How does the European Union use NVC?
In 1994 UNICEF selected NVC for introduction into schools in Yugoslavia and by 1998 over 1,500 teachers from 40 towns had received 6 full days of training. Subsequently, the European Union funded NVC trainers to introduce it into four Israeli and four Palestinian schools and to schools in Northern Ireland. Since then the Israeli government has appointed an NVC trainer to a national education post with the mandate to introduce NVC into all Israeli schools. The European Union funding for NVC has now been extended to other countries.
