Restorative and Relational Practice in
Schools and Learning Communities
Wednesday 8 October, 7.30-9.30pm BST
Are you thinking about setting up a school or learning community? Or perhaps you run or work at a provision already and are considering how to create a more positive culture for both young people and adults. Please join us for an online workshop with Dr Terence Bevington from The Restorative Lab, who will be sharing his experience in restorative and relational practice to help education provisions build cultures that are inclusive, accountable, and compassionate.

About Us
This webinar series is brought to you by Jo Symes at Progressive Education and Alex O’Neill from Limitless. We are education activists who have a shared passion for raising awareness of alternatives to mainstream school.
For the past couple of years Alex and Jo have been creating events and resources for start-ups, in response to the growing number of children and young people leaving mainstream education, and the urgency that parents/carers/educators feel to build new learning environments where young people can thrive.
Introducing Alex O’Neill
Alex is the driving force behind Limitless, an organisation dedicated to igniting social change with a special emphasis on revolutionising the education sector.
Through the Limitless podcast, she shares expert insights and neuroscience tips to empower changemakers to tackle the world's most pressing issues.
Alex is committed to uniting individuals who are driven to advance education and supporting them in overcoming obstacles that stand in their way.
Introducing Jo Symes
