Relationship Builder

Education can be an empowering process for students when the learning environment is primed for positive supportive relationship building and trust among students and staff. Restorative Justice practices, based on Indigenous practices, have been demonstrated to create more connected positive, healing-centered learning environments and maintain supportive relationships within these environments. Participants reflect on their own process of learning and relationships while learning and practicing restorative justice practices, techniques, and activities. The TREC themes and previously covered techniques and knowledge come together as a means to prepare and empower participants.
