Event Description: |
An international seminar, organised by the European Forum for Restorative
Justice and the Catholic University of Leuven, co-funded by the European
Commission in the framework of the JPEN programme.
The discussion on restorative justice has neglected public opinion and
engagement with respect to this paradigm, despite the importance of social
support and participation in restorative justice. Building social support
for restorative justice will come through building on tendencies for more
democratic participation within societies. With these concerns
in mind, while having as a main goal building social support for
restorative justice, this seminar will address three main questions:
1) How can interaction and cooperation with the media be set up in order
to inform and educate the public about restorative justice?;
2) How can cooperation be developed with civil society organisations in
order to inform and educate the public and to create broad support for
restorative justice?;
3) How can we increase the involvement of individual citizens in the
functioning of local restorative justice programmes?
The documents of the seminar can be found in the European Forum for
