What’s planned?

This training introduces participants to restorative approaches through an interactive and experiential pedagogy. It focuses on key restorative concepts such as empathy, accountability, and conflict resolution, while engaging participants in practical exercises like restorative circles and scenario-based learning. By the end of the training, participants will be equipped with basic skills and strategies to implement restorative practices in their workplace and help foster a positive and inclusive environment.
