| Greetings from Barcelona! |
|
|
One month ago you received this newsflash from Berlin, where the EFRJ had its Annual General Meeting followed by a seminar. Few weeks later you received our news from Como, where we have been busy with the organisation of our next Summer School on RJ and serious crimes.
Now, you read us while we are in Barcelona together with our colleagues from the Criminal Justice Platform Europe for the first edition of the Criminal Justice Summer Courses (4-7 July). Download the booklet here and follow us on social media during the event!

| EFRJ booklet on arts and RJ |
|
EFRJ members recently received the June issue of the EFRJ Newsletter. This special edition has been dedicated to Arts and RJ, where arts are used either to encourage restorative dialogues, or to raise awareness about RJ, or as RJ practices by themselves. The articles will be published in a booklet which will be launched in occasion of the RJ WEEK 2017. If you want to contribute, or if you know other artistic projects including RJ principles and/or practices, please keep us informed! We are currently searching for new materials to be published: deadline 1 October!

| Moment of inspiration |
 |
|
The exposition 'Global War of Terror' (London until 28 August, free entry) brings together several works by photographer Edmund Clark to explore the hidden experiences of state control. Looking at issues of security, secrecy, representation and legality, the show focuses on the measures taken by states to protect their citizens from the threat of terrorism and the far-reaching effects of such methods of control. |
