Why do we build community?
The social reality in Mexico presents a situation of unprecedented violence, which affects in an increasingly profound and complex way the different aspects of people’s lives.
Building community from a restorative perspective allows us to learn new ways of relating based on respect and mutual support. Thus, we transform our relationships, enhance our capabilities as people and strengthen our communities.
At Building Community we help you develop Restorative Practices:
- Empathic Listen
- Statements and Affective Questions
- Restorative Spontaneous Meetings
- Peace Circles
- Restorative Conference

Testimonies of the Project
Towards a restorative school culture.
“Restorative practices contribute to making our ideal school a reality, raising the positive self-esteem of students, so that they feel part of an equitable society free of violence, with opportunities for personal and academic growth, and with broad control in the management of emotions ”.
“We found in Building Community, an effective alternative to change the way in which we resolve school conflicts, through restorative practices, an approach that we accept as a school group to prevent and solve problematic situations in the future. It has been a committed job and we are in the process of learning even more, strengthening our restorative team and involving all mothers, fathers, tutors and students. We still have a long way to go, but we are convinced of fostering true social change in our community”.
“Restorative practices create a harmonious and favorable environment for the learning and coexistence of students, parents and the school community: We learn to resolve conflicts assertively, we improve the way we communicate, we practice values, to make students feel safe and respected by developing interpersonal skills, creating caring and compassionate human beings ”.
