Description 

In this video we follow a group of students as they discuss their assumptions about Circles and Restorative Practices before going on a restorative journey together—a journey that allows them to become more introspective, connect with their peers in deep and meaningful ways, and become leaders in their school to build and restore community.  

Adults in the video talk about the shared leadership needed for Restorative Practices (known as Restorative Justice at the Alliance School) to take root and the importance of community buy in.
