The Introduction to Restorative Justice course will be delivered by Janine Carroll & Catherine O'Connell, while the trainers of the Restorative Responses to Serious Harm will be Tim Chapman and Gael Cochrane. There are still places for participants, early bird registration is available until 30 October. For more information please visit our website.

| 11th international EFRJ conference |
The 11th international EFRJ conference "Justice beyond borders" is scheduled on 24-26 June 2021 in Sassari (Sardinia, Italy). The event was originally planned in 2020, postponed because of the Covid-19 pandemic. Today we launch a new call for abstracts, looking forward to your creative workshop proposals to contribute to the conference programme! The call closes on 23 November, and if it is as successful as last year (168 abstracts received!) we will definitely not postpone the deadline, so please be on time.
At the same time, we ask your opinion about our events in 2021: given the current uncertainties, should we continue with Sassari 2021? If not, what else can the EFRJ propose to keep our community together while waiting for Sassari 2022? Fill in this survey by 9 November: your opinion matters to us! |

| Restorative Justice Week 2020 |
 |
|
The international Restorative Justice Week is taking place this year between 15 - 22 November. The EFRJ highlights two topics as the focus of this year's edition: 1.) the significance of non-punitive justice responses to the harms caused by the Covid-19 pandemic and its repercussions to the various communities; and 2.) the expanding awareness of restorative justice's benefits and its applicability to a wide range of contexts. Like other years, we encourage our members to organise their local events and share information with us through our online form before 5 November 2020. You can also download the RJWeek banner image from our website and use it to communicate about the events. |

| Good practice guide for virtual restorative justice |
| Why Me? - the UK based restorative justice organisation has published a detailed practice guide on implementing restorative justice virtually. It is a very useful resource for practitioners who now work remotely or will do so in the future. The Covid-19 pandemic and the lockdown measures have made many organisations consider this option, the EFRJ has also published several reports of international meetings exploring the challenges of online restorative work on The Restorative Blog. We are glad that the reports - among other resources - had been useful in the writing of this guide. |

| Moment of Inspiration - ´Just Arts´ |
 |
|
A four weeks long free virtual social justice art festival is taking place now (9-30 October 2020) hosted by Olney Theatre. Themes of social justice pillars – equity, participation, rights, access – are introduced through theatre performances and conversations with artists and activists. The streaming is available on the Online Theatre Centre’s website and YouTube channel. If you cannot wait until December to watch art works related to justice, this is a great warm-up for REstART.
