== '''NVCglobal''' - a website which helps anyone in the world connect to NVC resources ''in their own languages'' ==
 
 
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.
 
 
 
=== 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

'''VISION''' 
 +
<br />
 +
<br />
 +
 +
* The global service circle of the Nonviolent Communication network is dedicated to helping create a world in which the needs* of all are  <br />
 +
recognised and taken account of, and where people support each other to connect courageously and compassionately.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
<br />
 +
 +
* We want to be part of a thriving network which is communicating  across language groups and between continents, starting  initiatives that support <br />
 +
compassion, connection and the meeting of  universal needs worldwide.  <br />
 +
<br />
 +
<br />
 +
 +
* 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 <br />
 +
NVC is just gettying started, or speak a language with fewer  translated materials.  <br />
 +
<br />
 +
<br />
 +
 +
* We long to see the network globally able to communicate with itself in  a way that supports productive synergies, celebration and, when needed,  mourning.  <br />  <br />
 +
<br />
 +
<br />
 +
<br />
 +
 +
'''MISSION''' 
 +
 +
* We work to create a quality of connection between ourselves and others  where this is more likely. 
 +
<br />
 +
 +
* We support people who are interested in Nonviolent Communication to  connect with others, and with useful resources. 
 +
<br />
 +
 +
* We try hard to connect up parts of our network which speak different languages.  <br />  <br />
 
<br />
 
<br />
 
<br />
 
<br />
  
 +
'''ACTIVITIES''' 
 +
 +
* We maintain this signposting web site, which intends to be something like <br /> a multilingual "travellers guide" to all elements of the global Nonviolent <br /> Communication network. 
  
[[File:Happiness.jpg|0|caption]]
+
* We may help the organisations listed in Information section B2 network with<br /> each other, if requested. 
 +
 
 +
* We resist taking on other roles, so that we can perform these three roles<br /> 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<br /> many of the organisations listed in section B2 are able to do so. <br /> <br />
 +
 
 +
<br /> * 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.

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

GLOBAL SERVICE CIRCLE - example draft OF Vision, Mission and Activities 

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.
