About The Event
The 2025 LCCS Restorative Practice Conference, themed "Singapore – A Restorative Nation", envisions a society where relationships, community, and justice intersect to build a stronger, more cohesive nation. In this conference, we celebrate Singapore’s journey for almost three decades toward embedding restorative principles into its social, educational, and judicial frameworks. This conference also serves as a call to action for further collaboration and innovation in this transformative movement.
Our Post Conference Special, "Circles of Life – Sharing Stories, Shaping a Nation", invites all attendees to come together in smaller groups, each circle acting as a microcosm of our broader community. Find out more about this pivotal moment in our journey toward building a more inclusive, compassionate, and restorative society here.
Dream With Us
As Singapore continues to evolve as a global city-state, the theme invites participants to explore how these principles can be woven into the fabric of everyday life, creating a society that values empathy, equity, and reconciliation.
Over 5 keynote sessions and 20 presentations, this conference will bring together thought leaders, practitioners, educators, policymakers, and community stakeholders to share best practices, discuss challenges, and co-create solutions rooted in dignity and our shared humanity.
