Building Community with Restorative Justice
A facilitator's role is to empower others to take the lead. When they say, "we did it ourselves," signals this accomplishment.
Restorative justice is a philosophy that views crime, conflict, and wrongdoing principally as harm done to people and relationships. It offers a non-adversarial, non-retributive approach to criminal justice that focuses on meaningful accountability and reparation of harm to address victim needs and the root issues of offenders to prevent recurrence.
In a non-criminal context, restorative practices are viewed as a social science that applies fair, equitable principles to a broader context to shift workplace culture by building social capital and achieving social discipline through participatory learning and collaborative decision-making. Restorative practices range from informal (daily) communication interactions to formal responses.
Participants will be introduced to restorative principles and learn how to prepare parties and facilitate a restorative process to ensure participants feel safe, respected, and empowered. Role-plays customized to be directly applicable in your setting.
