We're all set to host our delegates at the Radisson Blu in Cardiff to delve into the vital connection between restorative culture and community empowerment. This conference brings together thought leaders, educators, community practitioners, and stakeholders all dedicated to championing restorative approaches across diverse settings.
James Simon, Chief Executive of the RJC, encapsulates our mission perfectly: “At the core of this conference is the belief in the innate ability of individuals and communities to find their own solutions to challenges. Restorative practice provides essential guiding principles, nurturing supportive cultures and creating frameworks for relational and trauma-informed approaches.” 🙌
Our goal is to create a collaborative environment that explores strategies promoting vibrant community cultures rooted in restorative values. By engaging various organisations—from schools and workplaces to healthcare providers and local governments—we're integrating restorative practices into the very fabric of our communities.
Why is this significant? Our discussions will tackle how a restorative culture can empower communities, enhance well-being, and provide vital support for those at risk of organised crime or other societal challenges. Together, we’ll confront root causes and work towards improving the quality of life for children, families, and individuals.
We’ll also highlight innovative methods to strengthen restorative initiatives within key sectors. By cultivating environments that centre on joy, mutual respect, and safety, we can develop communities that thrive.
As Debbie Watters OBE, Chair of Trustees, aptly put it, "By implementing restorative practices, we focus on effective communication and building meaningful connections, empowering community members with critical thinking skills and resilience."
