Dear Student

Join BaobabX Academy for an interactive workshop on nonviolence, communication, and human flourishing in the digital age.

This interactive workshop explores the principles and practices of nonviolence through the resources of the Metta Centre for Nonviolence, including The Third Harmony book, documentary film, and educational board game.

Participants will be introduced to the foundations of Nonviolent Communication (NVC), developed by Marshall Rosenberg, and will explore its application in education, community engagement, peacebuilding, workplace settings, and digital environments. The workshop combines experiential activities, personal reflection, collaborative discussion, and a screening and discussion of The Third Harmony (2020), examining how nonviolence can contribute to social change, ethical engagement, and inclusive communities in an increasingly interconnected world.
