Membership

Join the Forum

The Swiss RJ Forum currently has just over 100 members in all three language regions. Members are interested in the implementation of restorative justice in the Swiss legal system – no special previous knowledge is required to participate in the work of the Forum. Curiosity and a willingness to contribute to the implementation of restorative justice are sufficient and welcome.

Among the members, you will find many lawyers, mediators, professionals working in the field of criminal justice and victim support, as well as victims of crime who have participated in RJ projects.

Members have access to information about everything that is happening in the field of restorative justice in Switzerland, including ongoing RJ projects. They receive Forum newsletters and information on events and training opportunities.

Members pay a modest annual fee, currently a minimum of CHF 30.00 which is used for the work of the Forum. There may be an additional fee for the regional groups.
