La necesidad: ¿Cuál es el problema que tratas de solucionar?
The area selected for this project is called Kalkudah zone in Batticaloa district ,eastern province, Sri lanka. Last 25 years the people from this area are affected and traumatized due to brutal war, ethnic insurgencies ,tsunami and flood. In current situation, number of domestic violent incidents are recorded comparatively high in this area.
The Kalkudah zone consist two major ethnicities of Tamils and Musilms. Due to the past war and violent incidents both communities hold fear ,hatred and distrust among each other .These conditions ended with polarization and divisions among them. Therefore, people in this area in a greater need for healing and hearing for their deep rooted pain. There should be a common ground for people where they can connect to each other in a human level.
La solución: ¿Cuál es tu solución? Sé específico.
Establishment of culture of empathy in this community will be the solution to bridge the gap between people and to heal the past pain among the traumatized people . Schools are acting as one of the influencing intuitions among Sri Lankan culture. It can be a connecter for traumatized and polarized people. If we transform the consciousness and behaviors of individuals by nurturing empathy skills for school members, we will create mass of people who will practice empathy to create supporting community and to build united community with trust and co existence.
Empathy is an innate nature of human beings. Social learning and bitter experience people’s hearts are closed. Children are naturally compassionate . Therefore, providing empathy skills based on nonviolent communication (NVC) techniques for students will promote peace. After providing empathy skills to students, teachers and parents ,then empathy circles will be formed to sustain culture of empathy in their schools.

In our need assessment s , we collected information regard child abuse, child rights and gender based violence. In that survey ,we have found that how much these children are affected and misguided. The women from last year project who participated NVC trainings shared that how empathy skills and practice groups helped them to deal the challenges and empowered them. They shared that after they learnt NVC and empathy skills, they started empathizing children’s emotions. There was a positive shift in their children’s behaviors after that .Most of the children from this area is affected and traumatized. In our school visit for our need assessment, we interviewed some of the children. They shared their fears and pain of their lives. These experience motivated to start a project to teach empathy skills for students and teachers.
