Peaceful Genesee -- formerly the Coalition for Nonviolence (see April 29 article) -- is sponsoring "Restoring Dignity: Skill Building for Transforming Conflict," an all-day event that is free and open to the public, on Monday, Sept. 27.
It runs from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. at the YWCA, at 301 North St. in Batavia.
The theme of the event is Restorative Justice, which focuses on the needs of victims, perpetrators and the community as a whole rather than simply on punitive measures. The program will offer people an overview of Restorative Justice, demonstrations in recent initiatives, videos, role plays, discussion of humane conflict resolution, and more.
Refreshments and coffee will be served, and participants will have an hour for lunch. Pre-registration is not required.
