Foresee Research Group Non-profit Ltd.

Foresee Research Group (FORESEE) is an NGO that works in consultancy, prevention, intervention and network building in the field of constructive conflict solution, restorative justice and prevention of social polarisation and exclusion. Here FORESEE has begun to tackle the phenomena of social hatred and extremism, as are expressed in acts and speech against minorities, Roma, Jews, immigrants, LGBT communities, as well as homeless, elderly and disabled or otherwise marginalised people.

Foresee’s multi-agency team of researchers and facilitators works with disadvantaged groups, local communities, schools, NGOs, as well as with practitioners and policy makers in areas of criminal justice (victims, offenders, probation, prison), social welfare and education. With regard to methods, Foresee flexibly applies a range of techniques, such as mediation, conferencing, peacemaking circles, family group conferencing, facilitated discussions and one-to-one restorative dialogues.

A particularly promising aspect of Foresee’s approach is that it is safely anchored in the well established restorative justice methodology and that it adapts and further develops them into prevention work against hate crime and extremism.

Foresee has recently finished its pilot project on mediation and restorative justice in prison, working with inmates, families, victims, as well as staff and generally explores new methodologies that are suitable to issues of hate crime, extremism and for deradicalisation interventions.
