GCC Vision Mission Aim


Vision of the Global Community Circle (GCC)

Anyone can be part of a welcoming global community of NVC practitioners who support and inspire one another. These learning communities are working together to realize CNVC's vision of a world where people are meeting needs mutually and reliably and resolving conflicts nonviolently. People in these communities support one another to interact with empathy and honesty.

Mission of the Global Community Circle

The GCC serves to contribute to the realization of the GCC's vision by nurturing, sustaining and making visible a global community to which people want to belong.
The GCC supports the Center for Nonviolent Communication in achieving its vision and mission by:
1. Facilitating an effective flow of communication throughout our NVC network, and between our network and other networks, to link existing and emerging teams of change agents committed to contributing to life-enriching systems.
2. Cultivating teams for the public to contact locally, regionally and globally.
3. Demonstrating, as a "radiant core", what is possible when an organization commits to living the values of NVC consciousness, thus providing a flow of mutual inspiration and appreciation.

Aims of the Global Community Circle

The GCC intends to be responsive to the needs of the network by facilitating the availability of the following materials and services between people seeking to live and share NVC to create life-enriching systems:

  1. Regular teleconferences and communications that link and inform the NVC community and CNVC leading circles through a flow of information and feedback.
  2. A listing of existing and emerging NVC communities who identify with the Vision and Mission of CNVC, including an interactive map on the CNVC website.
  3. Collection of shared materials for developing and sustaining NVC circles and projects (e.g. proposals for projects and grants, meeting and tracking formats, legal documents for non-profit status, organization structures, roles and responsibilities, etc)
  4. Mediation and facilitation tools and services, which will be encouraged locally and offered worldwide, to support circles and projects in resolving conflicts and moving forward effectively together.
  5. A mechanism on the CNVC website for gathering and sharing GCC documents and communication in an ever-increasing number of languages and a variety of media.

The GCC is committed to finding ways to support these services which are financially sustainable for all involved.
