In an effort to engage and inspire young minds passionate about social well-being, social policy and related fields, the RISe Foundation and Aġenzija Żgħażagħ are organising a youth centered seminar on restorative justice in Malta and Gozo.
Endorsed by the University of Malta, the event is scheduled for Saturday, 9th March 2024, from 8:30am to 12:40pm, and will be held at Aġenzija Żgħażagħ Youth Village.
Participants will have the opportunity to delve into the world of restorative justice, alongside professionals in the field. The seminar will cover a variety of topics, ranging from restorative practices, supporting victims, and enhancing community safety. Additionally, there will be a discussion about alternative potentials of detention houses, rehabilitation, and community integration.
The goal is to encourage participants to share their thoughts, exchange ideas, and collaborate on innovative solutions that address the unique challenges faced by the Maltese community.
There will be a Youth Panel, where representatives from each workshop will share their findings and ideas to provide insight into the understanding of detention houses. The aim is to encourage the youth to voice their ideas and opinions, as well as encourage an inclusive conversation on justice and community well-being. The organisers of this seminar hold the belief that youth’s perspectives are valuable.
Organisers emphasise this being a great opportunity for positive change. Participation in this seminar can contribute to shaping the future of justice.
