The aim of restorative practices is to develop community and to manage conflict and tensions by repairing harm and building relationships. It can provide a forum whereby those most directly affected by wrongdoing come together to determine what needs to be done to repair the harm and prevent a reoccurrence. It allows the act to be rejected, whilst acknowledging the intrinsic worth of the person and their potential contribution to society.

The project will look:

- For the practitioners and organisations to provide an explicit framework in relation to their practice which aims at improving relationships on the grounds of values shared by the community;

- To target challenging attitudes and behaviour ultimately aiming at addressing and repairing conflict and any harm caused.

- To provide a common vocabulary both in ethos and actions for the organisations and professionals involved in different services.

- Staff working in the target areas will be trained in restorative practices to deliver on the outcomes stated above. The particular expertise of both regions will mutually develope practice.

Workshop on Restorative Practices as a Tool to Manage Conflicts. 


Last Tuesday 10th January we met at the CEP of  Palma for our first training workshop. We were 40 attendants from very different sectors of society: education, police, social services... Restorative practices exposed by Vicenç Rul·lan generated much expectation and controversy and we lacked time to resolve all doubts. We look forward to welcoming our partners in Hull to learn more about this type of strategy.

Las prácticas restaurativas expuestas por Vicenç Rul·lan generaron mucha expectación y polémica y nos faltó tiempo para resolver todas las dudas. Estamos deseando recibir a nuestros socios de Hull para aprender más sobre este tipo de estrategias.
