GCRF Development Award: Mobile Arts for Peace (MAP)

MAP网络+发展奖将使我们能够加强多语言国家之间的合作和公平伙伴关系，包括吉尔吉斯斯坦（吉尔吉斯语，俄语，乌兹别克语），卢旺达（基尼亚卢旺达语，英语，法语，斯瓦希里语），印度尼西亚（印度尼西亚语）和尼泊尔（尼泊尔语）。尽管所有合作研究者都用英语与母语进行交流和写作，但MAP Network Plus项目旨在探索PI/Co-Is和项目合作伙伴以及利益相关者和受益者的各种翻译实践，以便以最舒适和最容易获得的语言进行交流。这一进程将在三个主要活动中进行试验，包括开发网站、网络研讨会和范围界定访问。Text United软件将嵌入到Microsoft Office和Sharepoint网站中，并与MAP网站一起通过发展奖资金开发。该软件将能够翻译通过添加到网站的文件以及所有指定语言的电子邮件通信进行的通信。在网络研讨会和范围界定访问期间，将通过使用同声传译服务和使用基于艺术的方法作为沟通和翻译工具来探索翻译。这些活动将通过审议澳大利亚人权委员会小组的纲要反馈意见，促进纲要建议中规定的MAP网络+总体项目的宗旨、目标和研究议程。特别是要处理以下几点：（a）解释选择四个国家的理由;（B）开展文献审查，确保有强有力的学术产出和非学术产出;（c）进一步讨论网络+如何处理不同的语言; d）、考虑到如果建议的国家课程改革不能实现，在确保政府的准入和影响国家当局的能力方面的潜在风险，实践; e）进一步制定目标和影响途径，以提供替代的变革途径; f）扩大PI和项目团队在管理大型项目方面的经验以及RO提供的支持网络。MAP Network Plus将通过以下活动解决这些问题：之所以选择这四个国家的情况，是因为它们参与了以前与《行动计划》有关的培训，并使用了以艺术为基础的研究方法。特别是，这四个国家将侧重于地方、区域和国家/国际各级的影响的各个方面。发展奖将使一些成功和挑战得以确定，并使国内合作伙伴能够为南南和南北指导建立一个强有力的结构，并确定产生影响的拟议途径。B）能力建设：网络研讨会和专题讨论会将邀请强大的学术和非学术合作伙伴进行文献审查，并探讨可能的共同制作的产出;与此同时，还将制定一项赠款和出版物支助战略，供所有伙伴国家制定。c）翻译：将试用Text United软件，以提供所有语言的通信。这一规定已被定为高度优先事项，特别是要惠及最边缘化的社区。（d）利益攸关方：咨询委员会将由主要利益攸关方组成，以考虑确保政府获取信息的潜在风险以及影响国家当局的能力。以此方式，提出不同的势力范围。（e）管理：将在各区域办事处与授标前和授标后小组举行会议，以建立一个支持网络，并确保在各级和各机构对项目进行协调一致的管理。

The MAP Network Plus Development Award will enable us to strengthen collaborative and equitable partnerships across multi-linguistic countries including Kyrgyzstan (Kyrgyz, Russian, Uzbek), Rwanda (Kinyarwanda, English, French, Swahili), Indonesia (Bahasa Indonesia), and Nepal (Nepali). Although all Co-Investigators speak and write in English alongside their mother tongue, the MAP Network Plus project will aim to explore varied translation practices for PI/Co-Is and project partners alongside stakeholders and beneficiaries to communicate in the language most comfortable and accessible for them. This process will be trialled across three main activities including the development of a website, webinar, and scoping visit. Text United software will be embedded within Microsoft Office and Sharepoint sites alongside the MAP website that will be developed through the Development Award funding. The software will enable the translation of communications via documents added to the website alongside email communications across all of the specified languages. During the webinar and scoping visit, translation will be explored through the use of simultaneous translation services and the use of arts-based methods as a communication and translation tool. These activities will contribute to the aims, objectives and research agenda for the overarching MAP Network Plus project specified in the outline proposal through the consideration of AHRC Panel outline feedback. In particular, to address the following points: a) to explain the rationale behind the four country contexts that have been chosen; b) to develop the literature review and secure strong academic outputs as well as non-academic outputs; c) to discuss further how the Network Plus will address different languages; d) to consider the potential risks around securing access from governments and of capacity to influence national authorities if the suggested change to national curricula does not materialise in practice; e) to further develop objectives and pathways to impact to give alternative routes to change; and f) to expand on the experience of the PI and Project Team in regards to managing large projects and the support network that will be available from the RO(s).MAP Network Plus will address these points through the noted activities as follows:a) Comparative Approach: The four country contexts have been chosen due to their varied engagement with former MAP-related training and use of arts-based research methods. In particular, the four countries will focus on varied aspects of impact from a local, regional and national/international level. The Development Award will enable some of the successes and challenges to be identified and for the in-country partners to establish a strong structure for South-South and North-South mentoring and to establish proposed pathways to impact.b) Capacity Building: The webinar and symposium will engage strong academic and non-academic partners to develop the literature review and to explore possible co-produced outputs; alongside the development of a grant and publication support strategy to be developed across all partnering countries. c) Translation: The Text United software will be trialed to provide communication across all languages. This provision has been set as a high priority; especially to reach the most marginalised communities. Arts-based approaches have been adopted to provide another form of communication to engage young people and policy makers.d) Stakeholders: The Advisory Board will consist of key stakeholders to consider the potential risks around securing access from governments and of capacity to influence national authorities. In this way, proposing varied spheres of influence. e) Management: Meetings will be conducted across the RO(s) with the pre and post award teams to establish a support network and to ensure cohesive management of the project at all levels and across institutions.
