The Israeli Center for Restorative Practices (ICRP)
Facilitated by Dalia Tauber, Founder.
The ICRP was founded in 2012 to focus on learning and developing restorative dialogue, while implementing restorative justice processes. Past activities include initiating and collecting signatures for a restorative justice treaty for Israeli society, and introducing the concept in schools and workplaces. The ICRP facilitates restorative justice in cases of sexual violence, and participated in Givat Haviva’s Roadmap for a Joint Society program, developing a model in which restorative dialogue serves as the basis for discussing and promoting joint living.
The workshop presented the model’s tenets, which participants then practiced applying. The conversation forced on the model’s key questions, which focus on community-building thought and dialogue. By raising and answering questions, participants come to feel a sense of comfort and belonging within joint spaces and a joint society, if they so desire.
