Restorative Stories to Support Practice and Process –
1 Day CPD Event - 26th March 2026
Folk tales have traditionally been used in cultures across the world to support compassion building, community building, repairing harm and restoring relationships.
The RJC, in collaboration with Hannah Moore, are holding an innovative Storytelling event to explore the inter-relationship between traditional tales and restorative practice/restorative justice.
In this CPD workshop, we will take you on a journey into how working with stories can support accessible, transformative processes for both participants and facilitators alike, how this tool can enhance work with all ages, and how storytelling can be applied in different RP contexts.
This event is aimed at all colleagues working in the restorative field, including youth and adult justice, social care, health, education and community settings.
Participants will explore:
- Stories that you could bring to different situations and challenges as a starting point for reflection and discussion
- Using traditional stories to create safe spaces for sharing personal stories, exploring lived experience and having difficult conversations
- Using stories to facilitate creative and imaginative exercises for fresh thinking and new ideas - encouraging 'light bulb' moments for participants
- Techniques for how to tell stories and bring them to life vividly
- Looking at how these tools can be applied in all areas of Restorative Practice
