Arts in Restorative Justice Practices, Theories and Training

online event, 8 December between 6-7:30 pm CET

In recent years, much more attention has been given to the intersections between restorative justice and the arts. In some cases, artworks have been used to raise awareness about stories of restorative justice; in others, practitioners used artistic processes or other creative methodologies to encourage dialogue in restorative justice encounters.

Members of the EFRJ Editorial Committee will facilitate an online conversation on 8 December for sharing of examples and ideas about how various forms of art help to encapsulate restorative justice, both in practice and in theory.

Everyone is invited to register (for free): artists, restorative justice practitioners, students, young people, witnesses of restorative justice meetings, researchers, and everyone else interested in this topic and willing to engage in a discussion with others.

Prepare before the event

Is there a poem that struck you? A story that you regularly refer to? A theatre play? Any form of literature? A piece of music? A film? Visual arts? A sculpture?

Participants will be invited to reflect back on their lives and share examples of artworks that transport restorative values or have become an inspiration for their restorative work in any other way. The facilitated discussion will focus on the benefits that the inclusion of arts in restorative practice and training can bring, based on personal experiences and ideas.

If possible, participants can share their screen to show and image (or a short video/ extract of a video, max 3 minutes long), or show an object, or read a text, to support the starting of the discussion.
