Restorative Justice Art: Supporting Migrant Integration Across Europe

This evidence-based e-course aims to train educators, creative and cultural professionals working with migrants on restorative justice art, and the main expressions that this approach might take for community cohesion.

Furthermore, the e-course introduces the trainees to the values of restorative justice and gives them a methodological approach that combines the community cohesion abilities of creative art with restorative values as a means of restoring injustice and balancing power, especially in light of recent challenges due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The e-course is structured around 7 modules. Each module is composed of several units.
