2014. 09. 03.

 

International workshop presenting the preliminary findings of the Hungarian and Austrian action research sites in the ALTERNATIVE project

A critical dialogue about the potential of restorative justice approaches (RJ) to peaceful co-existence in intercultural contexts in the CEE region on 6-7 November 2014 in Budapest, Hungary.

See: survey.foresee.hu/index.php

Thinking out Loud about Justice and Security

The conference is organised by the Foresee Research Group in partnership with the Institute for the Sociology of Law and Criminology (IRKS), within the framework of the ALTERNATIVE Project (Restorative justice in intercultural settings - 2012-2016, Consortium leader: KULeuven - Leuven Institute of Criminology (LINC), receiving funding from the European Union’s Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) for research, technological development and demonstration under grant agreement no. 285368)

What is the potential of the restorative approach to conflict resolution in promoting peaceful co-existence in communities known as intercultural contexts in the CEE region?

Under which conditions and in what specific ways may restorative practices (such as mediation, conferencing and peacemaking circles) support communities described as intercultural context.

With whom?

This workshop intends to make a link between 1.) professionals dealing with peaceful conflict resolution techniques (e.g. mediators, restorative practitioners), 2.) stake-holders affected by or responsive to conflicts in intercultural contexts (e.g. policy makers, representatives of municipalities, minority representatives) and 3.) fellows from the research/academic field.

Why?

The aim of the workshop is to present the preliminary findings from Hungary and Austria – the two action sites within the ALTERNATIVE project dealing with conflict-resolution in intercultural communities – and to offer space and time for critical discussion and further input for the research.

What do we attempt? 

During these two interactive days we shall think loudly and collectively on the intersections of restorative justice and intercultural settings as well as giving meaning to safety, security, justice, community, exclusion, minorities and participation – that constitute the conceptual fabric of the ALTERNATIVE project.

How?

1. Researchers and practitioners introduce the action research sites and show films from the locations.

2. Presentations on the state of arts and on the preliminary findings, facilitated by an invited opponent expert (in a fish-bowl setting) followed by a concluding round-table of the involved researchers.

3. At certain points participants can reflect and contribute in circle-discussions and thematic workshops. Furthermore, there will be an open space for exhibitions or pitch talks, where each participant can briefly summarise her mission/activities and voice her message. 

The language of the workshop is English.
