Please join us for an online Restorative Teaching Tools workshop to learn games and activities for teaching restorative justice concepts.
Together, we will explore why games and activities are a particularly good fit for teaching restorative justice, and engage with four activities designed to meet common restorative justice learning needs, all while having fun!
This is a great opportunity for restorative justice practitioners, trainers, and educators seeking to diversify their teaching methods. You will gain experience with games and activities that you can use to create more interactive, relational, and experiential learning spaces.
This workshop will be facilitated by Kathleen McGoey and Lindsey Pointer, authors of The Little Book of Restorative Teaching Tools and The Little Book of Restorative Teaching Tools for Online Learning. You can read more about each of them and their work at https://restorativeteachingtools.com.

One day in-person workshop to learn foundational skills for facilitating restorative circles.
Restorative practice supports people to manage conflict, resolve disputes, and negotiate agreements in criminal justice, health, and education systems, and in family, workplace, residential, faith, and other communities.
In all of these contexts, a facilitated restorative circle can support a group of people to make sense of a situation together, then make an agreement about how to improve that situation.
This one-day workshop introduces foundational skills for facilitating restorative circles, including circles with large groups of people.
The workshop is for people who are (i) new to restorative practice or (ii) experienced with restorative conferences in restorative justiceprogrammes, and interested to explore the use of restorative circles in other contexts.
One day in-person workshop for experienced practitioners to extend their facilitation practice and for managers to expand the scope of their programmes.
This one-day workshop has been developed for restorative practitioners who are seeking to consolidate and/or extend their facilitation practice, and for leaders and managers interested to expand the scope of their programs.
Participants will:
● explore how to adapt restorative processes when dealing with (i) complex cases involving harm, or (ii) situations in workplaces and other communities that involve a complex set of entangled issues;
● analyse combinations of circle processes and techniques that can help facilitators and participants address complex situations constructively;
● revise skills for diagnosing situations, defining process(es), and preparing participants;
● examine a learning system which uses reflective practice to support practitioners to learn on-the-job, individually and collectively.
