FIRST NVC TRAINING IN KAKUMA
Published on June 9, 2025 by Ezekiel Khamis
Nonviolent Communication (NVC) Training Update
Date: 21st – 25th May 2025
Location: Kakuma Refugee Camp
We recently completed a five-day NVC training in Kakuma, building on the momentum of our first session on April 21st. This training engaged 27 participants from various nationalities and focused on strengthening empathy, emotional awareness, and nonviolent dialogue in the refugee camp.
The training was led by Steve with support from Kirsten, Irmtraud, Christiane, and Michael. The group’s active participation, positive feedback, and calls for more NVC training highlight a strong demand for these skills in Kakuma.
As next steps, there’s a plan to organize additional training sessions during school holidays and to extend the program to include teachers in August. We’re also exploring partnerships with other local initiatives to maximize impact.
Overall, this training marks an important step in promoting peaceful coexistence and building capacity for nonviolent communication in Kakuma. We’re committed to expanding this work and fostering a culture of empathy and understanding.
