Study visit & Courses with the main theme - empathy

For over 20 years, empathetic communication has been a natural part of everyday life at our five preschools. It is more than a method - it is an approach that strengthens both the collaboration between educators and our long-term work to give children a secure foundation for self-esteem, self-awareness and good relationships.

Our work draws inspiration from NVC (Nonviolent Communication), a communication model developed by American psychologist Dr. Marshall B. Rosenberg. By practicing listening with empathy, understanding feelings and needs, and expressing oneself respectfully, we create the conditions for meetings that are characterized by understanding, cooperation, and mutual development.

Over the years, we have welcomed a large number of study visits, given lectures and workshops both in Sweden and internationally, and participated in research and development projects together with colleagues in Norway and Denmark. Our experiences have inspired educators, school leaders and organizations who want to strengthen their relationship-building work and create more empathetic learning environments.

Study visits, workshops and lectures on empathetic communication

For many years we have hosted study visits, held courses, lectures and workshops both in Sweden and internationally. We have also participated in studies together with actors from Norway and Denmark with a focus on children's social and emotional development.

A study visit to our school usually lasts 1.5–2 hours and provides an inspiring insight into how we work with empathetic communication in everyday life. The visit includes an introduction to our working methods, a tour of the preschool and a concluding question and answer session.

In collaboration with EdFuture, we also offer courses held in English or Swedish and give participants a unique insight into our work with a consciously empathetic approach inspired by Nonviolent Communication (NVC).

As a complement to our study visits, we also offer our empathy game, where participants can practice listening empathetically, expressing feelings and needs in a playful and engaging way in order to develop a more conscious and empathetic approach in their encounters with both children and adults.
