Governance necessary to promote peaceful society and access to justice as proposed in the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 16 would require trust as it provides a foundation for interpersonal and impersonal relationships, collaboration and institutional stability. However, trust is often broken both at interpersonal and impersonal levels in conflict-affected society and many peacebuilders and peace researchers view the lack of trust as a key challenge for peacebuilding in both research and practice. Trust is considered to be about taking risk arisen from others' behaviour and inter-reliance. Institutions can provide safety and security in the process of interpersonal interactions to enable trust, such as procedural ethics underpinned by values of fairness, respect, care and honesty. However, such institutional based trust would not suffice, especially in conflict-affected society, and other conditions such as one's belief system developed through life experiences and the history of specific relationships impact on the ability to trust. Reflecting on our ethics in practice is one step forward in this direction to enhance trust in research and practice of peacebuilding. Furthermore, our ethics are underpinned by our values although values are seldom discussed among peacebuilding researchers or practitioners. This crucial interconnection between values, ethics and trust to improve peacebuilding efforts and research has not received sufficient attention from peace academics and practitioners. To address this overlooked space, we seek to create a new network on values, ethics and trust in peacebuilding by bringing together scholars and practitioners working on peacebuilding research and activity across the world to better understand unspoken values and assumptions that underpin our ethics in practice and how our practised ethics may impact trust in our peacebuilding work. In essence, we want to research the researcher and encourage early career and PhD researchers from our networks.We will begin by unpacking our values that are often unspoken in an introductory workshop with the use of a film, circle, and 'giving voice to value' presentation. Second, third and fourth workshops will be held in the Philippines, Kenya and the UK (joined by other participants virtually) developed and led by the project investigators from Asia, Africa and Europe and participated by practitioners from their regional networks and other investigators' networks. Using different topics and methods suitable for the regional contexts, including art-based methods, we will uncover various themes and issues around values, ethics and trust. Fifth, and final, workshop will bring together the discovery from the previous workshops to sketch a journal article on values, ethics and trust in peacebuilding and develop a research agenda for the newly developed network to apply for funding opportunities. The project will produce four types of outputs through collaborative writing for a wide engagement with the crucial interlinkage between values, ethics and trust in peacebuilding as well as for capacity building. Firstly, we will publish a think piece from each workshop on freely available online platforms. Secondly, we will publish Little Book of Values, Morals, Ethics and Trust for Peace-Related Research, which will be part manifesto and part practical guide, featuring case studies from workshops participants and images collected during the workshops, under Creative Commons license allowing for maximum uptake and translation. Thirdly, we will create films capturing the process and reflections of participants during the network activities and distribute them through the CTPSR YouTube channel. Fourthly, we will submit two journal articles, one on uncovering our values and another on values, ethics and trust in peacebuilding, to relevant academic journals.

可持续发展目标16中提出的促进和平社会和诉诸司法所需的治理需要信任，因为信任为人际关系和非人际关系、协作和机构稳定提供了基础。然而，在受冲突影响的社会中，信任往往在人际和非个人层面上被打破，许多和平建设者和和平研究人员认为，缺乏信任是研究和实践中建设和平的一个关键挑战。信任被认为是承担他人行为和相互依赖所产生的风险。机构可以在人际交往过程中提供安全保障，以建立信任，例如以公平、尊重、关怀和诚实的价值观为基础的程序道德。然而，这种基于体制的信任是不够的，特别是在受冲突影响的社会，其他条件，如一个人通过生活经历和特定关系的历史发展起来的信仰体系，也会影响信任的能力。在实践中反思我们的道德操守，是朝着这一方向迈出的一步，以加强对建设和平研究和实践的信任。此外，我们的价值观支撑着我们的道德操守，尽管建设和平研究人员或实践者很少讨论价值观。价值观、道德和信任之间的这种至关重要的相互联系，对于改善建设和平的努力和研究，尚未得到和平学者和实践者的足够重视。为了解决这一被忽视的领域，我们寻求建立一个关于建设和平中的价值观、道德和信任的新网络，将世界各地从事建设和平研究和活动的学者和从业人员聚集在一起，以更好地了解在实践中支撑我们道德操守的不言而喻的价值观和假设，以及我们实践的道德操守如何影响我们建设和平工作中的信任。从本质上讲，我们希望研究研究人员，并鼓励我们网络中的早期职业和博士研究人员。我们将开始，通过使用电影，圆圈和“为价值发声”演示来解开我们的价值观，这些价值观通常在介绍性研讨会中没有说出来。第二、第三和第四期讲习班将在菲律宾、肯尼亚和联合王国举行（其他与会者虚拟参加），由来自亚洲、非洲和欧洲的项目调查人员制定和领导，其区域网络和其他调查人员网络的从业人员参加。使用适合区域背景的不同主题和方法，包括基于艺术的方法，我们将揭示围绕价值观，道德和信任的各种主题和问题。第五，也是最后一个，讲习班将汇集以前讲习班的发现，起草一篇关于建设和平中的价值观、道德和信任的期刊文章，并为新开发的网络制定研究议程，以申请资助机会。该项目将通过协作写作产生四类产出，以广泛参与建设和平中的价值观、道德和信任之间的重要联系以及能力建设。首先，我们将在免费的在线平台上发布每个研讨会的想法。第二，我们将出版《和平研究价值观、道德、伦理和信任小书》，这本书将是宣言和实践指南的一部分，其中包括讲习班参与者的案例研究和讲习班期间收集的图像，根据知识共享许可证，允许最大限度地吸收和翻译。第三，我们将制作影片，捕捉网络活动中参与者的过程和思考，并通过CTPSR YouTube频道分发。第四，我们将向有关学术期刊提交两篇期刊文章，一篇是关于揭示我们的价值观，另一篇是关于建设和平中的价值观、道德和信任。
