Restorative Justice Symposium - Replay
On November 16 and 17, 2021, the National Correctional Administration Academy organized a hybrid symposium entitled "restorative justice: plural and shifting frontiers".
This symposium brought together around 380 people in person and remotely: probation officers, probation directors, trainee penitentiary services directors, auditors from the National School for the Judiciary, magistrates, prison administration staff, justice professionals and researchers from different disciplines. Live English interpretation has enabled international an online broadcast, particularly to our foreign partners.
After an opening of the symposium by Mr. Christophe Millescamps, director of the ENAP, and by Mr. Paul Mbanzoulou, director of the research, documentation and international relations division, 23 interventions by restorative justice experts (researchers and professionals) followed during these two days, as well as rich exchanges with the public. Gathered around four focuses, the various communications shed light on the appropriation and development of restorative justice in the French context and in the international context during the first day. The second day was an opportunity to question the challenges of training and the professionalization processes that it underlies, then the perspectives of restorative justice and its possible evolutions in different contexts.
The symposium was closed by Mr. Thierry Donard, deputy director of the penitentiary administration, who, after taking stock of the deployment of restorative justice in France, underlined and was delighted with the involvement and the mobilization of the School in this area.
The proceedings of the symposium, published by the Enap press, are already available for order on the Enap website.
