Culture for Sustainable and Inclusive Peace (CUSP)

可持续和包容性和平文化网络+ (CUSP N+)响应“预防冲突，建设可持续和包容性和平”的呼吁。它汇集了来自低收入和中等收入国家（加纳、墨西哥、摩洛哥、巴勒斯坦和津巴布韦）的非学术合作伙伴，他们在不同的艺术和文化环境（如舞蹈、戏剧、文学、音乐）中与年轻人合作。CUSP的主要目标是加强中低收入国家的艺术和文化机构/组织，使它们成为识别和转变社会冲突的参考点。通过与核心合作伙伴（链1）进行原创性研究，委托新合作伙伴（链2）进行研究，以及综合见解和知识交流/共享（链3），CUSP将重点关注每个合作伙伴和背景确定的N+研究议程所需的关键问题。它们是：(a)全球南方社区脆弱但目前具有复原力的文化工作；(b)南部地区的艺术和文化工作，作为探索和分享预防冲突和转变冲突的相关战略的手段；(c)促进个人福祉和可持续就业的文化艺术工作；(d)建立南南和南北伙伴关系并建立网络，以分享可持续的文化和治理实践，最大限度地扩大数字技术在艺术可持续性和和平文化变革方面的覆盖面和可用性。在第一阶段，CUSP N+合作伙伴将与各地的艺术和文化组织合作，确定、探索和传播适合文化和年龄的冲突转变战略，以实现与妇女和女孩所面临的挑战相关的积极变化。CUSP N+合作伙伴将反思并分享对流程和结果的见解。通过委托开展新的研究，进一步探索新出现的主题、悬而未决的问题和实践在不同情况下的“可译性”，将扩大和完善由此制定的活动组合。CUSP还将参与对网络内部动态的持续批判性反思，因为它采用冲突转换策略也可以协同工作。研究结果的综合和方法的分歧将为理论、方法和面向政策的问题提供创新的见解。汇集了来自一系列学科的专业知识（即戏剧研究、艺术实践、语言、文学和文化研究、性别研究、人类学、社会学、后殖民研究），CUSP建立并扩大了与一系列合作伙伴在脆弱环境、冲突和长期危机环境中建立的学术和非学术合作。在加纳，我们与年轻的表演者合作，对他们来说，舞蹈可以提供一种方式，让他们在弱势背景、贫困、边缘化以及某些情况下的家庭暴力中生存下来。在加沙地带，我们与教育工作者和艺术家合作，他们在经济崩溃和不断的军事暴力威胁下创造性地应对缺乏就业前景的问题；在津巴布韦，我们与艺术家和作家合作，他们在极其脆弱和动荡的政治、经济和物质环境中找到戏剧和文学的力量；在墨西哥，我们支持调解员和其他专业人员，他们通过书籍和艺术，帮助因贫困和暴力而流离失所的儿童和年轻人；在摩洛哥，我们与文化行动者合作，通过为所有人制作、传播和消费艺术，重振公民价值观和民主参与。与我们建立了伙伴关系的在联合王国处理具有挑战性情况的年轻人，例如寻求庇护和避难的年轻人，也将作为顾问参与综合和传播工作，并探索南南和南北交流的学习潜力

The Culture for Sustainable and Inclusive Peace Network Plus (CUSP N+) addresses the call "Preventing Conflict, Building Sustainable and Inclusive Peace". It draws together non-academic partners from Low- and Middle-Income Countries (Ghana, Mexico, Morocco, Palestine and Zimbabwe) who work with young people in different artistic and cultural settings (e.g. dance, theatre, literature, music). CUSP's main aim is to strengthen arts and cultural institutions/organisations in LMIC, so they can become a reference point for the identification and transformation of social conflict. Through original research with core partners (strand 1), the commissioning of research to new partners (strand 2) and the synthesis of insights and knowledge exchange/sharing (strand 3), CUSP will focus on key issues identified as desirable for the N+ research agenda by each partner and context. These are: (a) fragile, and presently resilient cultural work in communities of the Global South; (b) the arts and cultural work in southern contexts as means to explore and share relevant strategies for conflict prevention and conflict transformation; (c) the arts and cultural work for the promotion of individual wellbeing and sustainable employment; and (d) South-South and South-North partnership building and networking towards the sharing of sustainable cultural and governance practices to maximise the reach and usability of digital technologies for artistic sustainability and peaceful cultural change.During strand 1, CUSP N+ partners will work with artistic and cultural organisations in each location to identify, explore and disseminate culturally- and age-appropriate conflict transformation strategies to achieve positive change in relation to challenges experienced by women and girls. CUSP N+ partners will reflect on and share insights on processes and outcomes. The portfolio of activities thus developed will be expanded and refined through the commissioning of new research to explore further emerging themes, open questions and 'translatability' of practices to different contexts. CUSP will also engage in ongoing critical reflection on the internal dynamics of the network as it employs conflict transformation strategies also to work collaboratively. The synthesis of findings, and divergence of approaches, will offer innovative insights in relation to theoretical, methodological and policy-oriented questions.Drawing together expertise from a range of disciplines (i.e. theatre studies; arts practice; languages, literature and cultural studies; gender studies; anthropology; sociology; postcolonial studies) CUSP builds on and expands established academic and non-academic collaborations with a range of partners based in fragile contexts and contexts of conflict and protracted crisis. In Ghana we work with young performers to whom dance can offer a way to survive disadvantaged backgrounds, deprivation, marginalisation and, in some cases, domestic violence. In the Gaza Strip, we work with educators and artists who respond creatively to lack of employment prospects in a collapsing economy and under constant threat of military violence; in Zimbabwe, we work with artists and writers who find strength in theatre and literature in what is an extremely fragile and volatile political, economic and material environment; in Mexico we support mediators and other professionals who, through books and the arts, work with children and young people displaced by poverty and violence; in Morocco, we work with cultural actors to revitalise civic values and democratic engagement through the production, dissemination and consumption of arts for all. Young people dealing with challenging situations in the UK with whom we have established partnerships, such as those seeking asylum and refuge, will also be engaged as consultants and in the work of synthesis and dissemination, and to explore potential for learning that flows South-to-South and South-to-North
