Join us at the AAJ Symposium 2025, a transformative gathering dedicated to exploring and advancing the principles of restorative justice, equity, and renewal within our communities. This symposium aims to bring together thought leaders, practitioners, and community leaders to engage in meaningful dialogue and collaborative efforts toward creating a more just and equitable society.
At this symposium, we will delve into the foundational principles of restorative justice, highlighting its potential to address harm, foster reconciliation, and rebuild trust within communities. Participants will gain insights into the practical application of restorative justice in various architectural contexts, from the justice system to diversion programs. Our focus on justice equity will examine inequalities and explore strategies for creating practices that uplift marginalized communities while improving outcomes. Attendees will have the opportunity to learn about innovative approaches that promote social justice, reduce recidivism, and support individuals and communities in need. The theme of renewal will underscore the importance of continuous growth and adaptation in our pursuit of justice. Participants will be inspired to envision new possibilities for justice practices that prioritize human dignity, community empowerment, and sustainable change.
Join us for a compelling and thought-provoking experience that challenges us to reimagine justice and work collectively towards a future that works better for all.
