CRJI at South Inner City Community Development Association Celebrations


CRJI director Harry Maguire travelled to Dublin on 5th July 2012 to speak at a Seminar organized as part South Inner City Community Development Association’s 30th year celebration. 

The event was in keeping with some of the work we have been engaged in over the last few months that has been very much island focused. Firstly CRJI Newry & South Armagh have been awarded funding by the Co Louth Peace and Reconciliation Partnership that has been the first of its kind for CRJI. 

This is a first step for us as we seek to build relationships in different areas of the Island of Ireland. In keeping with this theme we have been engaged with the Restorative Justice Forum (NI) in developing an all island event that would be focused on raising awareness around the extent and use of Restorative Practice across a wide and varied range of society. 

Now to return to our Dublin trip we again took the opportunity to engage with like-minded people who wish to build restorative practice in their communities. We also met RJ practitioners from Belgium, Italy and S. Africa. Watch this space.
