Restorative practices have deep roots in the Athens community. 15 years ago, the Georgia Conflict Center began teaching restorative practices in some of the county’s institutions and has since expanded its reach.
The organization will hold a community celebration to mark this anniversary on Sunday, April 27th at 5 pm at Terrapin Brewery.
Danny Malec is the Executive Director of the Georgia Conflict Center. Mikhayla Smith is the center’s Senior Program Coordinator and Athens-Clarke County’s second Poet Laureate. They sat down with WUGA’s Emma Auer to discuss the milestone and the organization’s origins.
