New York City Bar Association to Host New York Peace Institute
Exploring Restorative Processes as a Means of Building Community and Addressing Conflict
October 16, 2024 | 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM | In-Person Event at the New York Bar Association
We’re excited to announce an upcoming event at the New York City Bar Association—a two-hour, in-person session designed to explore restorative practices and their role in fostering understanding, trust, and connection within diverse communities.
Organized by the New York City Bar in collaboration with New York Peace Institute (NYPI), this event will introduce participants to alternative dispute resolution (ADR) methods and how these processes—particularly restorative justice—can help individuals and communities navigate conflict, repair harm, and heal divisions.
Whether you’re an attorney, mediator, community leader, or simply interested in learning how to foster better communication and understanding, this event is for you. Don’t miss this unique opportunity to expand your knowledge and build skills that make a real impact.
The evening will feature NYPI’s experienced leaders:
- Jennifer Magida, Chief Executive Officer
- Ayanna Behin, Director of Training and Conflict Consulting
- Kailani Capote, Senior Manager, Restorative Justice Programming
Participants will have the opportunity to experience a Community Building Circle—a powerful tool that encourages participants to share personal stories, build trust, and shift power dynamics.
In a time when political and social divides are growing, events like these offer an opportunity for dialogue and connection that are critical to healing our communities. By participating in this session, you’ll gain insights into how restorative practices can help your clients, your communities, and your own professional practice.
