,→Quel est le lien entre la CNV et les Cercles Restauratifs ?
: ''I met Marshall about a year after I began the conversations that gave rise to RC. I continued learning with him as RC took shape. I met him several times during the 1990's and then hosted him in Brazil 3 times during the 2000's. In 2003 I took him to the favela where RC had first began, to see the work there. In 2005 he and I presented at the World Social Forum in Brazil, and then to the first legal institution to host one of the Ministry of Justice's 3 pilot projects in Restorative Justice. During that visit we also visited a youth prison and worked on a live conflict between a young detainee and a member of staff.
: ''The first and most significant influence NVC had on my understanding of RC was that it gave me a vocabulary and a conceptual framework for what I was observing arising in our experiments in moving towards conflict. The dynamics that were repeatedly occurring were ones NVC had names for. Before NVC I was using dance terms to understand things. I liked them (I still do), but I found NVC terms more useful. NVC also providing provided a way of understanding why RC worked.
: ''NVC helps make power visible, and enables those facilitating an RC to track the co-construction of meaning and the arising of a circle, where power is shared. Not all those facilitating know or like NVC - it is not necessary to know or like it. But those who do, find it a useful way to follow the conflict as it unfolds and the Circle moves forwards.
