Join the Restorative Schools Working Group for a free webinar on transforming school culture through relational and restorative practices on the 8th of May at 4 pm CEST. Participants will be the first to receive the publication introduced at the meeting. 

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. The seminar will take place at the Conference Center of the University of West Attica, and is organised in collaboration with the Department of Social Work and the Centre for the Study of Social and Humanitarian Crises.
