Description
The restorative approach to conflict resolution is a comprehensive method for everyone in the school with the aim to create a better environment.The method focuses on building strong, inclusive communities driven by positivity and uses the same principles for both prevention and repairing relationships after a conflict has occurred.
In this workshop we will concentrate on the restorative classroom which is built upon the combination of three key elements:
1. Developing: Young people need the skills and confidence necessary to build and cultivate relationships.
2. Maintaining: Young people need a vocabulary to express their thoughts, feelings, and needs, they need to learn how to listen to the others point of views and to develop communication skills which enable them to maintain relationships.
3. Repairing: Young people need to learn effective strategies for addressing conflicts and challenges in constructive ways, leading to mutually acceptable outcomes.
The organizing encourages active participation. Through practical exercises and tangible tools, we will demonstrate how dialogue can foster safe and inclusive communities. The underlying philosophy, methods, and tools presented in this workshop are rooted in a restorative approach, combined with extensive experience in the field of education. This workshop is designed to equip participants with practical tools and exercises that promote dialogue, understanding, and community building.
Goals:
• Learn methods for creating good communication skills
• Learn techniques for establishing a safe space for sharing experiences and feelings.
• Acquire specific tools and exercises for managing conflicts and rebuilding relationships.
