In her presentation, Foresee’s executive talked about the possible implementation of restorative techniques in community conflicts, introduced Foresee’s Nagybörzsöny and peace making circles projects, shared these projects’ experiences, and also mentioned the aim and the structure of the ALTERNATIVE project. A screening of Foresee’s „We also exist” film also took place.
