 *Talk Summary*

*Many of us are interested in and strive for peaceful engagement in our
families, communities, schools, and nation, and there are strong calls for
peace within our education community (e.g., Oxford, 2013; The Language of
Peace: Communicating to Create Harmony) and in international engagement
initiatives (e.g., Gopin, 2016; Healing the Heart of Conflict). However,
understandings about ways to live in peace often remain abstract, and the
language that we observe in politics, the media, and even in education (and
that we use ourselves) is often filled with judgments, labels, and blame,
and we increasingly see misunderstandings and division across, and even
within, the groups that we care about and engage with. The goals of this
talk are to review key principles and components of nonviolent
communication, which teachers can use with learners and colleagues and in
their classes, and all of us can use in our daily lives. These include ways
to Observe, express our own Feelings, understand our Needs, and make
Requests.*
