Learn to facilitate restorative conferences, in which everyone impacted by wrongdoing can share how they have been affected and have a say in how to repair the harm. This formal circle is used to address negative incidents and fosters more positive outcomes than mere punishment, in education, criminal justice, youth work, organisational and other settings. Our 3-day Skills Training prepares participants to run restorative justice conferences and to use restorative practices in their everyday roles.
