NVC Kenya Starehe Kuinet Youth Group SKY Swahili

Nonviolent Communication training explains why some of us respond violently, while others respond compassionately in the same situation. It also shows you how to express yourself, so as to increase the likelihood that others will willingly contribute to your wellbeing. It also shows you how to receive messages from others that increase the likelihood that you will willingly contribute to their wellbeing.

The Starehe Kuinet Youth Group (SKY) is a registered youth group. They have created this roll-play after just 2 days training.

The theme was, how can people with different opinions have constructive discussions and live in one community and accepting each other.
The narrator is Booker Yeggon

Back ground info:

The roll-ply is based on first hand experience of such situations that created the post elections violence in Kenya in 2007/2008.

The role play is performed two weeks before the August 4th 2010 National Referendum offering a change the constitution.

Summery: We see two parts in the role play, part one depicting the usual way people perceive and react to issues in the community while the second part depicts the same issues being handled with one group having learnt NVC and applies the model in responding to the other and slowly creating connection and facilitates understanding.

Part one

During a campaign rally of the "Say YES" group, to the proposed constitutional changes, another group supporting the "Vote NO" campaign passed the rally and interrupted the meeting. Both groups wanted to defend their choices- they start arguing, blaming, using insults and threats, this lead to violence.

Part two

"Say YES" group has been taught nonviolent communication and thus they first listen to the interrupting group. Realizing that they want to know why they are in support of the proposed constitution they go a head and give reasons without mixing with blames or judging the interrupting group. They also ask if their explanations are satisfying or there are clarifications to be done. When the interrupting group is satisfied they are free to join or still hold to their opinions and is no sign of violence.
