RJ-309: Restorative Justice Facilitation and Skill Building Intensive

3 credit hours

This is an intensive skill-building workshop in restorative practices. The focus is on developing facilitation skills necessary for hosting restorative dialogues. We will develop skills for both “restorative circles” and “restorative conferences,” two distinct and commonly used restorative practices. Each requires three distinct skill-sets: pre dialogue preparation and assessment skills; dialogue facilitation; and post-dialogue mentoring and support skills. The course is highly experiential with intensive role play and debriefing. This course can be used to satisfy University Studies requirements.
