RJ4All Europe is a non-profit NGO with vision of a world that embraces the restorative justice values of power sharing, fairness, equality, dignity and respect, and where power abuse is rooted out. We pursue our vision by using the power of dialogue, education, sports and art, as well as the practices of restorative justice. RJ4All Europe has a mission to address poverty and advance equality, community cohesion and human rights. We pursue our mission by delivering social justice and poverty relief projects, free skills-development and educational programmes, youth clubs, intercultural and awareness raising workshops, internships and high-quality volunteering opportunities.

Our main sources of income are Erasmus+ funding projects, CERV, Horizon etc.
RJ4All Europe was founded by Dr. Theo Gavrielides, one of the world’s leading experts on restorative justice. The NGO was founded upon his maximalist vision of restorative justice as a global social movement that brings balance to the scales of justice, and community voice. RJ4All Europe is the child of the Restorative Justice for All International Institute. Also founded by Dr. Gavrielides, the institute is now recognised one of the world’s leading authorities in the delivery, evaluation, research and scrutiny of restorative justice. Based in London, the institute has been working for over a decade with harmed and harming parties, communities and governments to provide effective interventions and an alternative narrative to justice.
RJ4All Europe draws from our Institute large portfolio of numerous successful projects https://www.rj4all.info/projects that were carried out for the EU, UK funders and international organisations. This includes independent evaluations of rehabilitation and restorative justice programmes, awareness raising and training projects, work on radicalisation as well as research consultancies and expert advice to governments and international organisations.

We believe that we can build a better world by working locally, nationally and internationally through the redistribution of power. We do this by using the values and practices of restorative justice including: power sharing, fairness, equality, dignity and respect. The means that we use are structured through educational, poverty relief and social action programmes, and focus on achieving social justice for all. Moreover, we deliver restorative justice interventions and evaluations and support both harmed and harming parties. We have expertise in complex cases such as hate incidents, sexual abuse and gender-based violence, youth violence and violent radicalisation. RJ4All Europe also has three additional arms: RJ4All Publications (publishing arm), RJ4All Sports (fitness arm) and RJ4All ecourses (training arm).
Our newly arrived funding project by Erasmus + is called Restorative Justice for Restorative Communities and you can find more information in the link below: https://www.rj4all.eu/rjrc/
Given the long history of our sister organisation in the UK, restorative justice-based practices mean that we do not work alone. By design, all our projects are carried out in partnership with others who share our values. Founded upon the FREDA values of Fairness, Respect, Equality, Dignity and Autonomy, RJ4All Europe creates partnerships with like minded organisations to instil and implement FREDA, while also leading on the evaluation and wider dissemination of project results.
Also, we wish to share with this big network our Certified e-courses & trainings, workshops and trainings within restorative justice circles and Restorative justice interventions. All the more important, though, RJ4All is a research institute with a leading role in affecting policy-making through ground-breaking research. Having said that, we are going to offer a wealth of publications, research papers and evalautions.
We strongly believe in partnerships and we wish to offer space for networking, exchange of good practices and institutional development.
