Chair of Citizen Mediation: restorative social practices to promote coexistence
The UPF-BSM Chair of Citizen Mediation was created to develop systematized knowledge on restorative and reconstructive social practices with the aim of strengthening bonds between citizens and the local world with an intersectional perspective.
For a few years we have been witnessing events that, as a society, place us in a position which disrupts our daily lives, and which increases discomfort, and personal and social tension. This fact challenges the local world to increase spaces promoting coexistence and the strengthening of community bonds and to do so in a close and empathetic way.
The Chair gives us the opportunity to create and transfer academic knowledge related to restorative practices and to provide tools for professionals who support people and those who work to influence citizen coexistence.
The Chair of Citizen Mediation of the UPF-BSM and the Area of Equality and Social Sustainability of the Barcelona Council will respond to the current needs of society with the aim of offering tools to local entities for promoting inclusive coexistence and encouraging social cohesion.
Aims
- Generate systematized knowledge about restorative and reconstructive social practices in order to strengthen and repair bonds between citizens.Create a conceptual framework of restorative and reconstructive practices for the promotion of coexistence and community ties, especially at the local level.
- Prepare a systematized compilation of the different restorative practices recognized locally.
- Design and create methodologies and tools for restorative action for each of these practices in order to respond to the different needs and social contexts of the municipalities of the province of Barcelona.
- Conduct experimental research to assess the impact of restorative methodologies on the community.
- Design, implement, and evaluate restorative practices such as spaces for re-bonding and social reparation.
