Calling all young adults, ages 18-30! Join us for an incredible week of hands-on exploration of what restorative justice looks like in Chicago!
MCC’s Restorative Justice Peace Camp is a learning experience for young adults eager to dive into the creative ways to implement justice in local communities. Chicago is leading the way with its community-based restorative justice hubs that keep young people out of the school-to-prison pipeline and engage returning citizens as they reenter their communities. Visiting with experienced practitioners in Chicago and studying restorative justice approaches together, we will witness how transformation is possible.
Goal for participants:
- Understand restorative justice as a movement and lifestyle and will gain tools for living out RJ practices in daily life, as individuals and in community.
- Experience RJ processes, learning concepts through embodied practice.
Interact with experienced RJ practitioners working in Chicago, having the opportunity to witness and explore examples of RJ work on the ground. - Wrestle with the connections between faith and justice, exploring conditions that create accountability, healing and restoration in justice processes.
- Participate in the creative expression of justice through art, poetry, music, movement and more.
Registration costs $250 and all other expenses are covered, including travel, lodging and food! Don’t miss this amazing opportunity. ($50 registration fee for participants local to the Chicago area.)
