项目摘要

This network will bring together scholars, artists, activists and local communities to explore how traditional arts, cultural practices and rituals can help with the promotion of human rights and democracy in Sri Lanka. It addresses a current limitation of human rights education that focuses on abstract moral and legal principles and formal institutions (like courts and the UN) which are very distant and inaccessible to many groups within society. It also confronts the question of how to achieve the necessary social and cultural transformation for human rights and democracy to be realised in everyday life.The network will develop research strategies for:1. Identifying forgotten, under-valued and/or peripheral traditions and arts that might contribute to new ideas about the culture and its potential to be more equal and inclusive;2. Working with communities to re-imagine existing myths, stories, traditions and cultural practices in ways that challenge social injustice and promote greater gender and social equality;3. Incorporating previously marginalised groups' views, practices and knowledge into formal educational spaces and development and human rights practice;4. Exploring the links between the arts and politics and tradition/culture and rights.

这个网络将汇集学者、艺术家、活动人士和当地社区，探讨传统艺术、文化习俗和仪式如何有助于促进斯里兰卡的人权和民主。它解决了目前人权教育的局限性，即侧重于抽象的道德和法律原则以及社会中许多群体非常遥远和难以接触的正式机构（如法院和联合国）。它还面临如何实现必要的社会和文化变革以便在日常生活中实现人权和民主的问题。该网络将为以下方面制定研究策略：识别被遗忘的、被低估的和/或边缘的传统和艺术，这些传统和艺术可能有助于对文化及其更平等和包容的潜力产生新的想法；2 .与社区合作，以挑战社会不公正和促进更大程度的性别和社会平等的方式，重新想象现有的神话、故事、传统和文化习俗；3 .将以前被边缘化群体的观点、做法和知识纳入正规的教育空间、发展和人权实践；探索艺术与政治、传统/文化和权利之间的联系。
