Dates: Oct. 1, 2010 to June 1, 2011 (periodic teleclasses; not all-day despite above)
Last year, for the first time ever, people from around the world (8 time zones!) had the opportunity to participate in the Parent Peer Leadership Program (PLPP) in its new long-distance-only format. This year, once again, the PPLP is more accessible than ever for parents who may otherwise have no or little access to this level of NVC training.
The PPLP is a 9-month leadership training program for NVC practitioners who are dedicated to integrating NVC into their families as well as spreading and sharing NVC with other parents.
The purpose of the PPLP is to support such lay leaders to deepen their capacity to:
a.) Understand NVC: to have clarity about NVC practices and the consciousness underlying these practices;
b.) Live NVC: to integrate NVC consciousness and skills into daily life;
c.) Share NVC: to have the skills, awareness, materials, and support needed to begin to share NVC with other parents, and to live/model NVC in the learning and teaching process.
PPLP-10 is a very rich 9-month program which includes an abundant wealth of reading, home study and journaling materials, at least 20 teleclasses and ongoing access to audio recordings, monthly feedback opportunities for your work, personal support calls with trainers and the leadership team, weekly empathy buddy connections, a complete 8-week curriculum for sharing NVC with parents, and an active and supportive email group. All this within a committed and consistent learning community of like-minded parents!
The PPLP was founded in 2006 by Inbal Kashtan (founder of the nvc-parenting list!) as a joint project of BayNVC and CNVC. Since 2007, the PPLP has been led by CNVC certified trainer Ingrid Bauer and experienced assistants.
The PPLP is an incredible and unique opportunity for those with some NVC experience to build on and integrate NVC consciousness and skills more deeply, as well as have the tools to share it and build local community for yourself.
