Feedback:

The session organized by the ANEC team was extremely fruitful. The concept that was shared with us strengthens our understanding of nonviolence and other humanistic values that we take for granted, that we don’t wore upon. The session went really well and helped me gain clarity on a lot of things. I am looking forward to implement what I have learned.  @Vaishali Sharma.

Thank you very much ANEC for conducting this session. Despite of getting short period of time the staff has prepared very well. @Shardool

The presentation increased my knowledge and perspective about the communication specially the term “Identify your emotion”.  @Rishu shrivast

It is first best camp for me on Nonviolent Communication. So, Today’s session was very good. I relate to my past journey and learn more things like politeness, coordination and expressing one’s feeling. @Javed Akhter.

Thank You
