Most of our Peace Work so far has explored the initial principles of Non-Violent Communication. Namely, we have been discussing the differences between making observations or evaluations when describing our interactions/conflicts and learning how to differentiate between "true" feelings that arise in us and "false" feelings which involve and blame others. This week, we practiced applying these principles as students worked in groups to create skits demonstrating one of the four qualities--observations, evaluations, true feelings, or false feelings. Students ofered a variety of settings and scenarios, and after each performance, we used key clues/phrases from the skits to guess what principle they were demonstrating. Students had a lot of fun writing and performing their skits, so this practice will definitely be something we return to soon!
