June 20-22, 2023 Portland Community College, Cascade Campus Portland, OR
The NW Justice Forum fosters the gathering of individuals committed to, or interested in learning about, the principles and values of Restorative Justice. We gather to increase understanding, share practical application, ensure cultural inclusion, and explore theoretical implications of living and working restoratively in the Northwest.
This year, the Forum is highlighting creative expressions of restorative justice, including through the arts (theatrical performance, storytelling, visual art, music, poetry, etc.) or other methods of inspired communication or expression.
Theme: Expressions of Restorative Justice
Three key areas of focus for the conference are:
Restorative Justice Inspires: What does RJ sound like, look like, feel like in your practice and your community?
Restorative Justice Supports Truth-Telling: What important stories and experiences does RJ allow to be better heard?
Restorative Justice Incorporates: What other work in our community is intersecting with RJ?
If you are interested in submitting a proposal to present or perform at this year's Forum, please see our Workshop RFP here and our Art/Performance RFP here!
