CHAT - Communication Harmoniously Agreed Together
The purpose of this project as a learning partnership is the transnational exchange of ideas and practice in the field of
non-violent communication between institutions whose target groups are socially disadvantaged young people who are
unemployed and at risk of further social descent.
As initial position can be seen complaints of employers which are regularly expressed in newspapers, tv and also by
umemployment offices concerning the social competencies of young people who come from school and want to enter
the employment market. A lot of young people cannot get a vocational training because they don't fulfil the basic
qualifications which are needed. To work with non-violent communication strategies can be the first step to develop and
improve social competencies of socially disadvantaged young people. During the meetings the experts of the
participating institutions will first compare and analyse their experiences, national conceptions and ideas concerning
non-violent communication by incorporating an external adviser into the discussion. Following to this learners of the
institutions are to be enabled to test them. As they will be transnational groups of learners who probably don't have a
commun language we will also use games and body language and we will work creatively like making collages.
In the second year of the project there shall be visited institutions that have already worked with non-violent
communication strategies in order to inspire further discussions among experts.
