The main aim of the project was to improve the competences of youth workers in the field of communication. We wanted to provide a high level training course that combines Nonviolent Communication with Contact Improvisation and to create a new formula to teach empathy. The program was highly appreciated by the participants and the evaluation proved that all the objectives were met. The objectives were: - Promote empathy as an important factor of youth development - Introduce the model of Non Violent Communication and provide tools for practising the method - Improve communication skills of youth workers that can enhance empathic connections with youngsters; - Provide tools for raising emotional awareness and well-being through methods inspired by Mindfulness, Somatic Movement Education and Contact Improvisation; PERFORM organisation provides a lot of workshops using movement, dance and body awareness as tools for increasing well-being, self-awareness and empathy. The objective for our organisation was to create a new formula that could be easily implemented into many local workshops and school activities. Thanks to this project we started the cooperation with NVC centre in Poland and we are working on new projects for different target groups. One in particular will be devoted to dance teachers to introduce them to Nonviolent Communication and develop new approaches to working with the body based on NVC methodology. All partner organisations wanted to improve the competencies of the youth workers in the field of communication and learn how to promote and teach empathy to young people. The program was designed and delivered the way that all partners were satisfied and follow-up actions were met with enthusiasm.
