Walking toward conflict: Restorative Circles and Systems

A practice of restorative justice


We are very happy to announce that Dominic Barter will be coming to Lyon

for an interactive presentation evening, a two-day introductory event and a three-day

deepening event of Restorative Circles and Systems.


Introduction

After Bordeaux and Paris, we are very happy to announce that Dominic Barter will be coming to Lyon, France. Dominic Barter lives in Brazil. In the 1990's, he initiated the Restorative Circles approach (Circulos Restaurativos) with residents of Rio de Janeiro’s favelas, in order to provide a collective response to violence and injustice. This work has been acknowledged and supported by the Brazilian departments of Justice and Education and now extends to more than 25 countries. Whether in the field of justice or education, in the workplace, in militant or volunteering activities, in neighborhoods or in families, conflicts and the way we respond to them are often experienced as painful and unsatisfactory.

During this learning event, we will be given the opportunity to :

  • understand conflict in a systemical way, as a symptom of imbalance or lack within a community or an organization,
  • consider conflict in a stimulating and meaningful way as a potential for change and evolution at the heart of our lives, communities and organization,
  • come out of a punitive logic based on coercion and fear and go toward a restorative approach, based on restoring attachment, meaning, integrity and self-responsibility,
  • learn how to set up the necessary conditions to manage conflict in a way that is respectful, safe, responsible and satisfactory for everyone,
  • experiment with how to support the setup of this system designed to respond to conflicts within our networks and organizations.

We are looking forward to participating to this learning event and meeting you there!
