“Words
have both the power to destroy and heal. When words are both true and kind,
they can change our world.”
A WEBINAR on Nonviolent
Communication was organized by the Blue Bells Model School in
association with Gandhi
Smriti and Darshan Samiti, New Delhi (Autonomous Body under the Ministry of
Culture, Government of India), New Delhi on
May 16, 2020 at 12 noon.
Ms. Alka Singh,
Principal , Blue Bells Model School accorded a Formal Welcome to the august
gathering. Madam, in her own words described how the
Principle of Non- Violence in our daily lives, at our workplace, as well as
with our peers affect the very value system and the way we perceive the world. Mr Dipanker Sharma, Director Gandhi Smriti and
Darshan Samiti briefed about the agenda and vision. Mr Vedabhayas Kundu,
Program officer gave a detailed PowerPoint presentation on the topic- Non
Violent Communications. He made the session very interactive and live. He also
requested students to opt for an Online
Course Module available on their website.
The
entire session answered three main
questions -What is Nonviolent Communication? , Elements of Nonviolent
Communication… and Practicing Nonviolent Communication in our
daily lives. Nonviolent Communication is
a powerful tool of effective communication which helps individuals to connect
and engage with not only themselves but their families, friends and the society
at large. It is based on pillars of Gandhian nonviolence- mutual respect,
understanding, acceptance, appreciation and compassion. Nonviolent
Communication not only helps in emotional bridge building but also is an
important tool to resolve disputes and conflicts. If we nurture the habit of
using nonviolent communication in our daily lives, we will be able to overcome
many problems in our families and society.
The
last part of the Webinar was a Question Answer Round wherein our enthusiastic
Blue Bellians showcased their deep understanding and asked thought provoking
questions from Prof. Kundu who was very pleased to answer. This resulted to an
informative, interesting, as well as an engrossing session for the masses to
receive The Mahatma’s educations in these times of crisis. It was an enriching
experience for all.
