The Community Conversation Circle (CCC) is a structured participatory methodology implemented as a recurring activity within the Y-Justice Project. Its purpose is to create a safe, youth-centered forum that enables meaningful community dialogue on issues related to the youth justice system.
The CCC is designed to:
- Facilitate informed community voice and lived experience sharing.
- Strengthen connections among youth, community members, and service providers.
- Generate community-driven action proposals that can inform advocacy, programming, and policy reform (Action Plan).
- Grounded in the principles of restorative dialogue and participatory engagement, the CCC promotes inclusive, equity-informed discussion, with particular attention to the experiences of racialized youth.
