At the EFRJ conference in Tallinn this Summer, we had moments of entertainment and reflection with folk tales from a traditional storyteller with a background in restorative justice facilitation, Hannah Moore.
This Winter Hannah is running two creative sessions with the EFRJ:
- Taster workshop on storytelling and restorative justice (11/12/2024 at 10-11:30 CET): free webinar open to all interested ones! Register here.
- Half-day online workshop on restorative stories (15/01/2025 at 10-13:00 CET): paying event for a closed group of max 24 participants. Register below.
These workshops will use folk and fairy tales that have restorative themes as a launchpad for exploring justice and practice, and developing tools for working restoratively inside and out.
Half-day online workshop on restorative stories
The 3-hour workshop “Restorative Stories” is a deep dive into how folk and fairy tales enhance restorative practice and support restorative culture change within ourselves, our communities, organisations and wider contexts.
Traditional stories challenge us to think afresh about how we choose to be, both individually and collectively. Folk and fairy tales from all over the world resonate like ringing bells with restorative themes such as healing trauma, repairing harm, overcoming conflict, reconciling across divides and cultivating compassion in challenging situations.
These stories can both provoke and inspire. They invite rich discussion and tools for personal and professional development.
In this half-day workshop, Hannah will share a variety of folk tales. Participants will then be invited into exercises that use these stories for creative thinking and deep reflection about living and working restoratively, about how we cultivate a culture of compassion and develop our practices of actively humanising each other in the face of division and polarisation.
This session welcomes practitioners, educators, trainers, facilitators, researchers, students and those interested in how arts support restorative work and culture.
