Camilo was a plenary keynote presenter at the European Forum for Restorative Justice's 12th International Conference in late May, 2024, in Tallinn, Estonia. His presentation made key links between restorative and transitional justice on the ground in Colombia, and how his work as a practitioner and government official alike has spurred much-awaited efforts to provide RJ as a viable systemic and community practice in his country.
He may very well be the first high-ranking government official in the world to have "Restorative Justice" within his official title.
Host Molly Rowan Leach sat down with Camilo in a park adjacent to the conference in beautiful Tallinn to discuss behind-the-scenes reflections of the panel, insights into the link between RJ and Transitional Justice at the micro- and macro-levels, and to share a little about his own experiences as a survivor of his father's murder, and the work he does to further RJ in Colombia.

Background: Leisnig station is a thriving cultural centre - a cultural station - a vibrant place for culture, exchange and encounters. There is close co-operation with the town of Leisnig, the university towns of Leipzig, Dresden and Chemnitz, as well as with the supra-regional cultural network and the international ethno-network. The project is recognised for its high-quality cultural events, concerts, music and dance workshops and attracts well-known lecturers from all over Europe. The cultural centre also creates a space for local cultural initiatives, youth clubs and cultural workers in the region. The station provides a framework for local businesses to offer products and services and creates jobs in the region. In addition to the cultural centre, there is a café, a restaurant, a beer garden and rooms for rent. The project is sustainably integrated into the local community and beyond and brings great added value to the Central Saxony region. It is known for its openness, respect and tolerance and epitomises a successful collaboration between local communities and an international cultural network.
The Leisnig train station is an example of how cultural initiatives can shape, influence and change local conditions in a positive way, and how mutual give and take can create a positive synergy effect for the city.
From the very beginning, our dream was to create a place where musicians from different countries could come together to share their music.
We offer high-quality cultural events as well as music and dance workshops with well-known artists and lecturers from all over the world.
Through music lessons, workshops and events, we offer musicians and music enthusiasts, whether beginners or professional musicians, a platform and the opportunity to realise their potential.

The award-winning “radically original” (The Atlantic) restorative justice leader, whose work the Washington Post has called “totally sensible and totally revolutionary,” grapples with the problem of violent crime in the movement for prison abolition
“Profoundly necessary.” —Michelle Alexander, The New York Times
IN THIS HOUR EPISODE, Danielle Sered, a survivor of violence herself, shares with us insights into what her hopes were in writing the globally-esteemed book Until We Reckon: Violence, Mass Incarceration and A Road To Repair (New Press, 2019) and some insights into her process five years ago that led to one of the restorative justice world's most game-changing tomes, bridging us from theories and evidence into the deeply intimate details of practices that meet the needs of survivors of violence, independent of the traditional justice systems in the US and beyond. She introduces us to four key areas that are to this day the foundation of her work with Common Justice, and reflects on what she has observed since the 2019 publication.
In New York City, we operate the first alternative-to-incarceration and victim-service program in the United States that focuses on violent felonies in the adult courts. Locally and nationally, we leverage the lessons from our direct service to transform the justice system through partnerships, advocacy, and elevating the experience and power of those most impacted.
Rigorous and hopeful, we build practical strategies to hold people accountable for harm, break cycles of violence, and secure safety, healing, and justice for survivors and their communities.

#RJ & Heart Coherence with Deborah Rozman of the Institute of HeartMath
Personal coherence is a critical aspect of working within any human services position, and perhaps even more critical when offering restorative justice practices of any kind. The clear intersection between facilitator coherence and the potential for optimal support and potential best outcomes is evident, and in this conversation with Deborah Rozman we cover the science behind heart-brain coherence and how it impacts not just ourselves, but those in our proximity and beyond, in ways that are now quantified. In plain words, if you are coherent, you are present, able to listen, able to stay neutrally oriented, and offer depthful facilitation. The implications are limitless in the field of social justice, and beyond....
Dr. Deborah Rozman is a psychologist, business executive, educator, author and a researcher in the psychology of consciousness. Dr. Rozman has written numerous books, including the award-winning Meditating With Children and co-authoring with Doc Childre the Transforming Series — Transforming Anger, Transforming Stress, Transforming Anxiety and Transforming Depression. She helped Doc Childre found the Institute of HeartMath and currently is president and co-CEO of Quantum Intech Inc., the HeartMath technology company that develops and manufactures emWave® coherence feedback technologies.
