Rather than offering answers, we invite shared reflection, curiosity, and dialogue. This is a space to think together about race, representation, language, and power in restorative practice, and about what might shift in our own contexts.

Drawing on recent research, this session moves beyond presenting findings to opening questions:

⚪️ Who is missing?
⚪️ What changes when new voices enter the room?
⚪️ And what responsibility do we each hold?

We did it! Together we raised £4030 during The Big Give Christmas Challenge, exceeding our target! Thank you so much for your support. We look forward to widening the reach of restorative justice and practice over the coming year.

Widen the Reach of Restorative Justice & Practice – Big Give We would like to reach new audiences to help groups of people understand and use restorative justice and practice to …

We want more people to experience the benefits of a restorative approach to relationships and conflict!

Please help us raise the funds we need to reach more people in Oxford and beyond.

Donations are being DOUBLED until tomorrow via The Big Give. Thank you! donate.biggive.org/campaign/a05...

We believe in bringing people together to create shared solutions. Building strong relationships means making decisions together, and repairing relationships after harm involves jointly making agreements for next steps.

Talking about a conflict can bring clarity to the situation. In restorative justice, offenders and those harmed can talk through what happened and why.

🟢 Help us bring restorative justice to more people in Oxford!

Your donations via The Big Give (2-9 Dec) will be doubled: lnkd.in/ePW7wkHW
