Le besoin : quel problème tentez-vous de résoudre ?
Giraffe Juice, the books are aimed at addressing bullying. The project is aimed at teaching children, their families and teachers about empathy and connection, and to serve as a clearing house, of sorts, for NVC (Nonviolent Communication as developed by Marshall Rosenberg)when and where it is directed at serving children. NVC and empathy are amazing tools that will solve the problems of violence and isolation.
La solution: quelle solution proposez-vous ? Soyez précis !
When people build their empathy skills they become able to understand why people do what they do, and see actions without judgment. Judgment stands in the way of connection and of solutions to problems. NVC teaches the skills that help us return to our empathic nature. Giraffe Juice, the books and the website, help children learn about empathy and NVC, thus regaining those live-serving skills.
Le système : décrivez un exemple spécifique montrant de quelle façon votre initiative fonctionne ; indiquez vos principales activités.
We are in the process of promoting the reader and workbook by reaching out to NVC trainers, family camps, and others serving children. The book has encouraged children and youth to start empathy groups in person and online. The website is designed to help anyone who wishes to share their experiences with empathy as well as other resources for learning and sharing empathy and NVC.
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 ?
Because our goal is to spread empathy I see no-one in our 'business' as competition; our goal is only served all groups, businesses, and individuals teaching NVC and/or empathy. One challenge is differentiating between empathy and sympathy or other forms of mollifying feelings. This mis-understanding makes it a bit more difficult to share the value of empathy.

Impact social
This Entry is about (Issues)
Jusqu'à ce jour, quels résultats a obtenu votre projet ?
Feedback we have received include: support at school in negotiating bullying situations; teaching a violent father to handle his anger differently (reported by a domestic violence counselor); and encouraging a child to start a "Giraffe Club" at his school (the giraffe is the symbol for NVC(tm) and stands, in part, for having a big heart and sticking your neck out to promote connection).
Quelles sont vos prévisions en termes d'impact au cours des trois prochaines années?
We are planning to add other books to our offerings, as well as newsletters where we share ideas for growing NVC skills including empathy. As our reach grows around the United States and around the world we hope to give away and sell at least one million copies of Giraffe Juice so as to spread these valuable skills and change millions of lives.

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]
Giraffe Juice was written by JP Allen and Marci Winters to help fill a deficit in NVC: materials for children. As and NVC practitioner JP saw this as a great opportunity to contribute to children and their families: NVC helps people communicate and connect with one another, and to recognize feelings and needs so as to live lives full of joy and connection. The website was developed to promote the distribution of the books, and to further support children, teachers and families by being a "one stop shopping" place for all things related to this dream of joyful and connected children and families.
