About the course

Compassionate Communication in English - for People who have English as their second language.

Learn effective ways to communicate and relate to people in English in every area of your life.

Relationships with people can be hard. With children, parents, siblings, friends, leaders, neighbours, bosses, employees, not to mention people who can be racist or sexist or closed-minded in other ways. In this course, we will learn to express what is important to us without judging, blaming, demanding or deferring. We will learn together how to communicate compassionately, at a slower pace and with time to embed and practise using helpful vocabulary around feelings and values.

Join us for some kind and caring conversations and make some friends too!

Average size is 12 - 15 students.
