Workshop on Restorative Justice


Wednesday March 12, 2025

5:00 PM – 6:30 PM (CET)

Have you recognized that mainstream approaches to resolving conflicts involving children (at home or at school) don’t “work” as well as authority figures think they do?

Perhaps you’ve been yearning for an approach that is more peaceful, more sustainable, and that helps you nurture strong relationships with children?

If so, you have been searching for Restorative Justice.

This workshop will introduce the principles of Restorative Justice and help tackle some of the barriers that keep people from embracing it in their lives.

Who can join?

Teachers, parents, and anyone interested in learning about Restorative Justice.

Is there a fee?

This workshop is FREE and open to all!

Meet the facilitators

Sifaan Zavahir and Dileepa Manawadu bring with them the lived experience of a commitment to exclusively adopt Restorative Justice with their child (10 years) and the children at Kinder Republic (Sri Lanka’s first and only Democratic School, 4 years)
