Helping to shape global conversations on poverty to 2015 and beyond: A shame-proofing Toolkit.

该项目实施了一项多媒体、多机构传播和利用策略，该策略是根据ESRC/DFID研究项目的研究结果制定的；羞耻、贫困和社会排斥：七个国家的比较分析（资助参考号：RES-167-25-0557）。在全球讨论千年发展目标未来的背景下，总体目标是影响围绕贫困问题的公众、媒体和政策辩论，并通过集中注意促进生活在贫困中的人的尊严的好处，帮助提高国家和全球政策的效力。一个核心组成部分是“防羞耻工具包”，这是一个专门设计的基于网络的资源，其中包含不同的材料，旨在提醒政策制定者、从业者和公众注意贫困的心理和社会影响。ESRC/DFID的研究表明，贫困人口经常因为无法承担充分参与社会的费用而感到羞耻，因为他们在政治和媒体话语以及与公共机构打交道时感到羞耻。与贫穷有关的羞耻感限制了个人能动性，最终助长了贫穷的延续；因此，从经济角度考虑其影响是必要的。从社会保障最低标准到小额信贷倡议的反贫困政策需要“不受羞辱”，以确保它们促进而不是损害人的尊严和能动性。同样，我们需要建立机制，使公众舆论对以下问题敏感：1)对贫困人口的消极态度（羞辱）是如何在文化和社会上形成的；2)每个人如何在挑战这种态度方面发挥作用。该工具包包括：1)核心材料，包括政策和实践的关键原则、最佳实践指南、说明性案例研究和课程材料。这些将从ESRC/DFID的研究中提取，但是通过与六个国家的贫困人口举行的一系列讲习班来形成传播产出。这些讲习班将与第四届世界发展论坛合作举办，作为2013年全球发展问题世界首脑会议之前关于贫困问题的更广泛对话的一部分。2)与其他主要合作伙伴合作设计的补充大众媒体资源，包括：a)与Mediae（非政府组织教育促进发展）将故事情节纳入肥皂剧- Makutano Junction（在东非放映数百万观众，并在英国的学校中用作教育资源）b)与Media Trust（非政府组织）一起制作了一系列关于五个ESRC/DFID研究国家（英国，挪威，乌干达，韩国和印度）的贫困相关羞耻经历的短片c)与Pegasus青年剧院（非政府组织），根据《堆》一书（关于儿童的贫穷和羞耻经历）设计和制作一个教育戏剧节目。该项目还将为英国学校制作英语/戏剧课程教材。最终的剧本将在英国和国际巡演，并录制和数字化，以便通过项目网站等更广泛地传播。除了直接播放外，这些媒体还将成为“防耻工具包”的一部分，通过另一个合作伙伴“软创新”（Soft Innovators， SI）专门建立的互动网站发布。该网站将为全球讨论贫困问题提供一个平台，并提供一系列相关倡议和资源的链接。作为衡量整个传播和利用项目影响的过程的一部分，将对其使用进行调节和监测。研究结果还将直接用于影响国家和全球反贫困政策（这一进程已经开始，通过一系列讲习班向世界银行和劳工组织等国际政策论坛以及英国、印度、中国、挪威和乌干达的国家政府和非政府组织政策论坛介绍研究结果）。

This project implements a multi-media, multi-agency dissemination and utilisation strategy developed from the findings of the ESRC/DFID research project; Shame, Poverty and Social Exclusion: A comparative analysis in seven countries (Grant Reference: RES-167-25-0557). In the context of global discussions on the future of the Millennium Development Goals, the overall goal is to influence public, media and policy debates around poverty and to help improve the effectiveness of national and global policy by focussing attention on the benefits of promoting the dignity of people living in poverty. A central component is a 'Shame-Proofing Toolkit', a web-based resource specifically designed with differentiated materials to alert policy makers, practitioners and the public to the psychological and social impacts of poverty.The ESRC/DFID research indicates that people in poverty often experience shame as a consequence of being unable to afford fully to participate in society and because they feel shamed by political and media discourse, and in their dealings with public agencies. Poverty related shame limits individual agency and ultimately helps to perpetuate poverty; therefore there is an economic imperative to consider its implications. Anti-poverty policies from social security floors to micro finance initiatives need to be 'shame-proofed' to ensure that they promote rather than undermine human dignity and agency. Equally, mechanisms are required through which we can sensitise public opinion to a) how negativity towards people in poverty (the shaming) is culturally and socially constructed and b) how everyone has a role to play in challenging it. The Toolkit comprises: 1) Core materials, including key principles for policy and practice, best practice guidelines, illustrative case studies and curriculum materials. These will be drawn from the ESRC/DFID research but shaped for dissemination outputs via a series of workshops held with people living in poverty in six countries. The workshops will be conducted in collaboration with ATD4th World as part of wider conversations on poverty in advance of the World Summit in 2013 on global development. 2) Supplementary popular media resources devised in collaboration with other key partners including: a) With Mediae (Education for Development NGO) story lines incorporated into the soap opera - Makutano Junction (screened to millions of viewers in East Africa and used as an educational resource across schools in the UK) b) With the Media Trust (NGO) the production of a series of short films about the experiences of poverty-related shame in five of the ESRC/DFID research countries (the UK, Norway, Uganda, South Korea and India) c) With Pegasus Youth Theatre (NGO), the design and production of a theatre in education programme based on the book 'The Heap' (about children's experiences of poverty and shame). The project will also produce curriculum materials for English/Drama in UK schools. The final play will be toured in the UK and internationally and recorded and digitalised for wider dissemination including via the project website. As well as being directly broadcast, these media will form part of the 'Shame-Proofing Toolkit', launched via an interactive website purpose-built by another partner, Soft Innovators (SI). The website will offer a platform for global discussions on poverty and provide links to an extensive range of related initiatives and resources. It will be moderated and its use monitored as a part of the process of measuring impact of the dissemination and utilisation project as a whole. The research findings will also be used directly to influence national and global anti-poverty policy (a process which has already begun via a series of workshops presenting findings to international policy forums such as the World Bank and the ILO, and national government and NGO policy forums in the UK, India, China, Norway and Uganda)
