The European Forum for Restorative Justice (EFRJ) is a non-governmental organisation based within the walls of the KU Leuven Institute of Criminology (university in Belgium). It was founded in 2000 with the objective to further develop restorative justice throughout Europe. Its main goal is to ensure that every person in Europe has the right to access to high-quality restorative justice services at any stage of the criminal procedure and for any type of crime. Besides its application in the criminal justice field, the EFRJ also supports restorative practices in schools, communities, at workplace etc. Currently, it counts on the support of about 400 members, including 80 organisations, dedicated to restorative justice research, policy work, practice and training in Europe and beyond. Students (below 27 years old) can also apply for an individual membership with a 50% discount on the fee: click here to know more.
