On 8 December 2020, we celebrated our 20th anniversary (online, due to covid-19 restrictions).  The EFRJ Jubilee concluded the one week art festival organised one week earlier with a wider audience (see REstART Festival: The arts of justice, solidarity and repair).

Our (former and current) Chairs of the EFRJ Board and Executive Directors joined us to share some anecdotes about the past of the EFRJ and to share some nice hopes and dreams for our future 20 years. Additionally, the chief editor of the Jubilee Magazine explained us in brief the contents of this new publications celebrating the past, present and future of the EFRJ. The event included also two unique surprises prepared by two EFRJ members: a Basque song, sang by our friends we met in June 2019 in Bilbao (the last time we met in person!) and an Italian guitar performance, played by one of the students of the music conservatory in Sassari (the place that will host our next conference in 2022!).

Find below the recordings and the list of speakers/ artists of our EFRJ Jubilee.
