An International Intensive Training, or IIT, is a special kind of ‘immersive experience’
Developed by Marshall B. Rosenberg, is uniquely offered through the Center for Nonviolent Communication as part of his legacy. It is a 9-day, residential workshop in Nonviolent Communication, typically including 40 to 70 participants with 3 to 5 or 6 CNVC Certified Trainers.
The IITs are organized in collaboration with a local organizer/host group or individual who organizes the residential venue, meals, and other logistics. The costs vary with each IIT, as they depend on the costs of the venues available in the location of the event. IITs have been held all over the world; Sri Lanka, Canada, Sweden, France, Switzerland, Colombia, Brazil, United States, Hungary, Italy and Argentina, are just a few of the countries that have hosted IITs.
The participants and trainers live, eat, play, and learn together in community during the training, providing real-life opportunities to live Nonviolent Communication over an extended period of time. Participants develop Nonviolent Communication skills and consciousness with the guidance and support of the Certified Trainer team. Check out our frequently asked questions (FAQ) about IITs.
