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 https://www.hannahmoore.co.uk/ , 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.
