Today, we will kick off with the first of our 7-session webinar series on Relational and Restorative Practices in Schools! Schools are increasingly facing complex challenges, from student dysregulation and disengagement to absenteeism, polarisation, and identity-based harm. Responding to these realities requires approaches that prioritise relationships, consistencies, and sustainable change. This international webinar series, led by the EFRJ Working Group on Restorative Schools, brings together educators and practitioners across seven live sessions, starting today (March 24th). Each 75-minute session offers practical, trauma-informed strategies to support school culture, respond to behaviour, and lead meaningful change, combining expert input, real-world examples, and space for reflection and application. Live captioning will be available in multiple languages to ensure accessibility across contexts. Registration for the first webinar, as well as the series package is now open and accessible!

As environmental harm continues to impact ecosystems, communities, and future generations, there is a growing need for approaches that address not only damage, but responsibility, dialogue and repair. In response, the EFRJ Working Group on Environmental Restorative Justice has developed the Restorative Justice Approaches for Environmental Harm, a Practice Guide, bringing together practical tools, principles, and insights from practitioners, scholars, policymakers, and environmental actors. The guide addresses a wide range of environmental harms, from pollution and biodiversity loss to resource depletion, and explores how restorative approaches can respond meaningfully in these contexts. The webinar offers an opportunity to hear directly from the authors. The session will introduce the purpose of the guide, reflect on its collaborative development, and provide a chapter-by-chapter overview, followed by a Q&A.

In a push to ensure justice systems move toward humane, inclusive and sustainable futures, RESCALED is organising a European Symposium on Detention Houses to explore detention houses as a sustainable replacement for large-scale prison institutions, centring deprivation of liberty as a last resort. Taking place on the 21st-22nd of April in Tirana, Albania, and co-organised with RESCALED Ambassador Olta Qejvani and the FRAME project, the symposium brings together change-makers around Europe to strengthen a shared commitment to justice systems that are humane, inclusive, and sustainable. The programme will culminate in the launch of the #1000HOUSES campaign, an ambitious collective call to replace 100 prisons with 1000 detention houses by 2030. Join this pivotal movement for systemic change by registering here!
