Learning outcomes
Theoretical concepts: student will be able to explain:
- relation between feelings and needs (as components of experiencing) - four steps of non-violent communication - basic cathegories of conversational contexts - steps in peer empathy process Student will improve in following skills - empathic listening - understanding deeper meanings of the message - self connection - differentiating judgements/interpretations from observations and needs - honest non-blaming expression The above skills are not measurable and they are context-dependent. Therefore it is not possible to promise final level of students skills. However students would improve due to training and they will become aware of these skills snd their relevance to the situation.
