➡️ Restorative Justice Week stars every year on the 3rd Sunday of November! 

This year’s Restorative Justice Week will run from November 20th to November 26th in order to celebrate and spread the idea that Justice should be based on restoring human connections.  

In lieu of imprisonment or other forms of legal punishment, Restorative Justice focuses on establishing contact between the perpetrator and the victim. The Restorative Justice program gives individuals a chance to accept accountability for the harm they have caused. It seeks to lessen the victims’ sense of rage and helplessness.  

The eight days are devoted to encouraging tales, insightful recommendations, and promoting legislation. 

The European Forum for Restorative Justice highlights that the key theme for this year’s Restorative Justice Week is the significance of ‘access to restorative justice’, a benefit that still can’t be accessed by many.

 The Probationet project foresees the setup of a training course to extend and develop the competencies of individuals involved in the Probation system, including probation staff, police and prison staff with particular emphasis on Restorative Justice. This will be a b-learning training course and will be available in the English, Italian, Greek, Portuguese, Bulgarian and Turkish languages.
