Fix The Hurt ages 12-14

Tell us about a time when someone hurt someone else (taking something that wasn't theirs, hitting, name-calling, etc.)

How was it fixed in a way that let the two people be friends again?

What part of how it was fixed let the people be friends?


RJ In My Hood ages 15-18

Tell us about real life Restorative Justice that is happening in your community. Or, maybe a situation that could have benefited from a Restorative process.

A community can be your school, neighbourhood, your city, your place of worship, etc.
