Good news! We have a vacancy in our training calendar for an open RESTO training group for spring 2025 and remote implementation is available from all over Finland. Read more below and register by 28.2., the course will be filled in order of registration!
The Restorative and Conciliatory Community (more commonly known as RESTO training) provides participants with the knowledge and skills to implement a restorative approach and mediation in their own work and in different conflict situations. The training is practical and collaborative. The training will provide the necessary material for practical work, which each participant can use in their own community in the way they wish. The content of the training sessions will be based on the participants' insights, experiences and discussions, so each group will create its own course.
NOTE! We strongly recommend that 2-4 staff representatives from each learning community attend the training. This will allow for a more effective transfer of the restorative approach to their own community and for mediation to be carried out in pairs where necessary.
The training is a process, which requires attendance at all stages. At the end of the training, the participant will have an understanding of restorative thinking, inclusion and encounter. The participant will also be able to use the process of restorative mediation in everyday conflict situations.
Target group:
The training is targeted at staff in charge of education and training in nurseries, schools and educational institutions. You are welcome to join us from anywhere in Finland and this training is completely remote!
