Le besoin : quel problème tentez-vous de résoudre ?

Communicating is a basic human action and need. Communication is present in all private and public relationships (parental, filial, loving, friendship, professional, commercial, administrative, between States, etc.). Most individuals seem to lack interpersonal communication skills. Now, a better communication between individuals leads to comprehension, empathy, and finally peace. In my view, communication is the basis of empathy. Not only does communication include empathy (empathic hearing), but it conducts to empathy (empathic feeling). Therefore, teaching communication will necessarily lead to the learning of empathy.

La solution: quelle solution proposez-vous ? Soyez précis !

I believe that communication is a skill which should be taught at school (such as language, mathematics, science, sports, etc.). It should be taught to children from maternal to high school (i.e., 3 - 18 years old). The communication classes' form, rhythm and content should vary according to the ages. I trust that the entire society could be 'quickly' and deeply transformed (in 2 or 3 generations): not only will all children be trained to communication, but they will necessarily transmit this tool to their parents.

Le système : décrivez un exemple spécifique montrant de quelle façon votre initiative fonctionne ; indiquez vos principales activités.

At first, the communication classes should be provided by communication professionals. Thereafter, the existing teachers (language, math’s, etc.) should be trained by the communication professionals. Finally, new individuals should be attracted by the project, get trained by communication professionals and become communication teachers.

Le marché : qui sont vos collègues et vos concurrents ? Identifiez les autres personnes qui travaillent à répondre au même besoin et indiquez ce qui vous différencie d'elles. Comment ces concurrents pourraient-ils influencer votre réussite ou votre croissance ?

In Belgium, there are some communication professionals who provide communication trainings in the private or professional spheres (i.e., to individuals or businesses). However, as far as I know, there is to date no project as I envision it and as described above. I plan and wish to attract in my project the aforesaid communication professionals in order for us to collaborate to its implementation.

Jusqu'à ce jour, quels résultats a obtenu votre projet ?

My project is still in its envisioning phase.

Quelles sont vos prévisions en termes d'impact au cours des trois prochaines années?

I wish to launch the pilot study phase in 2-3 schools (1-2 years), followed by the confirmation phase in 5-10 schools (3-5 years).
Thereafter, the implementation phase should touch as many schools as possible (possibly all) in Belgium.
The project is exportable to all countries.

Quels sont les obstacles qui risquent de freiner votre projet ? Comment pensez-vous les surmonter ?

Communication is not considered as a fundamental knowledge to be taught at school (in comparison with other disciplines).
Education is a sensitive topic as it depends notably on politics.
People consider this project as utopian (too big to come true! :-)).
I'm not a communication professional.
It’s a long term project.
To overcome these difficulties, I'm going to work very hard on my project in order to CONVINCE that its implementation is an inevitable need for our world and an invaluable tool for society (it has major social impacts on the long term: communication => decrease of violence & health problems => decrease of security & health costs for the State; increase of job growth in the communication field; etc.).

Founding Story: We want to hear about your "Aha!" moment. Share the story of where and when the founder(s) saw this solution's potential to change the world [125 words]

Several years ago, I attended a conference which changed my life. It occurred as a pure coincidence; I happened to be informed about the conference two hours before its start. Since I was working as a business lawyer and used to work late hours, I didn’t think I could make it. Finally and fortunately, I got to go with my husband. The topic of the conference was interpersonal communication, and more specifically empathic hearing. Its content fascinated me. It sound revolutionary. I was stunned: I saw interpersonal communication as a key to change the world. And I saw school as the best channel to spread this basic tool needed to become an accomplished and empathic individual in today’s world.

Quels sont vos différents partenariats ?

At this stage, I don’t have any partnership, but I hope/trust that I will be able to convince different partners to work with me on the project: several communication professionals, a psychologist, a sociologist, and several schools. I have already conducted many exchanges and interviews on my project, and I have been able to federate a large network of supporters.

Avec quelle équipe (employés, bénévoles, etc.) pensez-vous atteindre vos objectifs de croissance définis dans la section sur l'impact social? [75 mots]

With the same people described above; hopefully on a volunteering basis for the pilot study phase, and on a salary base for the confirmation and implementation phases.

Expliquez plus en détails les besoins et les offres indiqués ci-dessus ou proposez un type d'aide non mentionné dans la liste

I primarily need financial help: I wish to work full time on the project. Although my supportive husband is ready to take on our financial life, I need to earn a minimum salary (part time salary). As regards the professionals whom I hope to rally to this cause, I will look for successful active people (who will ensure the project's quality) and ask them to grant to it 2-4 voluntary hours per week.
