In partnership with Kings College and Southwark Council
"My Life – My Future: Restorative Futures" was developed and delivered with two strategic local partners i.e. our local Council and Kings College London. As part of the College's Civic Challenge we worked with a group of young people ensuring that the project is developed, delivered and monitored through a bottom- up approach. King’s Civic Challenge brings together teams of students, staff and local charities to co-create solutions to some of the challenges our communities face. Therefore, this project could not be more timely for Southwark. The Council was also keen to see levels of anti-social behaviour being reduced while providing more positive opportunities for local young people.

This video is an introduction to conflict.
We provide an overview of the definition of conflict and enphasize in the idea that conflict is normal. Conflict is a part of life, and it's important to know how to deal with conflict because if we don't do it properly, conflict can lead to violence. In the next chapter we will teach about violence and what to do when facing it.
The fourth video introduces the concept of violence and the different types of violence a person can experience. We also provide a list of 10 things you can do to stop and/or prevent violence and at the end, we give you some contact information from organisations who work with victims so you can save them if you or a friend ever need them.
The fifth and last video of this series teaches us about Peer Mediation and its importance to restore harmed relationships but also to prevent violence and radicalisation.
At the end of the video we also take a look at the advantages of bringing Restorative Justice Practices into the school.
