项目摘要

This research will study how art-based therapies can support child wellbeing in the context of conflict. Our work is set within the Indian territory of Jammu and Kashmir. In August 2019, the Indian Government withdrew the State of Jammu and Kashmir's semi-autonomous status by repealing article 370 and 35A from the Indian Constitution. This was followed by a lockdown, which included blackout of all internet services and telephone networks, widespread curfews, and closing down of public transport and many other public services. While there is limited research on children and conflict in Kashmir, scholarship from other contexts demonstrates that children are particularly vulnerable in militarised areas and that healing trauma is central for sustainable peace. As the lockdown in Kashmir eases, it is a critical time to facilitate healing and wellbeing for those who have experienced trauma. According to our partners in Kashmir, many children feel isolated, 'numb', and are expressing emotional and behaviour symptoms consistent with PTSD. Our local partners in Pulwama, Kashmir - the Dolphin School - run a Wellness Programme through which they provide support to symptomatic children expressing a desire for assistance. The school is well-versed in the arts (the principle has studied and delivered Arts-Based Therapy) and hopes to draw on the power of creativity to facilitate healing. In this project we will support the Dolphin School to deliver drama, visual arts, and puppetry, to children for therapeutic benefits. Our central research question: what is the potential for arts activities and arts-based therapies to support the mental health and wellbeing of children affected by conflict?This question will be investigated via three phases over 10 months Phase 1 (May 2020): project initiation and establishment of draft evaluation mechanisms. This will be a quick start up that includes two literature reviews led by the academic team and a workshop held in Bristol. Through this phase we will: i) establish our baseline expectations regarding how we believe art therapies can benefit children at the Dolphin School; ii) agree the evaluation strategy and iii) finalise travel, risk management, safeguarding and ethics.Phase 2 (May-June to November 2020): delivering art activities to children in Kashmir and evaluating the impact. Following our second workshop, we will facilitate the delivery of the arts activities (by arts partners Katkatha and Vikramjeet Sinha) at the Dolphin School. Phase 2 also includes research fieldwork including: a) on-site evaluation; b) interviews with stakeholders and NGOs; and c) visual documentation. Phase 3 (November 2020 to February 2021): involves analysis, refinement of outputs, dissemination and impact. We will hold two further workshops in Kashmir to facilitate evaluation and sharing of amongst our partners and beyond. In addition, we will facilitate the development of a training module / workbook that can be used by arts practitioners looking to advance arts approaches to wellbeing in Kashmir and other conflict areas. Outputs: The project will result in a number of outputs including a contribution to the health and wellbeing of children in Kashmir. In addition, we will produce: three journal articles across three disciplines; policy outputs (project report and short summaries); a website and blog narrating the experiences; a locally-produced film documentation of the project (and training for a local film-maker); and a workbook / training module for future arts activities and art based therapies in Kashmir.Feasibility note: we have received preliminary approval from UWE Health and Safety team to travel to Kashmir. This approval will be reviewed as the university and staff monitor restrictions and impacts associated with COVID-19. As we have robust local collaborations in place, we are confident that we can deliver this research remotely if travel restrictions limit UK travel.

这项研究将研究如何以艺术为基础的疗法可以支持儿童在冲突的背景下的福祉。我们的工作是建立在印度境内的查谟和克什米尔。2019年8月，印度政府通过废除印度宪法第370条和第35 A条，撤销了查谟和克什米尔邦的半自治地位。随后是封锁，其中包括所有互联网服务和电话网络的停电，广泛的宵禁，以及公共交通和许多其他公共服务的关闭。虽然对克什米尔儿童和冲突的研究有限，但其他情况下的奖学金表明，儿童在军事化地区特别脆弱，愈合创伤是可持续和平的核心。随着克什米尔封锁的缓解，这是一个关键时刻，以促进愈合和福祉的那些谁经历了创伤。据我们在克什米尔的合作伙伴说，许多儿童感到孤立，“被孤立”，并表现出与创伤后应激障碍一致的情绪和行为症状。我们在克什米尔普尔瓦马的当地合作伙伴--海豚学校--开展了一项健康计划，通过该计划，他们为有症状的儿童提供支持，表达他们对帮助的渴望。这所学校精通艺术（该原则已经研究并提供了基于艺术的治疗），并希望利用创造力来促进愈合。在这个项目中，我们将支持海豚学校提供戏剧，视觉艺术和木偶，为儿童的治疗效益。我们的中心研究问题：艺术活动和基于艺术的疗法在支持受冲突影响的儿童的心理健康和福祉方面的潜力如何？这个问题将在10个月内分三个阶段进行调查第一阶段（2020年5月）：项目启动和建立评估机制草案。这将是一个快速启动，包括两个文献综述领导的学术团队和研讨会在布里斯托举行。在这一阶段，我们将：第二阶段（2020年5月至6月至11月）：为海豚地区的儿童提供艺术活动，并评估其影响。第二阶段（2020年5月至6月至11月）：为克什米尔地区的儿童提供艺术活动，并评估其影响。在我们的第二次研讨会之后，我们将促进在海豚学校开展艺术活动（由艺术合作伙伴Katkatha和Vikramjeet Sinha）。第二阶段还包括实地研究工作，包括：a）现场评估; B）与利益攸关方和非政府组织的访谈; c）视觉文件。第三阶段（2020年11月至2021年2月）：涉及分析、完善产出、传播和影响。我们将在克什米尔再举办两次研讨会，以促进我们的合作伙伴和其他伙伴之间的评估和分享。此外，我们将促进开发一个培训模块/工作手册，可供艺术从业者使用，以促进克什米尔和其他冲突地区的艺术方法。产出：该项目将产生若干产出，包括促进克什米尔儿童的健康和福利。此外，我们将制作：三个学科的三篇期刊文章;政策产出（项目报告和简短摘要）;介绍经验的网站和博客;记录项目的当地制作的电影（和对当地电影制片人的培训）;以及克什米尔未来艺术活动和艺术疗法的练习册/培训模块。我们已经收到UWE健康和安全团队的初步批准，前往克什米尔。该批准将在大学和工作人员监测与COVID-19相关的限制和影响时进行审查。由于我们有强大的本地合作，我们有信心，如果旅行限制限制英国旅行，我们可以远程提供这项研究。
