项目摘要

Global numbers of Forcefully Displaced Persons (FDPs) is rising, with the majority being hosted by Low and Middle-Income Countries (LMIC), which can exacerbate the economic and social challenges these countries face while compounding tensions between FDPs and the host communities as they have to share scarce resources. Efforts to reduce conflict center largely on providing humanitarian aid, vocational training, and expanding the provision of welfare services, underplaying the importance of promoting peace, dialogue and intercultural learning between the groups. This network aims to address this challenge by using photography as an educational tool and photograph artefacts as a teaching and learning resource to evaluate the potential of photovoice and visual story telling as an informal learning platform for fostering peaceful relations between the communities and easing sustainable integration of FDPs. The overarching aim is to understand how visual arts and photography training can have a redistributive effect in reducing inequalities perpetuated by intersectionality of gender, ethnicity, language, sexuality, and nationality and in mitigating tensions for peace-building through comparative research in South Africa, Turkey and Uganda. These countries host millions of FDPs. The consortium of these countries provides an enriching multi-sited context to explore the role of photography as an educational tool and the participatory methodology as an informal learning space for establishing a culture of peace, exchange of cultural knowledge, and intercultural learning. The participatory and bottom up programs that could foster capacity building, reconciliation and societal transformation between FDPs and host communities are often ignored for the sake of economic concerns. The central aim of the network is to bring researchers, policy makers, NGOs, local actors, photographers, practitioners, FDPs and host community members to discuss photography and arts based participatory methods in providing an informal learning education opportunity for peace that could be enhanced through policy and practice. The network assembles expertise in education, photography, conflict and forced migration. The co-applicants in each country have a track record in policy-relevant research and are well networked nationally and regionally with academic, and policy actors. The network will interact through a mix of virtual and face-to-face means. Our hypothesis is that arts training and activities conducted in an informal setting can be used for community building, and learning to live together can make important contribution to the welfare of both FDPs and host communities. To assess whether and how such benefits may be occurring and what are the best visual arts practices of adopting such a methodology, the co-applicants first have to map existing data and literature in order to gain a much clearer picture of the dynamics of FDPs and host communities and ways of improving dialogue and participatory methodologies. The outcome will be the use of visual arts as a medium to learning to live together, understand cultural diversity, ways of preventing discrimination and inequalities. We will develop a series of collaborative bids to GCRF and other funders. The network will innovate by dialogue and photography based participatory action research and academic and practitioner networks to meet the learning needs FDPs and host communities as well as local actors who engage with them. Theoretically, the network recognizes that visual arts are a powerful tool for promoting human development, equipping people with necessary learning and capabilities to access sustainable livelihood assets that go beyond income generation. It can also include non-material aspects of education such as: well-being, support peace-building, self-development, equity, social relations based on respect and equality, and positive and negative freedoms for a life with dignity.

全球被迫流离失所者（FDPs）人数正在上升，其中大多数由低收入和中等收入国家（LMIC）收容，这可能加剧这些国家面临的经济和社会挑战，同时加剧了被迫流离失所者与收容社区之间的紧张关系，因为他们必须共享稀缺的资源。减少冲突的努力主要集中在提供人道主义援助、职业培训和扩大福利服务的提供上，而忽视了促进和平、对话和群体间跨文化学习的重要性。该网络旨在应对这一挑战，利用摄影作为一种教育工具，将照片文物作为一种教学资源，评估照片声音和视觉故事讲述作为一种非正式学习平台的潜力，以促进社区之间的和平关系，并促进流离失所者的可持续融入。总体目标是了解视觉艺术和摄影培训如何在减少性别、种族、语言、性和国籍的交叉性所造成的不平等方面产生再分配效应，并通过在南非、土耳其和乌干达的比较研究缓解和平建设的紧张局势。这些国家收容了数百万流离失所者。这些国家的联盟提供了丰富的多地点背景，探索摄影作为一种教育工具的作用，以及作为建立和平文化、文化知识交流和跨文化学习的非正式学习空间的参与式方法。参与性和自下而上的项目可以促进流离失所者和收容社区之间的能力建设、和解和社会转型，但往往因为经济问题而被忽视。该网络的中心目标是召集研究人员、政策制定者、非政府组织、当地行动者、摄影师、从业人员、难民和收容社区成员，讨论以摄影和艺术为基础的参与性方法，为和平提供非正式的学习教育机会，并通过政策和实践加以加强。该网络汇集了教育、摄影、冲突和强迫移民方面的专业知识。每个国家的共同申请者都有政策相关研究的记录，并且在国家和区域上与学术和政策行为者建立了良好的网络。该网络将通过虚拟和面对面的方式进行互动。我们的假设是，在非正式环境中进行的艺术培训和活动可以用于社区建设，学习共同生活可以为流离失所者和收容社区的福利做出重要贡献。为了评估这些益处是否以及如何产生，以及采用这种方法的最佳视觉艺术实践是什么，共同申请者首先必须绘制现有的数据和文献，以便更清楚地了解fdp和收容社区的动态，以及改善对话和参与方法的方法。结果将是使用视觉艺术作为学习共同生活，理解文化多样性，防止歧视和不平等的方法的媒介。我们将为GCRF和其他资助者制定一系列合作投标。该网络将通过对话和摄影为基础的参与性行动研究以及学术和实践者网络进行创新，以满足流离失所者和收容社区以及与他们接触的当地行动者的学习需求。从理论上讲，该网络认识到视觉艺术是促进人类发展的有力工具，使人们具备必要的学习和能力，从而获得除了创收之外的可持续生计资产。它还可以包括教育的非物质方面，例如：福利、支持建设和平、自我发展、公平、基于尊重和平等的社会关系、有尊严的生活的积极和消极自由。
