2020 CALL FOR PRESENTERS | ALBERTA RESTORATIVE JUSTICE ASSOCIATION
created: Jul 7, 2020
The Alberta Restorative Justice Association is proudly hosting the 14th annual Alberta Restorative Justice Conference on November 19 – 20, 2020; on the international stage through the use of a virtual platform. This year’s conference will continue the tradition of providing thought provoking and challenging discussions on topics related to the transformative potential of restorative justice in communities.
The theme this year is Restorative Justice: Community, Collaboration, Commitment. Restorative justice is constantly evolving and improving how the world deals with harm and conflict, and it is not just limited to the criminal justice system. We believe that restorative justice can be applied in a variety of ways to address diverse situations anytime, anyplace, and anywhere!
Topics of interest that might address the theme include:
– Restorative justice approaches to issues in different cultural contexts – Victim participation in restorative justice – Restorative justice in the criminal justice system, in schools, and in the community – Restorative justice in Canada and abroad – Restorative justice in everyday life – Lessons learned and best practices – Restorative justice and “real life empowering experiences” that inspire – Adapting Restorative Justice to a virtual realm
This list is not exhaustive. All ideas that might examine restorative justice in the context of community, collaboration and commitment are welcome and will be duly considered.
