The second edition of REstART Festival took place in Leuven and Brussels between 5th-9th December 2025. The event was organised on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of the European Forum for Restorative Justice. 

Bringing together an international audience (more 330 participants), it featured 17 events in 6 days across 8 venues. 

The Festival was realised thanks to 6 funders and 4 local partners, 5 staff members, 3 interns, 14 hosts (plus their families), and about 30 volunteers (see the whole list on the Festival’s page under Acknowledgements). 

Specific sessions have been offered by the Government of Navarra (La Mirada del Otro), Rondine Cittadella della Pace (Dissonanze in Accordo), JSPSS - Japan Society for the Promotion of Science and JFGE - Japan Fund for Global Environment (Victims' Voices of a Pollution).
