Restorative Teaching Tools (CPD workshop)

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.

This workshop is practical and interactive so please come prepared to participate in the games and activities that will be presented.

Please note that this workshop will NOT be recorded so you will need to attend the event live. 


This event has been CPD approved by the Restorative Justice Council. Attendees who participate in the full 2 hours of the workshop will receive a certificate for 2 CPD hours.


Tickets can be booked on Eventbrite and ticket prices are variable:

  • £25 (e.g. employed professional/government/academic/large organisation)

  • £10 (e.g. students or employed by a small charity)

We are aware that many people can have their registration fees covered by their organisation/employer as part of their CPD and would prefer to be invoiced for the workshop cost. We can invoice for multiple attendees on one invoice – please contact admin@minthouseoxford.co.uk to arrange this.
