Welcome to Running Solution Circles
Restorative practices are approaches that focus on building positive relationships and community within schools, aiming to reduce disciplinary issues and promote a supportive environment. At the heart of these practices are restorative circles, which are structured meetings where participants sit in a circle and engage in open dialogue, guided by a facilitator. These circles emphasise equality, respect, and active listening, allowing all voices to be heard and fostering a sense of belonging.
The goals of resolution circles include improving relationships among students, creating a safe and inclusive environment, and addressing conflicts constructively.
In this webinar attendees will understand the principles and philosophy behind restorative practices, learning how to facilitate restorative circles and foster meaningful dialogue. They will explore strategies for building a restorative culture in educational settings, addressing conflicts, promoting accountability through restorative justice, and implementing practical steps to embed restorative practices in daily school routines and policies.
