This article has the objective to present the results of an evaluation and monitoring research of restorative practices developed in three schools of the private and public network of Porto Alegre. This research is a partnership between the Faculty of Social Work and the Third Childhood and Juvenile Justice Court through the Project Justice for the 21st Century. We started from a situational diagnosis of each school to identify expressions of violence and ways of coping through the application of questionnaires to students and teachers. Restorative Justice is an inclusive and collaborative approach based on the values of inclusion, belonging, solidarity and active hearing which seeks the participation of students, teachers, community, family and network of support in the situation of conflicts and violence, aiming the restoring of social relations. Restorative practices have been deconstructing this culture of violence and promoting a peace culture in the schools. It concludes that bullying in the elementary education is the main expression of violence in the participating schools. Restorative circles carried out in the schools have contributed for dialogical practices and the building of agreements that met the needs of the victims and the affected community. 90% of the people felt listened and respected, which is an evidence of the continuing need of strengthening these practices in the school daily life. Among the many positive outcomes of the project in the schools it is worth to highlight the decrease in the referrals to Educational Guidance Services (SOE), direction of the institution or Children and Youth State Department (DECA) and feelings of safety that emerged from participation.
