The Practicing Restorative Justice Conference will be co-hosted by Consensus Council and Minnesota State University Moorhead in Moorhead, Minnesota, on April 7-10, 2025. We invite breakout session proposals for our April 2025 gathering. This is a wonderful opportunity to share your expertise, experiences, and ideas with attendees seeking to deepen their understanding of restorative justice and related topics.
We encourage a wide range and diverse set of proposals that align with one of our conference themes: Justice, Education, Community, or Culture. Sessions may explore, but are not limited to, the following topics:
- Applications of restorative justice in schools, juvenile justice, adult corrections, churches, and other community entities
- Research and evaluation on restorative practices and programs
- Philosophy and framework of restorative justice
- Stories from the field, lessons learned, and best practices
- Cultural perspectives on restorative justice
- Personal stories of those impacted by restorative practices
Submission deadline: January 10, 2025. Please submit proposals here. Thank you!
Conference attendees will include educators, practitioners, justice professionals, researchers, social workers, clergy, mental health providers, students, community members. For more information, contact Elizabeth Hilt, .
