Pedro's background is from Physics, having worked with several universities and research centers in Europe and former Eastern Bloc countries. The need to reach others in a more effective way led him to choose to become a primary and secondary school teacher, with the dream of changing the world through families and young people.
He grew up in a family where conflicts were avoided and communication was very poor or absent. He needed to deconstruct his rigidity and fear of conflict and rebuild the adult he had become. Immersed himself in different areas, such as Theater, Philosophy for Children, Yoga, Buddhist Meditation, Creative Writing, Systemic Constellations, Nonviolent Communication and Conflict Mediation.
His experience of almost 30 years as a teacher and 10 years as a Conflict Mediator with families and young people in regions of great conflict and violence, has given him a very accurate understanding of the dynamics and nuances of the conflict and proof of the effectiveness of Nonviolent Communication.
In 2021 he wrote his book “From Conflict to Love – Nonviolent Communication in School and Life”, published by Astrolábio Editions, in Portugal and Brazil.
He loves meaningful human relationships. Meaning, Contribution and Purpose are three human needs that are very present in everything he does. That's why he’s here!

Begüm has worked in the International Financial Reporting field for 14 years, and is a permaculture designer who hasworked with communities who support community supported agriculture and ecological food. She is a mother of two children, a son and a daughter.
Begüm began her involvement with Nonviolent Communication after she gave birth to her second child, and witnessed behavioral change in the elder child. By that time, she discovered that NVC was her healing field rather than her children’s. With the help of NVC, she empowered to be centered in herself and to connect with others and herself empathically. She has met with her "self-actualization power” in NVC fields.

Over the past five years, Trang's journey as a practitioner and advocate of Compassionate Communication in Vietnam has allowed her to nurture many meaningful friendships and apply NVC’s principles to her work in education and community engagement. More than just a communication technique, for her, NVC is a transformative practice that enables individuals to cultivate self-awareness, connect authentically with others, leading to effective collaboration and sustain wellbeing for all.
Exploring my internal world, and the external motivates the journey of my life, and I seek ways to live with integrity and harmony. Alongside other beautiful practices that I have embraced, like yoga and ayurveda, NVC enables me to uncover my inner-self further, and to foster more meaningful connections with people around. My journey with NVC began 4 years ago with reading the book, and I could feel its transformative energy. The 9-Day IIT I attended was a heart-opening experience, with absolutely brilliant trainers (some listed above on this page!). Bringing elements of NVC into my everyday life helps me in understanding needs of self and others better, in both personal and professional situations. I hope more and more people find access to such knowledge, and benefit from it. To be a part of the organizing team for this IIT is a small way in which I can contribute to the community, and this makes me happy.
