This proposed award will support the development of the Edu-Peace Network (that will form the basis of our larger bid) through bringing academic and non-academic research partners from across the country contexts together in a series of workshops to strengthen and further develop our shared understandings and priorities for the network, to co-construct our contextualised research methodologies and to define the scope of our proposed activities. Through these dialogues, as a project team and with broader partners and advisors, we lay the foundations both for a coherent and cohesive research Network and for future collaborations. The proposed global Network for Edu-Peace is grounded in the assumption that educators in settings affected by conflict and crisis are already, to varying extents, working towards peace. The network aims to have a positive impact on the welfare of children and young people in settings affected by conflict and crisis through a focus on their education, and in particular through a focus on peace-building. Central to the Network is peer-to-peer learning and collaboration with academic, government, NGO and community partners through the identification of case studies in three regions affected by conflict: South-South East Asia (Bangladesh & Myanmar); the Horn of Africa (Somaliland & South Sudan); and the Middle East (Lebanon). Building on existing research, and connections with partners in these regions we aim to: deepen understandings of key challenges in emergency contexts; identify innovative and successful education and peacebuilding practice, particularly through case-studies of non-traditional education programmes or projects; highlight and develop conflict-sensitive and gender-sensitive provision; facilitate peer-to-peer learning and knowledge exchange; generate capacity and new pathways to locally-responsive impact; generate new interdisciplinary knowledge that will advance the fields of Education, Law, Politics, Gender Studies and History. The locations for our joint meetings have been chosen to maximise opportunities for co-production of the research agenda and methodologies and to allow for further stakeholder and community engagement which will strengthen the local relevance of the Network and support South-South collaboration and learning. This also provides us with an opportunity to test the ease of travel, including visa applications, for team members in order to develop a sound plan for future collaboration and Network activities. Three main workshops are planned in:Nairobi, Kenya - hosted by the Kenya office of Rift Valley Institute:Dhaka, Bangladesh - hosted by the Liberation War Museum; Cambridge, UK - hosted by the Faculty of Education, University of Cambridge; The third smaller meeting is planned to take advantage of visits to the UK by the LMIC CIs and partners for the Network Plus grant interview in December. Additionally, Network advisor and potential project partner, Dr Maha Shuayb, Director of the Centre for Lebanese Studies at the Lebanese American University will be in Cambridge as a Visiting Scholar during this period, so a small meeting provides the opportunity for partners from South Sudan and Bangladesh to consolidate research connections with further Lebanese collaborators.

该拟议奖项将通过将来自全国各地的学术和非学术研究合作伙伴聚集在一起举办一系列研讨会，支持教育和平网络的发展（这将构成我们更大的投标的基础），以加强和进一步发展我们对网络的共同理解和优先事项，共同构建我们的情境化研究方法，并确定我们拟议活动的范围。通过这些对话，作为一个项目团队以及更广泛的合作伙伴和顾问，我们为连贯和有凝聚力的研究网络以及未来的合作奠定了基础。拟议的全球教育和平网络基于这样的假设：受冲突和危机影响的环境中的教育工作者已经在不同程度上为和平而努力。该网络旨在通过关注受冲突和危机影响的儿童和青少年的教育，特别是建设和平，对他们的福祉产生积极影响。该网络的核心是通过确定受冲突影响的三个地区的案例研究，与学术界、政府、非政府组织和社区伙伴进行同行学习和合作：东南亚（孟加拉国和缅甸）；非洲之角（索马里兰和南苏丹）；和中东（黎巴嫩）。基于现有研究以及与这些地区合作伙伴的联系，我们的目标是： 加深对紧急情况下关键挑战的理解；确定创新和成功的教育与建设和平实践，特别是通过非传统教育方案或项目的案例研究；突出并制定对冲突敏感和对性别问题敏感的规定；促进同行学习和知识交流；产生能力和新途径以产生针对当地的影响；产生新的跨学科知识，推动教育、法律、政治、性别研究和历史领域的发展。我们选择联席会议地点的目的是为了最大限度地增加共同制定研究议程和方法的机会，并允许利益相关者和社区进一步参与，这将加强该网络的当地相关性并支持南南合作和学习。这也为我们提供了一个机会来测试团队成员的旅行便利性，包括签证申请，以便为未来的合作和网络活动制定合理的计划。计划举办三个主要研讨会：肯尼亚内罗毕——由裂谷研究所肯尼亚办事处主办；孟加拉国达卡——由解放战争博物馆主办；英国剑桥——由剑桥大学教育学院主办；第三次小型会议计划利用中低收入国家 CI 和合作伙伴于 12 月访问英国进行 Network Plus 拨款面试的机会。此外，网络顾问和潜在项目合作伙伴、黎巴嫩美国大学黎巴嫩研究中心主任 Maha Shuayb 博士在此期间将作为访问学者前往剑桥，因此一次小型会议为来自南苏丹和孟加拉国的合作伙伴提供了巩固与更多黎巴嫩合作者的研究联系的机会。
