Poznań 2026

Save the Date & Location: 13th International Conference of the European Forum for Restorative Justice

We are excited to announce that our 13th International Conference will take place between 11–13 June 2026 in Poznań, Poland. This event will be proudly hosted by the Faculty of Psychology and Law at SWPS University, in collaboration with the university and the European Mediation Institute.

Our heartfelt thanks go to our members and colleagues Marceli Kwaśniewski and Aleksandra Dopierała, who form the core of our local organising team. Their interest and dedication in restorative justice and in the EFRJ community will ensure a meaningful and enriching experience for all those who will be joining us in Poznań next year!

Nestled between Warsaw and Berlin, Poznań is one of Poland's oldest cities, often regarded as the birthplace of the Polish state. Its rich history is complemented by a dynamic cultural scene and a spirit of entrepreneurship.

The city of Poznań has a vibrant local network of restorative justice advocates, including the municipality, police and probation services, libraries, schools, university community and civil society organisations. This strong foundation makes Poznań an ideal setting to be the heart and capital of restorative justice in 2026.
