Led by CCEJ's adult education team Iluminar: Training and Coaching for Justice, our relationship-centered trainings introduce the core concepts of Restorative Justice as foundational practices in establishing equitable and just cultures.

What is Restorative Justice?
Restorative Justice is centering relationships in all we do, including when harm happens. Community Building Circles are dialogue-based spaces to build empathy, strengthen community, prevent conflict, and prepare for using Restorative Justice as a way to hold people accountable. This work is rooted in a culture shift away from incarceration & carceral thinking, disposability of human beings, three strikes laws/zero-tolerance policies, racist formal and informal policing, and disproportionately punitive disciplinary models.

Training Summary:
Come experience an interactive introduction to Restorative Justice! In this 2-hour session, you will learn about the foundations of the work, and experience a Restorative Justice Circle. This workshop is designed for people interested in learning more about restorative practices, or who want a refresher on the guiding values of the work.

What to Expect:
All of our trainings and interactive. Participants will practice skills through group discussion, hands-on exercises, experiential Circle activities, roleplays, and feedback from experienced trainers. No session is able to be observed passively.

We offer an in-person training in Fall 2022 and a virtual training in Spring 2023. Please be sure you are signing up for the right option for you.
