13th International Seminar of the European Forum for Restorative Justice (EFRJ)

• Theme: “Transformative Potential of Restorative Justice to Address Vulnerabilities Faced by Children on the Move”

• Details: This seminar will explore how restorative practices can support children affected by displacement, fostering inclusion and resilience.

The 13th International Seminar of the EFRJ (Athens, 16-17 May 2025) will focus on the transformative potential of restorative justice to address the vulnerabilities faced by children on the move. From refugees and asylum seekers to those displaced by climate change, these children face heightened risks of violence, exploitation, and discrimination. By drawing on the metaphor of an ‘odyssey,’ this seminar will explore how restorative practices can create pathways of inclusion, resilience, and empowerment for children on the move while fostering dialogue with host communities. The seminar will take place at the Conference Center of the University of West Attica, and is organised in collaboration with the Department of Social Work and the Centre for the Study of Social and Humanitarian Crises.
