The third edition of the EFRJ's Winter Academy takes place between 3 - 7 February 2025 in Leuven (Belgium) offering 2 practice-oriented courses on A) Restorative Justice and Imprisonment & B) Basic Restorative Training Skills.

EFRJ International Seminar - Athens 2025

The 13th International Seminar of the EFRJ (Athens, 16-17 May 2025) will focus on the transformative potential of restorative justice to address the vulnerabilities faced by children on the move. From refugees and asylum seekers to those displaced by climate change, these children face heightened risks of violence, exploitation, and discrimination. By drawing on the metaphor of an 'odyssey,' this seminar will explore how restorative practices can create pathways of inclusion, resilience, and empowerment for children on the move while fostering dialogue with host communities.
