Restorative Practice as a Tool for Advancing Racial Justice
Thursday, June 17, 2021 at 04:30 PM · 47 rsvpsJoin Naaima Khan For Restorative Practice as a Tool for Advancing Racial Justice.
How are we moving toward progress on racial justice and race equity? What are the big questions we need to ask to move nonprofits to action in this realm? Join us for a conversation to explore restorative practice as a means of becoming more action-oriented around racial justice.
We will learn about the basic framework of restorative practice, consider the current state of our communities’ conversations about racial justice/equity and explore the potential that the restorative practice framework offers to advance this work. Conversation participants should be ready to share their experience, wisdom and insights as part of the discussion as is comfortable while creating and honoring a respectful space for others.
