Podcast: İçim Dışım Bir /Konuk: Fatoş Ateş

Hello. You are in a space where your inner voice and the face you project outward smile at each other. This is "My Inner and Outer Self Are One." Sometimes we clash with ourselves, sometimes with those closest to us, sometimes with the system we live in, and sometimes with nature. Yet, even amidst these experiences that separate us, it is possible to remain centered and reconnect. We are here to look at life through this different window offered by Nonviolent Communication. If you are ready to join us, let's begin. Our guest in this podcast series, where CNVC Center Nonviolent Communication Trainers and Trainer Candidates share their experiences, is Fatoş Ateş. In this episode, Fatoş shares with us the effects of Nonviolent Communication on all areas of her life, and especially on her family life, the closest circle of her life. 03:30 What would life be like if we learned a ‘new language’ like Nonviolent Communication? 06:53 Before using Nonviolent Communication in education, I wanted to get inspiration from examples abroad. 09:50 Being able to say that my inner needs are as important as my outer needs… 13:34 Expressing my vitality, whatever is inside me, ‘joy, disappointment…’, from there was valuable. 14:40 Nonviolent Communication affected me in 3 stages, it drew me in. The second… 24:04 As a teacher, I reflected these learnings at school like this: 29:16 Imagine a family of 11 people, how difficult it is to talk, that's where I tried my nonviolent communication practices. She conveys it with these titles. With the hope that it will be an enjoyable meeting.

She has been volunteering at the BBOM Association since 2016. In 2019, she participated in the Participatory and Peaceful Classrooms Project, funded by the Sabancı Foundation and implemented in partnership with Another School is Possible and the Nonviolent Communication Association. She creates projects to put the training she received from various trainers into practice on her Nonviolent Communication journey. She led an Erasmus project in Europe titled 'A New Language of Peace in Schools,' based on Nonviolent Communication, in partnership with schools. She plans to see these practices more widely implemented in different cultures. Within the scope of Erasmus, she supports the implementation of the ‘TASC: Teacher Academy Sustainable Communication’ project, written for the Teacher Academy, a project based on Nonviolent Communication for university-educated teachers, by providing feedback. She is one of the creators of the first Nonviolent Communication Family Camp in Turkey. Fatoş currently works as an English teacher in a state secondary school affiliated with the Ministry of National Education. In her teaching practice, she places great importance on creating classrooms that use the language of Nonviolent Communication, creating environments where everyone can express themselves freely, feel listened to, and experience cooperation instead of competition. She adds: ‘For me, Nonviolent Communication is a way of life; a way to transcend limiting beliefs, connect with our inner strength, and care for relationships that need healing and attention.’ She states that sharing this approach with children and the adults accompanying them has a profound meaning for her, because she believes it contributes to a culture of empathy, understanding, and mutual respect.
