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:
This training includes skill-building experiences and opportunities for self-reflective work to empower us to respond to challenges with others through a relationship-centered lens. We explore the following dialogue skills that affirm positive relationships and provide interventions to shift relationships towards accountability and self-directed actions: Affective Statements, Restorative Questions, Active Listening, and Motivational Interviewing.

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.

Virtual training links will be provided after registration.
