The RÖNSY webinar took place in a bright atmosphere 21.11.2024

ByJanne Johansson

The VERSO programme participated in the International Restorative Justice Week (RJ week) by organising the annual RÖNSY webinar on 22.11.2024 with the theme "Glimpses of Light". Although we live in a polarised world, we have the opportunity in every encounter to bring light and restoration! The discussions and joint work of the event produced many glimmers of light despite the challenging times. To view the VERSO programme's achievements presented in the webinar, please access the webinar presentation Observations on effectiveness -diakoosteesta. In addition, we will share the webinar padlet-wall peer-wise ideas. Use the information in your own work too!
