​What people have said about Ozgen:

You were by my side when we put on the jackal and giraffe ears on the last day of the training and you have been an incredible support to me. In the evening of that day, we chatted with the person mentioned in the study for 4-5 hours. We talked to each other, laughed, hugged, cried. That person is my sister-in-law, and for the first time in our 10-year relationship, I started speaking as unprejudiced as possible. For the first time, I started with the hope that there might be a different story on the other side than I had in mind. Your voice, your face, your attitude, your compassion were always in front of my eyes, I spoke as if you were next to me, as if I was holding your hand. And I came across an amazing story. It was so far from the scenario in my head that I couldn't believe it. I'm still a little sad, maybe I'm mourning what I've lost so far in my relationships with other people. But I still have hope for the future. I feel very sincere, deep gratitude for giving me this hope.

“Thanks to the 8-week Introduction to Nonviolent Communication Seminar in Azerbaijan, I experienced a soft language in communicating with myself and people. I met myself with topics such as connection, self-compassion, empathy. During the 8-week seminar, Özgen always communicated with each participant through Nonviolent Communication Language. He never came into the image of a teacher, as one of us, it made me very comfortable to offer education. This training has helped me to connect with myself, to meet my feelings and needs.
