It gives us immense pleasure to share that we have completed our 'Introduction to Restorative Justice Circle Workshop ' on the 5th of February, 2022.

It was organized in collaboration with DC Peace Team. 

The participants involved practitioners, academicians and research scholars from a variety of fields involving social work, social science, forensic science, psychology and law.

We would like to thank Jeri Fields, Eli McCarthy, Debra Budiani-Saberi, Sal Corbin and Jamal Jones for addressing our participants in the session

We would also like to thank Sangeeta Mehrotra and Raja K.R. for joining us. 

This was an activity- based workshop aiming to provide participants a chance to engage in restorative practices through the lens of relationship building, restoration, and maintenance of peace. The workshop dealt with theoretical roots and practical application of Restorative Justice in two parts. First part of the workshop focused on a detailed discussion on Restorative Justice as a philosophy and set of practices that engage the community in building relationships and repairing harm through inclusive dialogue, deep understanding, and shared power. The participants were sent to break-out rooms with facilitators to discuss the concept of justice and the power of RJ.
The second part of the workshop involved the introduction to the functioning of Restorative Justice Circles. The facilitators used the DCPT model to simulate how RJ encourages identifying harms, sharing the remorse, and healing in separate break-out rooms. They were familiarized with the values and guidelines of the circle process. After the Circle process, participants were debriefed in the main room with all the facilitators.
The appreciation we received throughout the workshop cannot be put in words.

Thank you to all participants for inspiring us all to create an organisation where we can bring our true selves to work.

Kudos to our team Rohit Kumar and Bibisarah S.
Listen. Empathize. Resolve.
