EFRJ conference
Call for proposals: deadline 1 November |
|

We are looking forward to receive your abstract proposals to present during the biannual EFRJ conference (Tirana, 14-16 June 2018). The title of this 10th conference of the EFRJ is Expanding the restorative imagination. Restorative justice between realities and visions in Europe and beyond. Proposals may include different formats (e.g. training, panel discussions, film screenings) and fit the three sub-themes (i.e. RJ in criminal justice, RJ in juvenile justice and RJ as a social movement). The deadline is 1 November!
During the same week, two of our Board members will travel to Tirana. Brunilda Pali and Aarne Kinnunen will meet the local organisers for a first preparatory meeting together with Rasim Gjoka from the Albanian Foundation for Conflict Resolution. |
