Period: December 2019 – April 2022
Client/Partner: European Forum on Restorative Justice (researcher) and KU Leuven (Project co-coordinator)
The RE-JUSTICE project aimed to develop a specialised training on restorative justice for judges and public prosecutors across the EU. The kind of training programme provided in the RE-JUSTICE project is of key importance in addressing the lack of information and of awareness about restorative justice, and in doing so achieving harmonised quality standards in all Member State, to make restorative justice accessible for all.
Focusing on the topic of criminal law and the implementation of the Victim’s Directive 2012/29/EU, the RE-JUSTICE training project targeted the professional groups of judges and public prosecutors, that for approximately 20 years have been identified by multiple European bodies and actors, as presenting a need for training in this particular area.
RE-JUSTICE is a project that aimed at promoting, through training, a sustainable way to the process of raising awareness, building knowledge and developing skills and attitudes on restorative justice amongst the judges and public prosecutors, firstly and mainly in Greece, Spain and Italy and, ultimately, to contribute to the promotion of the same process at the 27 EU MS level.
With the European Forum for Restorative Justice, I provided expertise on coordination and on training and advocacy materials design and development. Most importantly, I co-designed the Manual for trainers on restorative justice for judges and public prosecutors with a rich training package with handouts, video materials and additional resources, and advocacy materials.
Additionally, I co-managed the project for KU Leuven, the lead organization for RE-Justice, and I was resposible for the management and coordination of the consortium of 10 European partners; co-design and development of the training materials on restorative justice for judges and public prosecutors; coordination of several events and delivery of training sessions in Italy, Greece and Spain.
