CtS 0 0 ■ .c WELCOME A Message from the Director In September 2000, Larry Goble retired as our President after 22 years of service to the JI. Larry played a· key role in the growth and development of our unique institution over these years, including our re-location to our present campus site in New Westminster. On behalf of the staff, instructional team and students of the Centre for Conflict Resolution, we wish him the very best in his retirement. His successor, Jack McGee, brings many years of experience in the post secondary field in Ontario. We very much appreciate his support of our programs. I am very pleased to let you know about some major initiatives of the JI and in particular the Centre for Conflict Resolution which expand training opportunities provincially, nationally and internationally and will change the way we are positioned in the dispute resolution field. OUR MISSION We are dedicated to the provision of quality instructional services in interest­ based dispute resolution to assist individuals, organizations and communities to resolve differences and build harmonious relationships. WHY TAKE YOUR TRAINING AT THE CENTRE FOR CONFLICT RESOLUTION? Our students and graduates say that the key components of our success are: • High-calibre instructors • A supportive environment • Skills and concepts which are practical in work and personal life • High program standards • Opportunities to practice skills with feedback • Availability of programs in various communities •Outstanding reputation in the dispute resolution field . ,,.,,,,-----. 1 In November 2000, the Justice Institute received the International Standards Organization (ISO) 9001 accreditation for the design and delivery of training programs. We are one of only two educational institutions in all of Canada, and the first in B.C. to receive accreditation for the entire institute. ISO accreditation has the most significance in the international market, where such accreditation is often a requirement to do business. The Centre for Conflict Resolution is currently in the process of developing informal agreements with organizations and colleges in Israel, Jordan and South Africa for reciprocal learning, and associates have made recent visits to the JI to participate in training here. I recently returned from delivering conflict resolution training in Amman, Jordan for the Jordanian Hashemite Fund for Human Development and its national training institute The Queen Zein Al Sharaf Complex for Development. They are very excited about the opportunities for expansion of this work in Jordan and an ongoing connection with the JI. This calendar represents the launch of our new certificate program in Peacemaking and Restorative Justice. We are extremely grateful to Judge Barry Stuart for his invaluable assistance in developing this program, and also appreciate the support we have received on a provincial and national level from many groups, depart­ ments and ministries who now place restorative justice high on their list of priori­ ties. We think you will find the courses of great interest and benefit, either as a compliment to your work in conflict resolution or to provide a solid background for community programs, schools or institutions who wish to develop in this new and rapidly growing area. As with the conflict resolution program, you may take individual courses as long as you meet prerequisite requirements. We are also very pleased to introduce our diverse and experienced peacemaking and restorative justice instructional team and thank them for their enthusiasm in this new venture. Finally it is my pleasure to let you know that we are currently running two First Nations Negotiation Skills Certificate Programs - in Burns Lake and Takla Lake. We look forward to awarding certificates in 2001, which will bring to well over 100 the number of graduates of our First Nations Certificate Program. We com­ mend these participants for their commitment and hard work, and our dedicated instructional team for their support and expertise in this area of our Centre's work. On behalf of all of us at the Centre, we hope you will enjoy the new calendar, and we look forward to working with you over the semester. Feel free to come in and talk with us about any part of our work. As ever, we welcome your thoughts and suggestions. �E,RE� ,, , 't ... .,,., . ,.,,.

PRIOR LEARNING ASSESSMENT AND RECOGNITION (PLAR) What is PLAR? PLAR stands for Prior Leaming Assessment and Recognition. It is a process for granting credit in a post-secondary program based on what you know and can do no matter where or how you gained that knowledge and those skills. We are happy to offer students and potential students an opportunity to receive credit towards any of our Certificates for knowledge and skills gained outside the Justice Institute. The PLAR process is an active partnership between the Jl and the student. It takes a fair amount of work and effort on your part to document your learning so we can assess it for credit. The maximum amount of credit that can be awarded through PLAR is 50% of our Certificate hours. That is 105 out of 210 hours for the Certificate in Conflict Resolution and 126 out of 252 hours for the Peacemaking and Restorative Justice Certificate. I already took some courses. Can I get credit for them? Maybe. Credit may be granted for anything we teach at the Centre for Conflict Resolution based on similar training that you took somewhere else. These might be other College or University courses, or workshops through your workplace or a community organization. To receive credit for comparable training the course or workshop you took needs to be quite similar to one or more of our courses. I haven't taken any courses but I have been using these skills for years. Can I get credit? Maybe. You will need to demonstrate to us that your knowledge and skills gained through work and life experience are comparable to what you would learn in one or more of our courses. How much does it cost? There is a fee charged for each PLAR application ranging up to a maximum of $250. The fee is based on the work involved in assessing the candidate and is not based on credit awarded. The fee is non-refundable and must be submitted with your PLAR application. We can make the PLAR process available in a range of formats such as large print, oral interview and sign language interpretation. Let us know what meets your needs. How long does the process take? Each situation is unique and time required to complete the To discuss absences from courses, contact Leslie Murray at process can vary between a few days and few weeks.

It is not just for criminal justice professionals. There have been many, many experiences around the world using these practices for purposes other than dealing with crimes. We have developed the curriculum with this in mind. The certification program offers an opportunity to gain a broadly based understanding. of community and restorative justice. The program is comprised of 36 days (252 hours) of training, as well as a field work component and assessment. Required courses total 22 days (154 hours) and elective courses total 14 days (98 hours). This calendar (January August 2001) concentrates primarily on Required courses, and elective courses will be developed over the upcoming semesters. Courses are 2 - 3 days in length. What is Peacemaking and Restorative Justice? Peacemaking differs from other forms of appropriate dispute resolution in its emphasis on: • generating an awareness of and an ability to act on personal values; • drawing upon the mental, spiritual, emotional and physical dimensions of conflict; • building better relationships through mutual respect and understanding; • creating spaces for all participants to share responsibility for designing and running the process and for outcomes; • building new partnerships across disciplines, cultures and other divisions that normally separate people in organizations and communities; • drawing on and encouraging a holistic approach to practice. Restorative Justice practices vary immensely - from mediation to peacemaking circles. The principles of each practice differ, but shape a common theme in emphasizing shared problem solving, healing, reconciliation and less dependence on formal processes, on the State and upon professional expertise. Many community and restorative justice practices depend upon and forge partnerships within community, within service agencies, and between communities and service agencies. The practices and principles of restorative justice can be adapted to schools, institutions, child protection and many other kinds of conflict outside the justice system, including problem solving and team building within institutions. Approach to Training The program has been developed with the belief that there are many approaches to practice, any one of which may be more or less appropriate in a given situation. There is a wide divergence of views on what constitutes best practice within the field of peacemaking and restorative justice, and approaches to practice are value laden. We do not espouse any particular approach to practice, but rather, strongly encourage participants to learn many different approaches, so as to better select or design an approach that is appropriate for the situation. We value flexibility and context specific process. Courses are culturally sensitive and co-instructed whenever possible to represent differing cultural and professional perspectives and orientations. Our instructional team is comprised of organizational specialists, educators, community development specialists, justice system professionals and those experienced in community programs, and includes several First Nations instructors. Our student base also reflects this diversity, which we believe enhances the overall learning environment. The Fundamentals course provides an orientation to peacemaking and restorative justice. It is our belief that it is essential that participants have a solid base of understanding of the philosophy and principles which underlie all work in this field. Furthermore, this course ties together all the major themes of the program. Accordingly, we recommend you take it as your first course.

Other locations including Quesnel and Terrace will be added in the future. Credit for Related Training Several of the required and elective courses are also offered on the Conflict Resolution Certificate Program. Participants taking these courses can receive credit for the course against both programs. Selected courses from the Conflict Resolution program may be counted as elective credit on this program; however, no more than 50% of elective credit on the Peacemaking and Restorative Justice program may be comprised of Conflict Resolution courses (see notations beside relevant courses). Other courses in related areas may be considered for equivalent elective credit. Prior Leaming Assessment and Recognition (PLAR) assessments are available to assess equivalent training and experience. Choosing Your Coursework This program has been developed to address the learning needs of a wide range of individuals and groups, and themes are streamed, which allows participants to specialize through courses that focus on their area of interest. All program themes are addressed in the fundamentals course, deepened in the related required course, and then expanded upon in elective coursework in one of several contexts. For example, someone interested in working with victims will find relevant material in the Fundamentals course, the required course on Psychology of Victims, then in one of three elective courses focused on victims in criminal justice, educational or organizational contexts. Or those with a focus on institutions may wish to choose coursework that includes the fundamentals course, a course in Peacemaking Circles, and a specialization in Designing and Implementing Processes in Organizations, or Problem Solving with Small and Large Groups. In a similar manner, specialized courses are available for those whose focus is working in a school setting, in addition to the relevant required course. The program presents a wide range of options that enable participants to see how these techniques may be used in many different forums and communities.

We will review the history of restorative justice and peacemaking practices, examine the justice process based on degree of community involvement and summarize restorative justice and peacemaking processes as they are being employed worldwide. In order to explore these concepts from personal and cultural perspectives, we will create a community in the classroom and engage participants in a learning experience that will cause them to challenge their traditional assumptions around dealing with crime and conflict - in community, school and organizationaVinstitutional contexts. We will build a foundation for subsequent detailed and specialized training, based on the principles and philosophy of peacemaking and restorative justice, including a holistic, value-based and respectful orientation to practice.

DEALING WITH ANGER (CR200) CONTINUED VALUES-BASED APPROACH TO CONFLICT (PRJl0l) Highly recommended: Length: PR.HOO 2 days Values are central and integral to all practice in peacemaking and restorative justice. They are at the heart of our effectiveness in terms of the work we do and how we live our lives. This course will assist participants to identify core personal values, and the conduct that would align with those values. We will also examine the values and value clusters that underlie different approaches to peacemaking and restorative justice practices; then assess outcomes of those practices in terms of their alignment with personal and community values. The course will focus on awareness and clarification as well as the price we pay when our conduct and actions are incongruent with our values - and the choice we always have in our lives.

Efforts to resolve the conflict may be ineffective if these feelings are ignored or denied. This course builds on the material in CRl lONCRl lOB, and presents theory, skills and approaches for managing our own angry feelings and behaviours, and responding to anger in others. Topics such as anger triggers, self-management, defusing skills, the origins of personal expressions of anger and disengaging from angry encounters will be explored. Emphasis is on self-awareness and skill development through smallgroup exercises and videotaped practice sessions on the final day.

A full understanding of what takes place for the victims of traumatic events during and following these events will not only provide insight on what they experience in the aftermath, but guidance on the kind of support they deserve from the vast array of "helpers" in various community, organizational and school settings. Participants will build an appreciation for how a relatively "brief' traumatic event may impact a victim for years to come. Finally, participants will understand how those who are engaging with victims in restorative justice and peacemaking processes can play a vital role in preventing re-victimization and in empowering individuals toward resolution so that they may move beyond ''victim" to "survivor".

This course explores the issues of linkage within the community, whether it be the organi­ zation or school as community, or a restorative justice program situated in the community at large. We will explore together the challenges and opportunities of building connections, using a systems approach and agreement-seeking and appreciative inquiry processes as useful ways to build effective partnerships, long term liaisons and working relationships. Long term sustainability, gaining community "buy-in", quality assurance, overcoming funding and political issues will also be reviewed, while utilizing the collective experi­ ences within the group. We will provide participants with_ the opportunity to focus on their respective communities' needs, and develop a strategy for building connections.

The course addresses how circles can be adapted to a wide range of conflicts. The guiding principles and fundamental practices of the circle will be covered. The various stages of a circle process and the responsibility of keepers will be described. The thrust of the course will be to explore how circles can be adapted and applied to many different situations where the objectives are to generate innovative solutions, build relationships of trust, foster respect for different values/perspectives and work towards a sustainable consensus.

Experience has shown that restorative practices can be very useful in strengthening and restoring relationships, repairing harm caused and effectively involving those affected by such incidents. This workshop will explore participants values and beliefs as they relate to conflict and victimization, the dynamics of bullying, harassment and intimidation in the school setting. We will also examine a continuum of restorative justice practices appropriate in a school setting, and methods for addressing the 'code of silence' and fear of retaliation that often occurs following incidents of victimization.

As organizational life becomes more complex and specialized, the need to find ways to integrate differences across many dimensions becomes more compelling. We need to find ways where individuals trained to become experts and advocates for their own "cause" can work together for the common good of the organization-where they can simultaneously become partners in the organization's mission. This course will offer a balanced approach to resolving conflict using peacemaking principles and processes, which bring together the human, and business elements of organizational life. We will explore the design and implementation of the peacemaking concept to organizational life and issues through discussion, experience in the circle and hands-on learning.
