Courses on restorative justice
The Swiss RJ Forum offers both online and in-person courses on restorative justice. We offer these in various languages (English, German, French, Italian), most of which are delivered by European experts in restorative justice and in collaboration with the EFRJ.
Our courses are generally open to the public except for some offered only for Forum members or specific professions.
Our webinars are typically offered at no cost to Forum members, who also receive a discount on select courses taught by our board members or Forum members. Additionally, student discounts are available on select courses. We also consider financial hardship cases.
