Upcoming Tier 1 Circle Practice Training Sessions |
In 2024, Tufts University made a commitment to embrace Restorative Practices as a way to build connections and strengthen bonds across our community.
What exactly are Restorative Practices? What will they mean to Tufts Student Life? Find out by joining our Tier 1 Restorative Practices Circle training.
Restorative Practices Circles are an indigenous tool that has been used across the world for millennia as a means of building healthy communities, cultivating connections, and maintaining positive relationships.
If you would like to learn about ways to use this transformative process in your meetings, resident halls, classrooms and personal relationships, please sign up for our Restorative Practices Circle Trainings this month! Students, faculty, and staff are welcome.
