Summary
Finally, it becomes clear that NVC is to be understood as an element of a school culture – with an understanding of people and education in which needs and emotions are taken seriously and relationships and respectful encounters between pupils, teachers and other school staff are at the centre, whereby this is sometimes strongly appealing and moralising. It is also possible to convey communication as part of shaping relationships and to focus on shaping relationships between teachers and pupils. Language and choice of words are defined as a medium for shaping relationships and culture, whereby NVC is also effective beyond non-linguistic forms. Non-violent communication, understood as an attitude, has a special effect and should therefore also be seen as an element of social communication processes.
