Kiss your assets" :An ecological approach for establishing Restorative Zones Rick Kelly
This workshops presents the evolution of a Restorative orientation within a CYC College program. The 14 years of evolving practice empathizes various student led initiatives. The Jamaica experience was one of the many presented. Currently the efforts have culminated in creating a Restorative Hub within the newly developed Social Innovation Hub.
Conventional methods of social science research overly confound social determinants of health and adolescent development, relying too heavily on individual level measures of change. This translates into a dominant and inaccurate pathology that treats and assumes young people of color (YPOC) as “risk” or problem, influencing the ways in which policies, practices, and investments in academic achievement, student support, staff support, and school discipline are implemented, perpetuating inequitable conditions for YPOC.Listening to Heal (LtH) is a community-engaged inquiry process that explores the experiences of trauma for YPOC in the context of school, including the impact on social emotional health, adolescent development, learning and achievement, school discipline, and the school to prison pipeline. LtH builds on RYSE’s Listening Campaign (LC), a similar and preceding inquiry that revealed young people’s profound, collective experiences of oppression, the stigma of place (being from Richmond, CA), and not feeling valued or belonging.
LtH’s aim is to effectively serve the needs of YPOC by 1) understanding their lived experience in the context of ongoing trauma 2) informing more effective school based interventions and strategies, and 3) influencing/advocating for school and other institutional policies, protocols, relationships, and investments that are restorative, just, and healing.

As part of the Social Life of Cities collaborative, we are working the University of Chicago, Cisco and McCaffery Interests to create new ways to use digital technology to help people feel safer in Chicago's south side. In our first workshops, in July 2012, we discussed what blocks and what boosts community resilience on the south side, and designed four propositions for new ways to use digital technology to tackle these issues. Our second workshops, a year later in July 2013, focused on one idea: "Team Approach to Violence", TATV. We spent the day designing TATV, looking at how south sides use new technology and examaining the experiences of people from different ages and backgrounds. We will be working with our Chicago partners to pilot and evaluate the new approach. For info see www.social-life.co/project/tatv

6. An alternative view. What
about …
Physical boundaries to promote geographical
identity
Local myths & stories
Strong social relationships, networks & bonds
Rituals and rhythms
Shared belief systems, garden cities, new
towns, eco-cities
Visible leadership.
9. Resilience is the ability of a person,
group or community to adapt and
‘bounce back’ in the face of
adversity
More often used in discussions about
the environment or emergency
preparation
Increasing interest in social
resilience, for individuals and
communities
A central part of a social justice
agenda, focusing on strengths of
individuals and communities as well
as vulnerabilities.
What is resilience?

* Employed
Social
* Friends/family around for drink or meal
* Regularly stop and talk with people in my
neighborhood
Self

difficulties

What influences our resilience?
22. Our data showed that this well loved estate is
supporting vulnerable people to get by, and is
home to a relatively strong community in an
area where crime and isolation are common.
23. What can housing providers do?
Increasing poverty, and the impact of
austerity have undermined individuals’ and
communities’ resilience
Housing providers need to be sensitive to the
social ties that exist in communities
They need to work with other agencies to
recognise the value of what exists within
local areas, as well as tackling the problems
And to be open to different people’s views
about what they want to keep, as well as
what they want to change.
