| |
| − | # Offered by the Purpose Work Group, consented Dec 14, 2015
| |
| − | # A few specific aspects of the Integrated Plan
| |
| − | # Two ways of joining
| |
| − | # • 1) as a Member of the NVC-O Community, which provides access to all resources on our new virtual home and an opportunity to belong to a larger whole with a purpose related to increasing the role of NVC in the world.
| |
| − | # 2) as a Partner in NVC-O, which, in addition, entails a commitment to service in support of the NVC-O Community and in support of the world. Partners participate in decision-making:
| |
| − | # • individually through the advice process as it relates to their own work;
| |
| − | # • as part of groups reaching collaborative decisions as needed;
| |
| − | # • through direct or indirect selection of people to serve on the Global Council.
| |
| − | # •
| |
| − | # Community
| |
| − | # There are two main changes here.
| |
| − | # 1) The NVC-O Community is likely to now have more of a sense of being a whole, having its own Vision, Purpose, and Mission and a structure that allows a formal and specific connection with NVC-O.
| |
| − | # 2) Members will have more capacity to find and relate to each other.
| |
| − | # Changes Regarding Certification
| |
| − | # • Recognized roles are no longer just limited to “CNVC certified trainer.” Instead, they include “NVC Practitioner” and “NVC Ambassador” in a variety of fields.
| |
| − | # • Recognized Roles are determined based on self-reflection and feedback from Recognized Roles Weave members rather than feedback from a sole assessor.
| |
| − | # • Weaves co-create systems that support on- going growth, learning, and feedback.
| |
| − | # • Power and privilege training and awareness is part of the path to Recognized Roles.
| |
| − | # Changes Regarding Training (IITs and other Learning Events)
| |
| − | # • NVC-O sponsors International Intensive Trainings, Facilitated Learning Gatherings and Self-Organized NVC Gatherings.
| |
| − | # • Learnings from all events are carefully harvested and considered when preparing new events.
| |
| − | # • Lots of care and consideration given to reinventing IITs so that they fully adapt to local cultures and values.
| |
| − | # • Greater variety of “official” offerings that support more collaboration, adapt to more learning styles, and allow for more contribution
| |
| − | # • Ongoing feedback and evolution are integral to the process
| |
| − | # • NVC is made more relevant to multiple cultures and contexts
| |
| − | # Social Change and Peacebuilding
| |
| − | # Training Exchange
| |
| − | # Allies
| |
| − | # Sharing Projects
| |
| − | # Consciousness
| |
| − | # Funding Exchange
| |
| − | # Featured Projects
| |
| − | # Open Forum
| |
| − | # Creating Access
| |
| − | # • A major explicit commitment to creating access and to attending to issues of power, privilege, and resource disparity.
| |
| − | # • Specific operational agreements are included in this plan so as to ensure that the commitment is anchored structurally.
| |
| − | # • Mechanisms are built-in for training and learning in this area to become more integrated through the Recognized Roles system.
| |
| − | # Resources
| |
| − | # • Resources flow in multiple directions
| |
| − | # • Full transparency of resource generation and
| |
| − | # allocation within NVC-O
| |
| − | # • Possibility for Partners to participate in decisions
| |
| − | # related to resources
| |
| − | # • Projects can operate without waiting for a central
| |
| − | # authority to fund them
| |
