Presentation: Restorative Practice as Peace Practice

Chapter: Building, maintaining and repairing a peaceful culture in school

This chapter in the edited volume Faith and Experience in Education, explores how a peaceful school culture might be built, maintained and repaired when needed. Using vivid stories of peacemaking in schools, I share how to develop restorative ways of working and being “in the bones” of the people who make schools: staff and pupils, governors and communities.

Chapter: Restorative Practice as Peace Practice

This chapter in the edited volume Getting More out of Restorative Practice in Schools makes the case for understanding and implementing restorative approaches as a way for schools to build peace. Written as a collaboration between Terence Bevington and Anna Gregory, the chapter seeks to go beyond current conceptualisations of restorative approaches to open up a new space for considering restorative work as peace work. Building on the ideas presented in Cremin and Bevington’s Positive Peace in Schools, we explain why and how the lens of peace can be useful in making restorative practices more extensive in their reach and ambitions.
