The Animating Heritage and Stigma project will build on the successes of two Connected Communities funded programmes - Heritage and Stigma, and Untold Stories of Volunteering. The shared aims of these original and discrete projects were to allow their participants to help shape the projects they were part of and thus represent themselves in their own terms. In particular, service users and volunteers were invited to co-design the research and co-produce its output. This new project aims to take the findings from Heritage and Stigma, which reflected the 'ordinariness' of mental health and learning disability, and use the techniques crafted by the Untold Stories of Volunteering to reach new audiences. We will use the existing testimonies collected and created by Heritage and Stigma and 'animate' them by employing Cultural Animation, a methodology of stakeholder engagement and knowledge co-production developed by Untold Stories of Volunteering to explore key themes. Cultural animation allows participants to co-produce stories using plays, songs and other creative activities to give participants a 'voice'. Pioneered by the team at the New Vic Theatre and Kindle Partnerships, who are partners on this bid, it involves acknowledging and critically approaching existing power and knowledge hierarchies and taking steps to minimise them. This way of working was unforeseen in the original Heritage and Stigma project,which was limited by its terms of reference to capture service user testimonies and to present them as part of a museum project. It was also limited in terms of its geography focusing in and around the Leeds city region. Similarly, the focus of Untold Stories was not on mental health but by employing its Cultural Animation techniques the partners will work together to ensure the long-term legacy of this new project by consulting with and showcasing outputs to key stakeholders and policy makers on a national and international level. This will allow us to create new and meaningful ways of dissemination that also broaden the geographical scope. It will also develop and provide a toolkit for community groups, broadly defined, to explore their own heritage and histories. This interest from community groups was also unforeseen in the original projects and toolkits will allow us to give the original research value beyond the original group of co-producers. To achieve our goals, the project team has identified five key stakeholder groups with whom we will work. These are school groups, mental health and learning disability professionals, social policy makers, international 'gatekeepers' in the USA and Japan, and community researchers. None of these groups were foreseen in the original Heritage and Stigma bid and these stakeholders have been chosen, not only for their demand and interest in the project but also because of their ability to effect organisational change. In each case, the participants will be introduced to the issues arising from Heritage and Stigma, focusing on the pathways to acceptance and understanding of marginalised groups. Overall the project will encourage participants to challenge notions of stigma with a view to improving the understanding and acceptance of marginalised groups. The project's key outcomes will be: 1. The co-creation and dissemination of a transformative drama for use in schools during the lifetime of the project and beyond. 2. The development of cultural animation materials to be used in conjunction with the drama to inform the training of mental health professionals in an understanding of patient and service user perspectives. 3. The creation of a 'toolkit' for community researchers to explore their own histories which will be tested and shared at key points in the life time of the project. 4. The co-creation and dissemination of project outputs to policy makers at a national and international level with a view to creating inclusive dialogues about the nature and future of care.

活跃的遗产和耻辱项目将建立在两个由互联社区资助的项目的成功基础上--遗产和耻辱，以及志愿服务的不为人知的故事。这些最初的和离散的项目的共同目标是允许其参与者帮助塑造他们所参与的项目，从而用他们自己的术语来代表他们自己。特别是，服务用户和志愿者被邀请共同设计这项研究并共同制作其成果。这一新项目旨在利用《传统与耻辱》杂志的研究结果，利用《不为人知的志愿故事》制作的技术来接触到新的受众。《传统与耻辱》反映了心理健康和学习障碍这两个问题。我们将利用遗产和耻辱组织收集和创建的现有证词，并通过使用文化动画来使它们“生动”起来，文化动画是一种利益相关者参与和知识联合制作的方法论，由不为人知的志愿者故事开发，以探索关键主题。文化动漫让参与者可以通过戏剧、歌曲和其他创造性活动共同制作故事，让参与者发出自己的声音。它由New Vic Theatre和Kindle Partners的团队率先提出，他们是此次竞标的合作伙伴，它涉及承认并批判性地接近现有的权力和知识等级，并采取措施将其降至最低。这种工作方式在最初的遗产和耻辱项目中是没有预见到的，该项目受到其职权范围的限制，即收集服务用户的证词并将其作为博物馆项目的一部分展示。它在地理上也受到限制，主要集中在利兹市及其周围地区。同样，《不为人知的故事》的重点不是心理健康，而是通过使用其文化动画技术，合作伙伴将共同努力，通过与国家和国际一级的主要利益攸关方和政策制定者进行磋商并向他们展示成果，确保这一新项目的长期遗产。这将使我们能够创造新的、有意义的传播方式，扩大地域范围。它还将为社区团体开发和提供一个广泛定义的工具包，以探索他们自己的遗产和历史。社区团体的这种兴趣在最初的项目中也是意想不到的，工具包将使我们能够赋予最初的研究价值，而不是最初的联合制作人小组。为了实现我们的目标，项目团队确定了我们将与之合作的五个关键利益相关者群体。他们是学校团体、心理健康和学习障碍专业人士、社会政策制定者、美国和日本的国际“看门人”，以及社区研究人员。在最初的遗产和耻辱竞标中没有预见到这些群体，选择这些利益相关者不仅是因为他们对项目的需求和兴趣，也是因为他们有能力实现组织变革。在每一种情况下，将向参与者介绍遗产和耻辱引起的问题，重点是接受和理解被边缘化群体的途径。总体而言，该项目将鼓励参与者挑战污名的观念，以期增进对边缘化群体的理解和接受。该项目的主要成果将是：1.共同创作和传播一部变革性戏剧，供项目期间及以后的学校使用。2.开发文化动画材料，与戏剧结合使用，为培训心理健康专业人员了解病人和服务用户的观点提供信息。3.为社区研究人员创建一个“工具包”，以探索他们自己的历史，这些历史将在项目生命周期的关键时刻进行测试和分享。4.在国家和国际两级共同创建和向决策者传播项目产出，以期就护理的性质和未来开展包容性对话。
