Unfortunately the pandemic continues to significantly impact prisoners and we remain unable to deliver RESTORE in HMP Eastwood Park. While for many of us life is slowly starting to open up, many people in prison continue to be sealed off even from their loved ones. We will keep you updated and very much hope that the situation changes soon.
In the meantime we continue to do what we can to adapt our work and share our knowledge and learning. So we are very excited to share with you our new course, Working with stories of lived experience, which is running online from July to September 2021.
Drawing on 17 years of learning and practice from The Forgiveness Project, this is a skills-based course offering a unique combination of tools, techniques and knowledge for anyone working in such fields as Criminal Justice, Conflict Resolution, Social Care, Mental Health and Well Being, Community Arts and Social Justice.
The course explores approaches and perspectives relating to forgiveness, restorative narratives, shame and resilience. It builds participants’ knowledge and practice of the use of storytelling in their work. In addition it offers new and innovative approaches to working with individuals and groups, in order to support participants to develop resilience and empathetic relationships with clients and colleagues.
The course will be facilitated by Sandra Barefoot, The Forgiveness Project’s Programme Development Lead, with Marina Cantacuzino MBE, Founder of The Forgiveness Project. The course will also include input from our storytellers from The Forgiveness Project.
“A fascinating insight and beautifully-led journey into and through the sensitive and difficult areas of harm, shame, forgiveness and healing.” – Previous Course Participant
