WOKING WITH OUR COMMUNITY
Restorative Justice/Practice is for everyone, everywhere and our work at the Centre for Restorative Justice takes us into diverse communities Australia wide. We could be delivering a Restorative Practice workshop at your local primary school today or undertaking a Restorative Conference within the justice system tomorrow.

European Forum for Restorative Justice – 12th International Conference
Deb, our Restorative Services Manager attended the 3-day conference held in Tallinn, Estonia in May. The conference was attended by approximately 500 participants from across the globe, the majority being from Belgium, Estonia, UK (including Ireland) and USA. It included a traditional storyteller, Hannah Moore from UK who introduced a number of restorative concepts through the use of storytelling to preposition most of the plenary sessions or close off plenary sessions. It was a wonderful opportunity to connect and reconnect with Restorative colleagues and share the Restorative work of our diverse communities.
Our Lady of the Sacred Heart College - Alice Springs and
Southern Montessori School
July was a fantastic month for our CRJ team. Amanda our Restorative Services educator travelled to Mparntwe in Arrernte country, spending the day working with the Our Lady of the Sacred Heart College community. Then for a vast change of scenery from Central Australia, she spent time working with the Southern Montessori School community in a perfect venue on the beautiful South Australian coast. Both professional development workshops provided foundational Restorative Practice theory and opportunities for practical application of Restorative Practice principles and processes.
