It is absolutely clear that small-scale forms of detention can be found in every corner of Europe. All inspiring, none perfect: 1000 originals. The ecosystem of a detention house comprises a large network of actors, topics and their interconnections. To strengthen the ecosystem of detention houses, RESCALED created webpages about many different core topics, twenty in total. For the sake of the symposium and the number of participants we have chosen to only focus on 14 topics. However, you can find the other six core topics below.
The concept of restorative cities is a response to social and environmental challenges, with a growing awareness of the interconnectedness between the built environment, justice and the well-being of individuals in relation to their communities.
Policy reform is an ongoing and dynamic process, as societal needs and challenges evolve over time. Successful policy reform requires collaboration, transparency, and responsiveness to changing circumstances.
