Introduction to Restorative Justice - Autumn 2021

The Introduction to Restorative Justice course invites participants to discover the basics of restorative justice,  its purpose, key principles, models, applicability, and supporting legal instruments. The learning is organised through active participation, discussions, group exercises and common reflections, and it features specific and practical examples such as for example scenarios of (anonymised) cases. 

The course is an excellent start of refresher to anyone interested in restorative justice, It is especially recommended for policy makers, managers, and full-time workers (social workers, community activists, teachers, psychologists,  police, prosecutors, judges and prison officers) and volunteers who wish to implement restorative justice.  The concepts and skills have relevance for people working in the criminal justice system, in schools, workplaces, healthcare settings, community and other organisations.

Participants of the course will receive course materials and get access to the a number of additional pre-recorded video presentations that invite them to learn about specialised topics related to restorative justice. These resources will remain available for them even after the end of the course and they can watch them according to their own interests and in their own pace.
