  • Conference B Ooklet
    Conference B o o k l e t _____________ 1 2 Welcome, to the participants of the 6th conference and the 10th anniversary of the European Forum for Restorative Justice to the city of Bilbao for a conference on restorative justice (RJ), on its current practices and future developments. We have this year the opportunity to enjoy this unique city, thanks to the generous hospitality of the Basque Government. After 10 exciting and fruitful years of RJ in Europe, many countries have now services of Victim Offender Mediation. Others are starting to work with RJ principles. The European Forum for Restorative Justice (EFRJ) has been instrumental for these developments through the implementations of several projects, publications and conferences. In the 6th biennial conference we celebrate 10 years of the European Forum and we launch for the first time a European Restorative Justice Award. This award is presented to a person or an organisation as recognition for their contribution to the development of RJ in Europe. In the light of important suggestions from our members we focus during this conference on themes involving the practitioners and the methods used in RJ. We would like to show the width and breadth of methods used throughout the continent. Several countries are presenting their way of doing RJ for the participants to become familiar with these different methods and to understand the reasons of their development. Over the years positive developments like Conferencing have taken place in the field of RJ. The EFRJ is currently implementing a research project that looks at the development and use of Conferencing in Europe and beyond.
