Dominic Barter, known internationally for his work in creating new approaches to conflict settlement and restorative justice, is visiting Rochester this week.
In the 1990s, Barter developed Restorative Circles in the favelas of Brazil, in parts of Rio de Janeiro that were essentially controlled by armed gangs. Since then, he's taken his work around the world, including a previous visit to Rochester.
This week, he's meeting with students, teachers, and leading a public event called "Medicine for Hate." Our guests:
- Dominic Barter, creator of Restorative Circles
- Ruth Turner, director of counseling and social work in city schools
- Kit Miller, director of the Gandhi Institute for Nonviolence
