Online Course – Compassionate Communication for Peace

This online course is a free, introductory program that helps participants develop self‑knowledge and communication skills so they can relate to others from a culture of compassion and care.

Purpose and approach

The purpose of the course is “to incorporate new awareness and self‑connection skills into personal development, enabling participants to engage with others from a culture of compassion and care.” Its methodology emphasizes self‑knowledge as the foundation for empathy, deep listening, and assertive communication, and it is grounded in Popular Education and the spirituality of the Sacred Heart.

The materials invite learners to reflect on how they were raised, the educational environments they come from, and their own understanding of what education means, then to draw conclusions about the relationship between feeling and thinking in education.

The course is offered through the Sacred Heart Transformative Learning Program platform. You must enroll to access the full content. It is free of charge, and once enrolled you gain access to all modules and the discussion forum for interactive engagement with other participants.
