CPIL skill series: Restorative Justice - An Introduction to Circle Practice

Based on Aboriginal and indigenous traditions, circles create space for people to share, story tell, explore, and discover in a way that fosters safety, respect and good will. As a restorative practice, circles may be used in a variety of settings including workplaces, schools, institutions, organizations and communities to enhance communication and understanding, support collective responsibility and decision making.  In circle, barriers are broken down and opportunities are created to address everyday issues, concerns and challenges to strengthen relationships, build trust, reconcile differences and possibly heal harm.

 

Students will learn about the restorative practice of circle by experiencing circle and exploring where and when circles may be applied and utilized in meaningful ways.

 

This four-part skills series will focus on the following in a community building context:

Session 1: introduction to restorative philosophy and practice

Session 2: review of circle elements, framework and space

Session 3: power and significance of story telling

Session 4: practical application and possibilities of circle
