Creating a Restorative City
9:00 am – 10:15 am
Community Foundation of Greater Greensboro Boardroom, 330 S. Greene Street
Here are directions & a parking pass
Haley will share her current work with the Whanguanui Restorative City Initiative in New Zealand to support the integration of restorative justice into the city’s systems, structures, and culture. Recognizing that Greensboro has its own legacy around Truth and Reconciliation, which was informed by a South African example, how might Restorative Justice, as practiced in New Zealand, contribute to efforts to make Greensboro a place where all feel safe, respected, and protected?
What Does Restorative Justice Look Like 20 Years in the Future?
12:00-1:00pm (bring your lunch, we’ll provide drinks)
Pecky Cypress Room of the Alumni House, UNCG
Here are directions and parking instructions.
At times, New Zealand feels like it is decades ahead of the U.S. in its implementation and use of Restorative Justice, but it hasn’t always been a smooth road to success. Are there lessons we can learn from our friends in the South Pacific? Haley will share a brief history of the New Zealand restorative journey and highlight key points of difference with the U.S., and lead a discussion regarding the path forward.
