| Leuven team in action: support the refugee walk |
| Part of the EFRJ team, together with colleagues from the KU Leuven Institute of Criminology, will participate to the Refugee Walk (Flanders, 30 September). This is not just a sport challenge, but a symbolic effort to reflect and take action in support of those who undertake long and dangerous journeys in search of a better life and protection and try to be “in their shoes” even just for a moment and without all the real and unimaginable dangers and struggles migrants go through in their journeys. |

Remember the booklet “Restorative Imagination: Artistic Pathways“, published on the occasion of the #RJWeek 2017, a collection of articles on the intersections between arts and RJ? The photographer Catilina Sherman, together with criminal lawyer and mediator Diletta Stendardi, contributed with the article “Il bagatt”, linking the cobbler and RJ, both aiming at repairing something broken. Now, the photos of Catilina’s project are to sell: click here to watch them all! |
