The Power of Restorative Justice Art in Cultural Awareness and Migrant Integration

The Erasmus+ project Culture and Art for Restorative Justice (CA4RJ)  has been created in order to bring a strategic partnership of VET providers, cultural and art organisations from across Erasmus+ so that the power of art and restorative justice can be used to increase cultural awareness and thus contribute to the successful integration of migrant communities at one of the most challenging times for Europe. The project is funded by Erasmus+ and is coordinated by the RJ4All International Institute. The partners are Reframe House (UK), RESET (Cyprus), EDRA (Greece), IASIS (Greece), CIS (Spain), and CERA (Turkey).

CA4RJ aims to enhance the knowledge and skills of professionals working with migrants through developing tools that emphasize how restorative justice and art can support migrant integration and enhance intercultural awareness.

This e-book forms part of the project’s results and is the ultimate pride and concluding IO of the project. This e-book is the short version of a longer one that expands on the summary key findings included here, along with a comparative chapter trying to compile and compare all key findings. The longer e-book includes chapters written by each partner in their national language. This e-book was produced collectively by the project’s partners, each of whom brought together all the research, pilots, learning and findings of the project in their country. This e-book is the first in the area, paving the way for Europe and is the biggest legacy of the project. The e-book is particularly useful to professionals working with migrants in different settings as it serves as a tool to integrate restorative justice and art into their service delivery.
