The aim of CW2GC is to understand how and to what extent capacity building for global citizenship occurs when young people living in conditions of austerity and violent townships engage in Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) through waterway rehabilitation projects in their communities and schools; and what this means for global efforts to tackle deprivation and conflict in poverty stricken communities and regions. The study arises from an on-going AHRC impact project that indicates the potential of such work for developing global citizenship amongst young people. It will comprise a cross-cultural, multiple case, ethnographic study investigating 6 projects in the United Kingdom (UK) and South Africa (SA) across 30 months. In a political and economic climate of instability, scarce resources, and global movements of people, this timely research will inform urgent international conversations about citizenship, particularly those relating global citizenship education (GCE) to ESD. Sustainable use of water resources is fundamental to human survival and a focus of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Hydro-sociology is an emerging discourse within the science of water systems that pays attention to the urgent need to understand them as coupled to human systems. Studies show that pressures on and behaviour of water systems in the Anthropocene are linked to human activity. Research identifies a global water crisis resulting in 80% of the world's population predicted to suffer water stress by 2050. Worldwide, communities are responding to these threats and the associated problems caused by rapid economic development (e.g. industrial effluent, plastic pollution) through community-based approaches to waterway rehabilitation. We propose to make these our focus, aiming to study how and to what extent ESD through community engagement with waterway rehabilitation contributes to young people's civic learning and multi-level political agency. Primary objectives:1. To explore how ESD in waterway rehabilitation projects contributes to young people's developing attributes for global citizenship, using the cross-cultural comparison between the UK and SA to elucidate how this occurs.2. To develop detailed, rich descriptions of the projects (including as infographic case portraits) to illustrate some strategies community-based waterway rehabilitation projects employ to achieve their ends of improving waterway health in diverse cultural contexts. Our research will comprise 3 phases. Phase 1 develops a detailed demographic description of project localities, drawing on existing census data sets and creating new data through door to door surveys using an innovative paired researcher technique. Phase 2 includes observations of project activities and walk-and-talk interviews with project members. Phase 3 analyses the data thematically, drawing on literature and field experience to achieve our objectives. We will co-author academic articles and produce innovative online infographic case portraits to share the research outcomes. The research cycle will culminate in an international conference with practitioner walk-shops and knowledge exchange sessions. The research team will comprise the applicant as principal investigator (PI), a research assistant (RA) with hydropolitical expertise and a mentor from within the PI's chosen institution (Faculty of Education, University of Cambridge), and community-based paired researchers. CW2GC will provide the PI with crucial capacity building opportunities including developing knowledge and innovative community research methods, and learning knowledge mobilisation strategies. The experience of leading a project, including managing data and ethical procedures will be a foundation for the PI to build a career studying vital issues with global significance. The ambitious and targeted plans for scholarly outputs and the mentor co-authoring of papers will be career-defining for both PI and RA

CW2GC的目的是了解当生活在贫困和暴力城镇的年轻人通过其社区和学校的水道修复项目参与可持续发展教育(ESD)时，全球公民身份的能力建设如何以及在多大程度上发生；这对解决贫困社区和地区的贫困和冲突的全球努力意味着什么。这项研究源于AHRC正在进行的一个影响项目，该项目表明了这种工作在年轻人中培养全球公民身份的潜力。它将包括一项跨文化、多案例、人种学研究，在30个月内调查英国(UK)和南非(SA)的6个项目。在政治和经济不稳定、资源稀缺和全球人口流动的环境下，这项及时的研究将为有关公民身份的紧急国际对话提供信息，特别是那些与可持续发展教育有关的全球公民教育(GCE)。水资源的可持续利用是人类生存的根本，也是2030年可持续发展议程的重点。水社会学是水系统科学中的一种新兴话语，它关注将水系统与人类系统结合起来理解它们的迫切需要。研究表明，人类世水系统的压力和行为与人类活动有关。研究发现，到2050年，全球水危机将导致80%的世界人口遭受水压力。在世界范围内，社区正在通过以社区为基础的水道修复办法来应对这些威胁和经济快速发展造成的相关问题(如工业废水、塑料污染)。我们建议将这些作为我们的重点，旨在研究可持续发展教育通过社区参与航道修复如何以及在多大程度上有助于年轻人的公民学习和多层次的政治机构。主要目标：1.探索航道修复项目中的可持续发展教育如何有助于年轻人发展成为全球公民的属性，并通过英国和南非之间的跨文化比较来阐明这是如何发生的。对项目进行详细、丰富的描述(包括作为信息图案例描述)，以说明基于社区的航道修复项目在不同文化背景下实现改善航道健康的目的所采用的一些策略。我们的研究将包括三个阶段。第一阶段利用现有的人口普查数据集，利用创新的配对研究人员技术，通过挨家挨户的调查创建新的数据，对项目所在地进行详细的人口统计描述。第二阶段包括对项目活动的观察和与项目成员的面谈。阶段3利用文献和实地经验对数据进行主题分析，以实现我们的目标。我们将共同撰写学术文章，并制作创新的在线信息图表案例画像，以分享研究成果。研究周期将在一次国际会议上达到高潮，届时将举行实践者步行街和知识交流会。研究团队将包括申请者作为首席研究员(PI)、具有水政治专业知识的研究助理(RA)和PI所选机构(剑桥大学教育学院)的导师，以及基于社区的配对研究人员。CW2GC将为PI提供重要的能力建设机会，包括开发知识和创新的社区研究方法，以及学习知识动员策略。领导一个项目的经验，包括管理数据和道德程序，将是PI建立职业生涯的基础，研究具有全球意义的重要问题。对于PI和RA来说，雄心勃勃和有针对性的学术成果计划以及导师共同撰写论文将是决定职业生涯的关键
