Restorative justice is about building relationships, open and honest communication, repairing harm, equal voice, respect, empathy and healing. This workshop will introduce the philosophy of restorative justice and present examples of how it is being deployed in Chicago today.

Peace circles are one example of this practice. They create safe spaces for authentic youth and inter-generational engagement. We will discuss this practice then form a peace circle. Come experience the power of the circle as we explore ways to build positive relationships and healthy communities through restorative justice.

Cost: $10
