- Effectiveness
- Our Hope
- We want the organisation
- at the heart of the NVC movement to reflect and be a living laboratory for the full radical potential
- of the paradigm implicit in Nonviolent Communication
- We are choosing to create
- a structure that aims to embody, in full, the structural assumption of the interdependence of all things.
- The plan begins at the most inclusive level:
- the Netweb
- The overall structure of the NVC Community and Organisation, serving all who are connected to Nonviolent Communication
- The Netweb
- structure has two primary elements within it
- The Community The Organisation
- The Netweb
- This Netweb is created by connecting all the different points within it together
- The Shared Vision of our Community and Organisation
- We envision a world
- where systems, cultures and individuals support the wellbeing and empowerment of all people,
- with care for past, present, and future life.

- Hundreds of Thousands of people enjoy a more wonderful life because of Marshall’s gift of
- Nonviolent Communication.
- Together, we form the Community
- The entire collection of individuals that are
- coming together within the Netweb.
- The Purpose of our Community
- Our Purpose is
- to be a network that lives and radiates interdependence and compassion.
- Our Community shares
- a Virtual Home and Vision with the Organisation and offers its own purpose and mission
- to all members
- The Mission of our Community
- We are an informal community spread across the world, dedicated to supporting Members of our Community and individuals and organisations beyond that Community in creating a world that works for all. We...
- CONNECT: by actively reaching out to individuals and organisations and supporting them to learn and integrate NVC principles and practices;
- SUPPORT: each other through empathic presence, authenticity and connection; DEVELOP: principles and invent practices through hands-on work in different contexts and cultures that contribute to the creation of a world that works for all;. MODEL: Nonviolent Communication principles and practices as individuals, in our interactions with others, and in the groups and organisations that we work in and with;
- INSPIRE: others to consider looking at NVC principles and practices as a tool that could enrich their lives;
- INITIATE: and organise events that nourish, celebrate and expand our Community; PROVIDE: input for the Organisation by harvesting the wisdom and knowledge generated within the Community.
- Each person in our Community is like a cell, an integral and necessary
- part of the whole,
- the Netweb
- Individuals become Members of our Community because: -they are inspired by our shared Vision;
- -they are inspired by and long to learn and integrate the values, behavior and communication styles identified by our Organisation as being in alignment with our shared Vision.
- Members of our Community can choose to become part of our Organisation
- by becoming a Partner
- Our Partners
- The Partners make up
- “the Organisation”.
- As a placeholder, in this document we will refer to the organisation as NVC-O
- The new structure organises the global NVC network in a different way that retains the existing functions and organisational forms of the community
- while creating a formal and stronger tie between the Community and Organisation.
- NVC-O
- A formal entity registered outside the US (possibly in multiple locations including the US) featuring:
- an unlimited number of Partners. self-selected based on rigorous criteria of contribution and service
- a shared vision
- a clear purpose and mission agreements to function in certain ways a virtual home

- The Purpose of Our Organisation
- We dedicate ourselves to the well being and empowerment of all by applying and sharing Nonviolent Communication principles and practices with individuals and within systems and cultures.
- Our structure is like a fabric woven from many strands of fiber. Each point or node in the Netweb is called a Weave.
- Weave
- the smallest unit of self-organiszing within the Netweb, composed of up to 12 individuals.
- Types of Weaves
- Community
- form when at least 2 Members come
- together with a shared purpose
- may come together based on geographic location, common interest, function, focus, or project
- Oranisational
- Community Weaves come together for a variety of purposes, including:
- -supporting each other’s learning, growth, healing, and transformation (e.g. practice groups) -sharing NVC with others (e.g. DACH or BayNVC)
- There is no expectation or any explicit agreement or commitment to contribute to the Organisation; it is only individual Community Weaves who choose for themselves if there are ways they want to contribute.
- Community Weaves are encouraged to have a minimum of 1/12 of those participating be Partners as a way to maintain a close link with NVC-O for the purpose of supporting (global) connection and coordination;
- Links between Partners involved with Community Weaves also support:
- • more effective and informed contribution;
- • mutual learning and support;
- • flow of information back to NVC-O about what
- is happening in our Community and the ideas and activities that are flourishing there.
- The knowledge and experience gathered in the our Community feeds back into NVC-O through the Weave structure.
- Community Organisation Leadership
- and feeds back to the Community in mutual education
- Community Organisation Leadership
- Cluster
- A structural unit within NVC-O organizing weaves into nine primary groups
- Nine Theme Clusters
- Community Interface
- NVC Evolution and Innovation Projects
- Applications Creating Access
- Organisational Process Resources
- Maintenance
- External Communications
- The Global Council
- is the convergence point where weaves come together
- The Global Council has specific coordination and initiation functions
- Composed of 12 Partners
- 1 from each Cluster (9)
- A Global Council Holder plus an Internal Leader and an elected Community Member
- Global Council Leaders
- Internal Leader: A person selected by the Global Council to tend to carefully defined functions of leadership including:
- building relationships within NVC-O; integrity of our work;
- the overall function of the organisation.
- Global Council Holder supports the functioning of the Council by
- • attending to internal issues
- • track and monitor process and tasks
- • offer leadership, feedback and conflict resolution as needed within the Global Council
- Elected Community Member
- • • •
- Virtual Home
- Our state of the art online virtual home open 24/7/365
- Connection is the life blood of our shared vision
- Operational Agreement
- An agreed-upon way of doing things
- (the equivalent of “policy” in the new structure) such as for Organisational Weaves to divide when they reach the number 12 so as to preserve effective action and decision-making.
- Operational Agreements may apply throughout
- the organisation or only in parts of NVC-O

- 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
- •
