How can we respond to youth conflict in a way that heals rather than punishes?
How do we create inclusive spaces - physical, emotional and cultural - where young people feel heard, respected and empowered?
This eBook brings together the collective experience of FOR-J, an Erasmus+ project co-funded by the EU, working across Italy, Romania, Belgium and Slovenia to promote restorative justice practices in youth and educational settings.
Inside, you’ll find practical tools, real-world insights and co-designed methods developed with and for youth workers, educators and young people. From dialogue circles and peer mediation, to digital storytelling, storymapping and multisensory spaces, each chapter offers reflections and strategies to foster empathy, accountability and belonging.
Whether you're new to restorative approaches or looking to deepen your practice, this book offers an honest, hands-on look at what it takes to turn values like inclusion and repair into everyday action.

Conflict is a natural part of growing up, but in today’s Europe, it’s taking on new forms and deeper meanings. Young people are navigating increasingly diverse environments, shaped by migration, identity, inequality and the need for recognition. When these needs are unmet, tensions arise, not always loudly, but often profoundly. Understanding these dynamics is the first step toward supporting meaningful change.
