About the ACNV Association
The Association for Nonviolent Communication (ACNV) is an NGO founded in 2007.
ACNV's mission is to promote Nonviolent Communication (a process conceived and developed by Doctor of Psychology Marshall B. Rosenberg) in society, to support those who learn, practise and spread Nonviolent Communication in Romania, and to create a system for promoting peace and the peaceful resolution of conflicts.
Our mission is to make Nonviolent Communication known and practised in Romania and to be a model of NVC consciousness. We are also here to protect the integrity of the Nonviolent Communication process conceived and developed by Marshall B. Rosenberg. We do this by supporting and inspiring one another, growing together and constantly looking for opportunities to collaborate. We are an organisation that operates according to the principles of Nonviolent Communication, and we are connected to a global network of NVC trainers through the Center for Nonviolent Communication.
