person always wants to do:

Perpetrator: 'I'm sorry, I'm an asshole. Kill me.'

Facilitator: 'That's what I call an apology - saying 'I'm wrong, I deserve to suffer'. That's how people have been educated. How long have you thought you were an asshole?

Perpetrator: 'My whole life.'

Facilitator: 'Has that kept you from doing this?

Perpetrator: 'No'.

Facilitator: 'It's not what I'm asking you - how you think you are. I want to know how you feel. How do you feel?'

Perpetrator: 'I'm sorry'

Facilitator: 'No, that word doesn't tell me anything. You've probably been saying you're sorry for everything you've done. You've probably been educated to do that by rote. If somebody thinks you're wrong, you say you're sorry and then you're forgiven. No, that's too cheap. I want you to go inside and really tell me how you feel now that you see who's suffering.'

Almost always, they say 'don't make me do that'. It's painful to go inside and really see how painful it is to have done things to another person. It's not shame. The shame comes by self-violence - by thinking that what you did was wrong. That's too easy. Shame is too superficial. And it's a form of violence towards self. I want this person to go in and suffer naturally but deeply. It's a natural feeling when we see that we have done something that didn't serve life. We have strong feelings but never shame or guilt. The feelings are often a deep sadness. A deep despair. A deep fear. Very often it's: 'I'm scared to death to think I could have done something like that to someone.' Deep, deep feelings. But not shame, guilt.

Shame and guilt come about through self violence. Thinking that what you did means there's something wrong with you.

Perpetrator: 'But there is something wrong with me, man. Look what I did to her'.

Facilitator: 'We're going to get later to why you did it. It's too easy to think there's something wrong with you. I want you to go inside now and tell me how you feel about having done it. I don't want to hear you judge yourself. Judging yourself is only going to make you more violent. I want you to mourn, I don't want you to apologise.'

And then after the mourning, we go inside and then we empathise with the reasons why the person did it. You see, the reason a person does this is always to meet a human need or one or more needs.

Now, very often in the work we do in prisons, we don't have the victims available. So I play the role of the victim, and the work we do with the prisoner is to get them to empathise with their victims, to role-play - so we go through the process even when we don't have access to the victims. But we want them to empathise with the suffering created by their acts. We want them to mourn it and then we want them to forgive themselves by empathising fully with what needs of theirs they were trying to meet by doing that. It doesn't justify the behaviour. It just means that when they can see the good reasons why they did it - the good reasons mean they were trying the best they knew how to meet human needs. Then we can start trying to find other ways of meeting those needs that don't violate other people.

== Dominic Barter and Restorative Justice in Brazil ==

Dominic Barter, CNVC Restorative Justice Project coordinator, has been developing Restorative practices in Brazil since the mid 90's. Since 2005 his Restorative Circles process has been at the centre of the Brazilian Ministry of Justice pilot projects in Restorative Justice.

Introduced in high schools, youth courts, youth prisons, municipal shelters, police departments and in local communities the Circles have brought about a profound paradigm change in the way justice is done - creating healing and security where conflict and crime had brought division and fear.

In the last three years RC have been shared in 11 countries and projects are underway in families, courts, prisons, schools and communities

Restorative Circles are deeply aligned with the principles and practice of Nonviolent Communication, creating shared power and engaging with the underlying meaning in conflict and crime in order to produce measurable acts that heal and connect.
The Circles bring together the three parties involved in painful acts: those who committed the act, those who bore its brunt, and those who form the community of those indirectly impacted.

Using a needs-based dialogue process the participants are invited to recover the ability to understand each other, to learn from what happened, and to make a specific plan for the future, designed to bring benefit to all and change in the social conditions in which the conflict arose.
More than a methodology, Restorative Circles are the centrepiece of a systemic response to community safety which bring nonviolence into public life in a tangible, constructive form.

== Basic description ==

"A Restorative Circle is a community process for supporting those in conflict. It brings together the three parties to a conflict – those who have acted, those directly impacted and the wider community – within a chosen systemic context, to dialogue as equals. Participants invite each other and attend voluntarily. The dialogue process used is shared openly with all participants. The process ends when actions have been found that bring mutual benefit that nurtures the inherent integrity of all those involved in the conflict.

Restorative Circles are facilitated in 3 stages that arise in an approximate sequence and identity the key factors in the conflict, reach agreements on next steps, and evaluate the results. As a circle form, they invite shared power, mutual understanding and self-responsibility within community.

Restorative Circles are facilitated by community members who identify themselves as impacted by the conflict at hand. They commit to serving the emergent wisdom of the participants through their willingness to offer agreed upon questions and to track the co-creation of meaning and action by those present." - Dominic Barter

The process ends when actions have been found that bring mutual benefit that nurtures the inherent integrity of all those involved in the conflict.

Restorative Circles are facilitated in 3 stages that arise in an approximate sequence and identity the key factors in the conflict, reach agreements on next steps, and evaluate the results. As a circle form, they invite shared power, mutual understanding and self-responsibility within community.

Restorative Circles are facilitated by community members who identify themselves as impacted by the conflict at hand. They commit to serving the emergent wisdom of the participants through their willingness to offer agreed upon questions and to track the co-creation of meaning and action by those present." - Dominic Barter

'''About us GSC: Global service circle''' runs this website and supports global connection

<big><big>'''GLOBAL SERVICE CIRCLE - example draft OF Vision, Mission and Activities'''</big></big> 

'''VISION'''
 
 

* The global service circle of the Nonviolent Communication network is dedicated to helping create a world in which the needs* of all are 
recognised and taken account of, and where people support each other to connect courageously and compassionately. 
 
 

* We want to be part of a thriving network which is communicating across language groups and between continents, starting initiatives that support 
compassion, connection and the meeting of universal needs worldwide. 
 
 

* We long to see online resources that make it easy for people to find what they need, especially if they are newcomers to NVC, or in a country where 
NVC is just gettying started, or speak a language with fewer translated materials. 
 
 

* We long to see the network globally able to communicate with itself in a way that supports productive synergies, celebration and, when needed, mourning. 
 
 
 

'''MISSION'''

* We work to create a quality of connection between ourselves and others where this is more likely.
 

* We support people who are interested in Nonviolent Communication to connect with others, and with useful resources.
 

* We try hard to connect up parts of our network which speak different languages. 
 
 

'''ACTIVITIES'''

* We maintain this signposting web site, which intends to be something like a multilingual "travellers guide" to all elements of the global Nonviolent Communication network.

* We may help the organisations listed in Information section B2 network with each other, if requested.

* We resist taking on other roles, so that we can perform these three roles effectively and to a high quality standard, and not get burnt out from stress.

* We regret we are unable to respond to individual queries at the moment, but many of the organisations listed in section B2 are able to do so. 

 * We define needs as "what all humans must have at some time in order to be healthy, happy and fulfilled". We include the need to contribute to the well-being of others, needs for respect/justice/autonomy/freedom/growth, needs for food/movement warmth/a clean environment, and needs for love/community/relationship. We draw on the work of Marshall Rosenberg for our understanding of needs, and some of us refer also to Manfred Max-Neef and Abraham Maslow to inform our definition of needs.

Dieudo: /* Other similar examples */ new section

== Basic architecture ==

I wonder if the basic architecture of our site should be like the multilingual home page of www.wikipedia.org?

--RayTaylor 16:49, 10 August 2010

I like the idea of taking advantage of efficient examples. Wikipedia is one for me ;-)

''To sign your posts, use this button : [[File:Button sig.png]], in the edit bar.''

--[[User:Dieudo|Dieudonné]] 08:52, 11 August 2010 (UTC)

Wait! I had a better idea, inspired by Google and "Don't Panic!" in the hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy.
It seems to me that people are looking to the NVC internet either for empathy or information. So perhaps
we should simply have

(a) choose your language

(b) choose between EMPATHY or INFORMATION

(c) when you click through to either, you get a range of options signposted
(Empathy hotline, EmpathyNow, trainers/supporters .... ) or (wiki, network etc)

-- [[User:RayTaylor|Ray Taylor]] 10:37, 11 August 2010

Why not ? What I like with the Wikipedia-style approach is that we don't know in advance what the user group will choose. When we set up a wiki I see it a bit like a facilitator setting up a Restorative System. Users will then choose while using the wiki as a Restorative Circle, what action-plan they will want to put their energy in. Maybe Two big entries : EMPATHY and INFORMATION, or maybe something else ;-)

I like the idea that like in RS, one of the key initial feature is “shared power” (like in a wiki where everybody can edit pages), then wee don't know in advance where the collective intelligence of the group will lead its path.

Did you see how to sign your posts ? ''To sign your posts, use this button : [[File:Button sig.png]], in the edit bar.'' I added your signature to your posts to help readers understand it's a dialogue ;-)

== Cooping with some difficulties ==

Here are some questions and answers about some difficulties.

=== Joining within limits ===

; Question - how's this :
: Anybody wanting the join his forces to this project is welcome, within limits: we would ask that people take care before doing major edits and many edits, that they introduce themselves to the existing group HERE, and understand that they are initially accepted for a provisional month, during which time we would like them to demonstrate their ability to work peacefully and collaboratively, with give and take and care.

; -> Answer
: I guess Dominic's experience about how to include newcomers into a Restorative Circle will be very helpful ;-) Isn't it Dominic ? --[[User:Dieudo|Dieudonné]] 09:17, 11 August 2010 (UTC)

=== Wiki syntax ===

; Question - how can we …
: … create new paragraphs/pages for ongoing discussion, and can you/I create a paragraph to introduce the existing members of this group?

; -> Answer :
:* About how to create paragraphs/pages, you might find answers on the [[Help:Contents]] page (called ''Help'' in the left column).
:* About your ability to create paragraphs : “code is law” ! If you can, why not ;-) --[[User:Dieudo|Dieudonné]] 09:17, 11 August 2010 (UTC)

; Question - about help
: is there a "how to use this wiki and how to add info/discussion" link?

; -> Answer :
:* About "how to use this wiki", see [[Help:Contents]] page
:* About "how to add info/discussion" link, if you don't find the answer in the [[Help:Contents]] page, You can ask for it in the associated discussion tab :-) --[[User:Dieudo|Dieudonné]] 09:17, 11 August 2010 (UTC)

== Follow edits ==

Hello Ray,

to help dialogue on this page it's very helpful to set a way to be advised when it has been edited by someone else.

Did you do find a way for this page ? By email or RSS ?

Did you find the button to sign your posts ([[File:Insert-signature.png]] 6th button in the editbar) ?

--[[User:Dieudo|Dieudonné]] 13:47, 25 September 2010 (CEST)

== Other similar examples ==

Hello Ray,

since we had a chat on skype where we found example of common inspiring websites like :
* http://planet.ubuntu-fr.org/
* http://www.ubuntu.com/community

I have a better view on your project. The spirit of it is for me very much in link with the tools we choose. Like this Gandhi's quote suggests :
: ''“La fin est dans les moyens comme l'arbre est dans la semence”
I guess this is the english version of this quote :
: ''“The means may be likened to a seed, the end to a tree; and there is just the same inviolable connection between the means and the end as there is between the seed and the tree.”

So this is why I feel not so good about advertising Facebook.

Dieudo: Internal link to Who would work on this

== Web group ==

There was recently (July 2010) a GCC call about setting up
a global NVC website.

One possibility would be to use the existing wikis
as the basis of a multilingual website.

The main idea is to put in front (this page) what we agree on (at the beginning it might only be what we guess we agree on !). And put the rest on the associated discussion page. It remains possible to receive email notifications about changes on theses pages.

Anybody wanting the join his forces to this project is welcome, within limits: we would ask that people take care before doing major edits and many edits, that they introduce themselves to the existing group '''[[#Who would work on this|HERE]]''', and understand that they are initially accepted for a provisional month during which we would like them to demonstrate their ability to work peacefully and collaboratively.

== NVC wiki, the basis for a global, multilingual NVC website ==

Ray, you just wrote : « Here we try to agree on whether we want the NVC wiki to be the basis for a global, multilingual NVC website ».

But isn't it allready the case ?

Or maybe you meant opening it to more languages ?

--[[User:Dieudo|Dieudonné]] 10:42, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

Yes more languages - but mainly what I'm thinking about is the landing page:

should it be like www.wikipedia.org , where the first
thing you choose is your language / or translation method

or more likely a simple choice between empathy channel or information
channel

Dieudo: one of the key initial feature is “shared power”

== Basic architecture ==

I wonder if the basic architecture of our site should be like the multilingual home page of www.wikipedia.org?

--RayTaylor 16:49, 10 August 2010

I like the idea of taking advantage of efficient examples. Wikipedia is one for me ;-)

''To sign your posts, use this button : [[File:Button sig.png]], in the edit bar.''

--[[User:Dieudo|Dieudonné]] 08:52, 11 August 2010 (UTC)

Wait! I had a better idea, inspired by Google and "Don't Panic!" in the hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy.
It seems to me that people are looking to the NVC internet either for empathy or information. So perhaps
we should simply have

(a) choose your language

(b) choose between EMPATHY or INFORMATION

(c) when you click through to either, you get a range of options signposted
(Empathy hotline, EmpathyNow, trainers/supporters .... ) or (wiki, network etc)

-- [[User:RayTaylor|Ray Taylor]] 10:37, 11 August 2010

Why not ? What I like with the Wikipedia-style approach is that we don't know in advance what the user group will choose. When we set up a wiki I see it a bit like a facilitator setting up a Restorative System. Users will then choose while using the wiki as a Restorative Circle, what action-plan they will want to put their energy in. Maybe Two big entries : EMPATHY and INFORMATION, or maybe something else ;-)

I like the idea that like in RS, one of the key initial feature is “shared power” (like in a wiki where everybody can edit pages), then wee don't know in advance where the collective intelligence of the group will lead its path.

Did you see how to sign your posts ? ''To sign your posts, use this button : [[File:Button sig.png]], in the edit bar.''

== Cooping with some difficulties ==

Here are some questions and answers about some difficulties.

=== Joining within limits ===

; Question - how's this :
: Anybody wanting the join his forces to this project is welcome, within limits: we would ask that people take care before doing major edits and many edits, that they introduce themselves to the existing group HERE, and understand that they are initially accepted for a provisional month, during which time we would like them to demonstrate their ability to work peacefully and collaboratively, with give and take and care.

; -> Answer
: I guess Dominic's experience about how to include newcomers into a Restorative Circle will be very helpful ;-) Isn't it Dominic ? --[[User:Dieudo|Dieudonné]] 09:17, 11 August 2010 (UTC)

=== Wiki syntax ===

; Question - how can we …
: … create new paragraphs/pages for ongoing discussion, and can you/I create a paragraph to introduce the existing members of this group?

; -> Answer :
:* About how to create paragraphs/pages, you might find answers on the [[Help:Contents]] page (called ''Help'' in the left column).
:* About your ability to create paragraphs : “code is law” ! If you can, why not ;-) --[[User:Dieudo|Dieudonné]] 09:17, 11 August 2010 (UTC)

; Question - about help
: is there a "how to use this wiki and how to add info/discussion" link?

; -> Answer :
:* About "how to use this wiki", see [[Help:Contents]] page
:* About "how to add info/discussion" link, if you don't find the answer in the [[Help:Contents]] page, You can ask for it in the associated discussion tab :-) --[[User:Dieudo|Dieudonné]] 09:17, 11 August 2010 (UTC)

Global NVC website

2010-08-10T16:43:08Z

Dieudo: /* First call summary */ wiki syntaxe

== Web group ==

There was recently (July 2010) a GCC call about setting up
a global NVC website.

One possibility would be to use the existing wikis
as the basis of a multilingual website.

Would you like to be part of this conversation ?

Anybody wanting the join his forces to this project is welcome. The main idea is to put in front (this page) what we agree on (at the beginning it might only be what we guess we agree on !). And put the rest on the associated discussion page. It remains possible to receive email notifications about changes on theses pages.

=== First call summary ===

# Simple phase 1 and then celebration
# News/knowledge site
# Beautiful basic structure
# No/little new content creation - drawing on existing sites
# Possible elements:
:* landing page with language options
:* signposts/Lonely Planet guide to major elements of the network
:* network news translated
:* trainers operating in Africa, past present and future + how to contact
:* NVC chat/empathy service on the site,
:* resources (eg how to write a press release, how to start a group)
:* searches by topic or category or geography
:* Jeff has lots of links
:* NVCwiki integrated

=== Who would work on this ===

RAY - content + languages + language groups

PAN - yes - drupal, time zones and languages

JEFF - yes, searching for relevant content to link to

JOACHIM - maybe reviewing things, limited energy; partner interested
in e-learning

DIEUDONNÉ - taking care (webmaster); loving to transmitt the efficiency
of the shared power a community can devellop through the wiki-type
approach

NOAM - interested to help out. Want first to investigate english
nvcwik to make this effort efficient. Want NVChotline to be part of
this effort, as an online connection tool for nvc people. Am software
engineer.

***

=== Next steps ===

Ray proposes Ray to talk to Pan about language and time aspects

First content: basic signposting

Pan proposes a write up off these notes and a review of technology

Jeff says "send notes to all GCC telecon group"
agreed Pan and Ray will do this

Research

Pan - web architecture

Ray - language software

Pan and Ray make initial proposals and share with
Noam and Joachim.

Signposting

Everybody to send ideas for what resources should be signposted on
the global site - ideas to be sent to Ray

Next call second week of september (Jeff commits to organize)

Dear Valentina, Margo, Gail, Stefan, Marshall

This weekend in Paris, the French Association for the NVC (ACNV) organized a party (for the second consecutive year). Last year, it was under the sign of India. This year it was Africa. In the afternoon, two hundred people attended workshops, met, have purchased books.

That evening we had the pleasure of welcoming friends of the Africa Circle.

Emmanuel Ndindiye, Marie-Louise Sibazuri, Jean-Baptiste Ndikuriyo, Leandre Simbananye, Pierre Muanda held conference, led by a journalist Malika Elkord, then there was an African meal and then our five friends with the woman of Emmanuel, Marie-Françoise, and two girls Marie-Josiane and Athera, showed a traditional dance, Pierre sang with his guitar, Marie-Louise gave a tale, an enjoyment and popular dances shared with 150 persons come in the evening.

It was a very happy time of communion with what lives in NVC in Burundi and Democratic Republic of the Congo (RDC), a party with as title: '''So much variety, the same humanity''', borrowed from a book published by Vilma Costetti.
While meeting within the circle of the French-speaking regions Pierre, Jean-Baptiste, Dieudonné and François had this idea of common party.

We took that very evening the resolution to send you a message to share our enjoyment and associate you to it. We so want to enrich the links in the NVC network and in particular with you.
