BUILDING SOCIAL SUPPORT FOR RESTORATIVE JUSTICE:
Working with Media, Civil Society Organisations, and Citizens

Leuven, 3-4-5 June 2009

An International Seminar, organized by the European Forum for Restorative Justice (EFRJ) and the Catholic University of Leuven (KUL), funded by/in collaboration with the European Commission in the framework of JPEN 2007

The discussion on restorative justice has neglected public opinion and engagement with respect to this paradigm, despite the importance of social support and participation in restorative jus­tice. Building social support for restorative justice will come through building on tendencies for more democratic participation within societies. With these concerns in mind, while having as a main goal building social support for restorative justice, this seminar will address three main questions:

1) how can interaction and cooperation with the media be set up in order to inform and educate the public about restorative justice?;

2) how can cooperation be developed with civil society organisations in order to inform and educate the public and to create broad support for restorative justice?;

3) how can we increase the involvement of individual citizens in the functioning of local restor­ative justice programmes?
