Call for new Working Groups
What is a Working Group?
Working Groups are groups of members convened by the Board to perform a specific task or produce a specific outcome in a limited timeframe. They either dissolve after their task has been done or they are transformed to a former committee of European Forum for Restorative Justice (EFRJ).
What does a Working Group do?
-
Produces a short document explaining the potential contribution of restorative justice in each domain;
-
Works together to develop a specific training of the EFRJ;
-
Supports and encourages research on the potential application of restorative justice in each specific situation;

Commits to regular virtual meetings and exchange of emails.
-
Can be consulted on this topic by EFRJ staff and members.

How are they organised?
