Restorative justice practices are used in schools, the justice system, workplaces, and universities to reach resolution following conflict or misconduct through focusing on the impacts of the incident and what can be done to make things right. The process offers concrete tools to build and maintain healthy, productive communities.
This training will provide participants with a firm understanding of restorative principles and the skills and knowledge necessary to facilitate restorative conversations, conferences, and group facilitation. This experiential training will offer participants the opportunity to practice and cement new skills through activities, role plays, small group interactions, and large group discussions.
**This training is specifically designed for those who have already undertaken introductory training in restorative practices, whether through one of our introductory workshops or similar.**
We prioritise relationships and having fun through community building activities and the use of games to teach important concepts. Come learn how to respond to issues of conflict and incidents of harm through a method founded on respect, empathy and honest communication.
During the two day you'll learn and practice:
- Restorative Conversation Model
- Conference Facilitation (from preparation through to follow up)
- Circle Processes for Establishing Group Norms, Culture-Setting, and Responding to Issues
