The Areas of Intervention
Processes for Reparation
Processes for juvenile offenders and their victims, consolidated through the project RICOMINCIAMO (LET’S START OVER) managed by ASAI, Terremondo, the Turin Municipal Community Policing Unit, and the Public Prosecutor’s Office at the Juvenile Court of Piedmont and Valle d’Aosta, and the Turin Center for Mediation.
Processes in Schools
In cooperation with secondary schools, ASAI designs and implements various restorative processes as an alternative to disciplinary suspension, using our experience in the field of criminal justice. This makes it possible to work preventatively against the commission of crimes and to prepare educational interventions aimed at making children aware of and take responsibility for the consequences of their behavior. At the same time, it provides the space for victims (peers, teachers, school workers, families) to participate and be acknowledged and creates a dialogue between the adults responsible for the children involved. In addition, there are ongoing training courses for students and teachers, with workshops for raising awareness of conflict resolution.
Education and Training
There are training courses aimed at guardians, volunteers, and workers on restorative justice methodology, with the support of experts in the field.
Active Community Engagement
The families of offenders and victims, classmates, citizens, area associations, and institutions take ownership of the conflict and its resolution.
Creation of Networks
Networks are formed by community centers, schools, and public and private entities, all working together to create a restorative culture.
Round Tables
Meetings and discussion spaces between school leaders, law enforcement, the Public Prosecutor’s Office and area associations.
Support
Support is available to institutions and associations interested in initiating restorative processes.
