Working together with media, civil society organisations and citizens for restorative justice3-4-5 June 2009 Leuven, Belgium/ An international seminar, organised by the European Forum for
Restorative Justice and the Catholic University of Leuven, co-funded by
the European Commission in the framework of the JPEN programme.
The discussion on restorative justice has neglected public opinion and
engagement with respect to this paradigm, despite the importance of
social support and participation in restorative justice. Building social
support for restorative justice will come through building on tendencies
for more democratic participation within societies. With these concerns
in mind, while having as a main goal building social support for
restorative justice, this seminar will address three main questions:
1) How can interaction and cooperation with the media be set up in
order to inform and educate the public about restorative justice?;
2) How can cooperation be developed with civil society
organisations in order to inform and educate the public and to create
broad support for restorative justice?;
3) How can we increase the involvement of individual citizens in
the functioning of local restorative justice programmes?
