FULL! Next open RESTO training in autumn 2024

Update 22 May: This training group is full. You can follow information about upcoming open RESTO training courses on our website or request a quote for on-demand training. Read more From the RESTO training page!

The next open RESTO training group will start in August 2024 and you can easily join the remote training from all over Finland!

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!

Time and place:

  1. Section Thu-Fri 22.-23.8.2024 ENÄ
  2. Section Wed-Thu 25.-26.9.2024 ENÄ
  3. Episode to 31.10.2024 ENÄ

We work on training days from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. The training is delivered via a distance learning platform.

Price 250€/participant.

The trainer is Nina Huhtinen, VERSO trainer and mediator.
