The European Forum for Restorative Justice is organizing a series of workshops in February 2012. These workshops are an integral part of the EU co-funded project ‘Victims and restorative justice' which is currently being implemented by the Forum, with the cooperation of Victim Support Europe and in partnership with researchers and service providers in Finland, Austria and the Netherlands. The project consists of empirical research into the experience of victims who have participated in or have been offered participation in victim-offender mediation. The main aim of the workshops is to actively discuss these preliminary findings and debate what the role of victims in restorative justice is and ought to be.

The number of available places for each of the workshops is limited to 25, the admission fee is 30 Euro. All this information, together with the registration form, will be available on the Forum's website.
