Description

Project objective is to provide systematic professional cooperation within the local government to resolve community conflicts or offences relying on the principles of restorative justice, which is a safe and people-centred community. When resolving conflicts and offences, the goal is set to heal community relations, which is based on restorative justice resolution processes. With our restorative justice training we encourage everyone to contribute and improve their skills, diversify prevention work and make it more systematic and targeted, promote a community-centred, network-based approach, and improve cooperation between different partners.

The project activities will result in training conflict mediators according to the Belinda Hopkins model as well as training of the facilitators of Restorative Circles. Activities include awareness-raising activities (distribution of materials) and carrying out awareness campaigns on restorative justice. Ultimately, restorative justice measures (conflict mediation, restorative circle) are being implemented in the community (including in the local kindergarten, school, youth centre, local government and police work) for different cases.
