🏫❤️Implement the practice of restorative justice in the scholastic community.
Ana Maria Solís Domingo Ferrandis SOLIS Srls staff working for For-J project

🏫❤️Implement the practice of restorative justice in the scholastic community.
💬Restorative justice can be used in schools to promote and value empathy, respect, and responsibility in the scholastic community among the students.
In schools, if possible highlight those values ​​through regular discussions, school assemblies, and extracurricular activities. 🗣️🏫🎨
Schools can also promote almost good practices within the scholastic community as success stories and share examples where restorative justice has been applied and was possible to meet the needs of both victims and perpetrators.🌟📖
The school can help students to express their own feelings and participate in the reparative process. Bullies must also receive advice and opportunities to make amends, I will understand the impact of their actions and reintegrate into the scholastic community💬❤️🌱

🌟 Through restorative justice (RJ) we can address the conflicts among young people 🌟
RJ practices can help improve young people's ability to communicate effectively, express their emotions more constructively, and learn to find solutions that allow them to also understand how a victim of aggression feels and also the motivation for the perpetrator's inappropriate behavior. 💬
RJ focuses on repairing harm and promoting understanding rather than punishment, making it an effective method of working with young people. 🤝Therefore, young people acquire skills not only for their personal development but also for life in society. This kind of method helps young people learn to recognize the consequences of their actions take responsibility for them, and understand the importance of doing something to repair the harm caused as well as young people can understand the repercussions of their actions also for their community.💪🌟

Restorative justice is based on the concept that everyone affected by a crime or conflict should have a voice. 🗣️ SOLIS Srls is coordinating the WP2, of For-J project with its staff Ana Maria Solís and Domingo Ferrandis. The For-J project is coordinated by TNC Talent and Creativity ETS

The Restorative justice is based on the concept that everyone affected by a crime or conflict should have a voice. 🗣️This includes not just the victims and offenders, but also their families and the broader community. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 This approach promotes a comprehensive resolution to the issues at hand. By involving the community in resolving harm and supporting both victims and offenders, restorative justice fosters a shared sense of responsibility. 🤝 This approach doesn’t just deal with the immediate aftermath of harm but also works to prevent future conflicts by addressing their root causes. 🌱 Restorative Justice helps build a safer and more just community for all. 🏡 The goal of restorative justice is also about making things right as much as possible. ⚖️ This could be through apologies, restitution, or even community service.🙏🛠️ The aim is to repair the harm done. ❤️‍🩹Another important aspect is helping offenders reintegrate into the community, which can help reduce the likelihood of them reoffending and contribute to a safer environment for everyone.🌍🔒

🌍📸 Using Narration and Photography to Facilitate the Integration of Young Women in Multicultural Environments 🇮🇹

🌍📸 Using Narration and Photography to Facilitate the Integration of Young Women in Multicultural Environments 🇮🇹

In the workshops, in July FUTOUR in Italy is conducting, we've introduced key concepts such as active listening, perspective-taking, and cultural humility. 🗣️👂 These skills are essential for understanding others' experiences and creating an environment of mutual respect and understanding. We've used empathy mapping, a visual tool, to gain deeper insights into people's emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. 💡🧠

Simultaneously, we are exploring narrative photography as a powerful communication tool. 📸✨ Each photograph has the potential to tell a unique story, creating a connection between the image and the viewer, stimulating imagination, and evoking deep emotions. 🎨💭 Visual narration helps create an emotional context through the use of colors, lighting, and visual details, enabling viewers to connect emotionally with the image. 🌈💡

Our young women participants are using AI-based tools to create images that visually represent concepts of empathy in multicultural contexts. 🤖🖼️ This exercise has helped them better visualize and understand others' experiences, reinforcing the importance of empathy as a communication tool. 👫💬 Narrative photography is crucial in this process, enabling the creation of effective visual narratives through key elements such as the protagonist, the physical and temporal context, and the emotional atmosphere. 🌍📸

These workshops demonstrate how the integrated use of narration and photographic technology can promote inclusion and empowerment among young women, providing them with the tools to express their experiences and connect meaningfully with others. 💬✨

🌟 Restorative Justice and Youth Work: A Step Towards Inclusion 🌟

In an increasingly interconnected and diverse world, conflict management becomes crucial for promoting social cohesion and community well-being. Restorative justice emerges as an innovative approach that centers on dialogue, mutual understanding, and repairing harm rather than punishment.

🔍 Restorative justice focuses on repairing the harm caused by wrongdoing through an inclusive process that involves all affected parties. This approach promotes dialogue, empathy, and reconciliation, allowing individuals to understand the impact of their actions and work together to find constructive solutions.
🌍 The Importance for Youth
For young people, restorative justice offers a unique opportunity for learning and growth. Through training programs and practical activities, youth can develop conflict management, effective communication, and problem-solving skills. These abilities not only enhance their interpersonal relationships but also strengthen their capacity to contribute positively to their communities.
🔧 The Role of Youth Workers
Youth workers play a crucial role in implementing restorative justice. Through specialized training, they can acquire the necessary tools to guide young people in conflict resolution and peace-building processes. Moreover, with the use of innovative digital educational tools, youth workers can make these processes more accessible and engaging.
💡 An Innovative Project
The FOR-J project, funded by the Erasmus+ program, is an excellent example of how restorative justice can be integrated into youth work. The project aims to develop innovative digital educational tools and multisensory spaces that facilitate conflict management and promote inclusion. Through digital storytelling activities and pilot action plans, the FOR-J project seeks to share best practices at the European level and build capacity among youth workers.

📈 Long-Term Benefits
Adopting restorative justice in youth work not only helps resolve current conflicts but also builds a solid foundation for a more inclusive and harmonious society. Educating young people on these principles means investing in a future generation capable of facing challenges with empathy and mutual respect.

🌟 Join Us!
Following us the FOR-J project and discover how restorative justice can transform the lives of young people and strengthen our communities. Together, we can make a difference!

Transformation through Art:
The JANUS Methodology, now is implementing at local level. During the month of May:
• The Târgu Mures Art University worked with the target group to adapt the AT methodology. The young people participated in various activities that will shape future sessions.
• On Saturday the 25th, ShipCon held its first meeting with the theater group participating in the JANUS Project. The project objectives were discussed and future meetings were scheduled to test and adapt the methodology to the work environment. The participants are five young women from Limassol, Cyprus, who are deeply connected to the arts and use their bodies as a way to express deep emotions, sometimes indescribable with words.
In Janus project art meets psychology, the JANUS methodology, created by Domingo Ferrandis of SOLIS Srls, stands out as an innovative approach to exploring and addressing mental health. Centered on autobiographical theater and drama therapy, it specifically targets young people with mental health problems, helping them develop resilience and social skills in response to their crises. This approach not only provides an opportunity for self-awareness and emotional expression but also fosters deeper connections between participants, facilitating powerful catharsis and personal transformation.

Transformative Facilitation: A Deeper Dive into the 'Fertilizer for Facilitators' Erasmus Plus Course 🌍✨

The innovative "Fertilizer for Facilitators" program held in the scenic town of Portorož, Slovenia 🌳, not only offered an opportunity for advancing creative facilitation skills 🎨 but also presented a model for transformative educational experiences. This five-day intensive course, from May 13 to 17, 2024, crafted by the seasoned facilitators from Mind@work VOF, Drs. Jan Lelie and Yuen Yen Tsai, under the Erasmus+ program, took place at the TPC Center of Santa Lucia, housed within the Istria Creative Incubator 🏢.

The course aimed to equip facilitators with modern tools and methodologies essential for fostering adult social inclusion and navigating the ever-evolving educational landscape 🌐. Its focus was on advanced facilitation approaches, incorporating tools to enhance participant engagement while fostering emotional and intellectual connections among the facilitators 🧠❤️.

Program Highlights 📚

The training week was structured with a blend of activities designed to maximize learning through engagement and practice. It started with ice-breaking activities to build rapport among participants 👥, which was followed by introductions to basic facilitation techniques and the CPF Framework outlining the core competencies of facilitation. Subsequently, the focus shifted towards perceptual frameworks and tools, exploring the Four Realities Model and integrating tools into facilitation practices. The subsequent sessions centered on design thinking and practical applications, focusing on dealing with interruptions and managing resistance within groups. Participants then developed action planning techniques and collaborated on simulated project work to apply the skills learned. The program concluded with participants practicing evaluation techniques, receiving feedback on project work, and participating in a certification ceremony that recognized their growth and readiness to implement their new skills 📜.

The training environment, supported by the collaborative spirit of the Istria Creative Incubator, provided an ideal backdrop for this educational endeavor. The venue itself, known for promoting creativity and innovation, complemented the course's objectives perfectly, facilitating a blend of traditional learning with modern, digital approaches 💻🎓.

Participant Experience and Professional Development 🌟

Participants provided positive feedback on the course, particularly noting the practicality of the skills acquired. They emphasized how these skills are crucial for managing the continuous change inherent in both individual and organizational development. This perspective reinforces the idea of facilitation as an essential tool in professional settings, where the demands and dynamics are constantly evolving ⏳.

Exploring Facilitation Resources 📖

The course demonstrated the importance of continuous professional development, urging facilitators to remain adaptable and proactive in their learning journey. This approach ensures that facilitators can effectively navigate and lead through the complexities of their environments, fostering a culture of ongoing growth and adaptation.

Further enriching the facilitation dialogue, the accompanying "Facilitation Resources" proposed by Mind@work VOF delved into the nuanced strategies of facilitating change and understanding dynamics within varied group settings. The training underscored the paradoxes of change, introducing facilitation as a dynamic interplay between guiding and adapting to the ever-changing needs of groups and organizations 🔄.

The training provided various facilitation techniques, including sensory, social, united, and mythical approaches to understanding and interacting with reality. Each technique is associated with different aspects of reality and facilitates different types of change, applicable in scenarios ranging from personal development to organizational change, managing group dynamics, enhancing communication, and fostering innovation and creativity through structured facilitation practices 🗣️🌈.

Educational Principles and Practical Applications 📘

The course was based on several key educational principles that shape its framework and objectives. These include a focus on learning rather than merely teaching, emphasizing the development and application of facilitation skills in a practical context. Additionally, the course promotes focusing on individual and group strengths instead of weaknesses, fostering a more positive and effective learning environment. Another fundamental principle is the cultivation of a community-oriented approach, where shared responsibility for learning outcomes encourages collaboration and mutual support among participants. These principles ensure that the skills imparted are not only absorbed but also utilized in ways that support ongoing professional growth and adaptability 🌱.

The "Fertilizer for Facilitators" course, funded by the program under project number 2023-1-IT02-KA122-ADU-000143524, specifically aimed at enhancing creative and digital skills for artistic facilitators. It is part of the KA122-ADU - Short-term projects for the mobility of learners and staff in adult education. This course is designed to build solid foundations for future facilitators, enhancing their ability to navigate and lead in continually evolving educational settings 🛠️.

SOLIS Srls , the coordinating organization, along with supporting partners such as FUTOUR played pivotal roles in realizing this program. Their commitment to enhancing educational methodologies shone through their meticulous planning and ex*****on of the course 🏆.

For further details on this transformative program and future sessions, interested individuals are encouraged to visit the SOLIS Srls website or contact the project coordinator directly at [email protected]. This course not only represented a significant advancement in educational facilitation but also marked a meaningful step towards creating inclusive and adaptive learning environments across Europe 🌍.
