Relationships are the most critical building block for all learning. Without strong relationships, young people struggle to gain the safety and security to raise their hand, share an idea, take a risk, or try something new. Conflict is a natural part of life, and must enter every virtual classroom. Equipping young people with mindset, tools and skills to navigate conflict is an important part of social emotional development.

In this session, participants will:

• Learn to see the complexity of multiple perspectives in conflict
• Identify the differences between Criminal Justice and Restorative practices
• Explore the principles of restorative justice to reinforce a behaviour guidance system
• Develop strategies to teach youth to resolve conflicts using win-win thinking
