The Arts of Inclusion (TAI): Examining the Role of Performing Arts for Peace Education in Conflict. A UK-Latin American Countries Network.

这个由学者（教育和表演艺术）和和平教育倡导者组成的跨学科网络将从墨西哥、哥伦比亚和巴西开始，批判性地探讨表演艺术在发展受暴力冲突影响的个人的和平教育和福利方面所作的贡献。除了该网络将为这三个国家的参与者以及最终为他们周边国家带来的好处之外（洪都拉斯、萨尔瓦多、尼加拉瓜、玻利维亚），网络活动将通过帮助发展基于研究的实践，使与受冲突影响的个人以及当地社区合作的从业者和非政府组织受益。社会艺术项目的例子比比皆是，但冲突环境中的开发者似乎没有比较和系统地研究个人如何以及在何种条件下从参与中受益。该网络将开始填补这一空白。该提案是通过哥伦比亚、墨西哥、巴西和英国的学术和非学术同事之间的合作提出的，并得到了ESRC影响加速奖的帮助，该奖项探讨了参与者的研究需求。该网络最初的理论框架是基于PI以前的国际研究，该研究调查了冲突后北方爱尔兰使用预成形艺术进行包容的情况。然而，该网络将使参与者能够确定进一步合作、研究和能力建设的关键领域，以满足本国受冲突影响的个人的需求。在24个月的时间范围内，活动的三个重叠阶段侧重于建立关系（通过合作者之间的联系）;加强能力（通过批判性地共同评价和分享最佳做法和政策），国际发展和外联（通过与其他官方发展援助国家的潜在合作伙伴建立联系）。在波哥大、奇瓦瓦州和格拉斯哥举办的一系列为期两天的讲习班期间，将加强学术合作者，参加者将分享最佳做法、理论和方法，以支持围绕使用表演艺术开展的和平教育活动。在这些讲习班期间建立的联系将通过专门的博客和推特等广泛使用的社会媒体进一步保持下去。该网络将通过分享在整个项目期间开发的一套多媒体资源来扩大其外联范围。这些资源将包括利用表演艺术促进和平教育的做法记录、讲习班期间进行的讨论和主要介绍沿着现场做法的图像、一次政策简报（通过比较文献的范围）和一次实践简报（通过在三个国家进行的为期9个月的批判性人种志，将成为一本编辑的书）。这些资源将与其他官方发展援助国家的潜在伙伴分享，这些伙伴是通过网络参与者、学术伙伴和咨询委员会成员确定的，他们已经在这些国家建立了联系。为解决资源获取问题，将以多种形式提供材料：通过YouTube提供视频录像（主要研讨会视频将有英文和西班牙文字幕）、新闻稿、博客文章、通过我们合作者的高知名度网页以及通过我们自己的网站提供。我们将广播在网络活动期间开发的一些KE活动，还将开发简短的工具包（如“如何”迷你教程和“五大策略”），以便在上述社交媒体网站上获得高流通度和知名度。一家专业的媒体公司将被委托为英国广播公司准备一部网络集锦短片，作为黄金时段纪录片的一个想法。

This interdisciplinary network of academics (education and performing arts) and peace education advocates will critically explore the contribution made by the performing arts in developing peace education with - and the welfare of - individuals affected by violent conflict, beginning with Mexico, Colombia and Brazil. Beyond the benefits that the network will have for participants from these three countries and eventually the countries surrounding them (Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Bolivia), the network activities will benefit practitioners and NGOs working with conflict-affected individuals as well as local communities by helping to develop research-informed practices.Examples of social arts programmes abound, but developers in conflict settings do not appear to comparatively and systematically study how and under which conditions individuals benefit from participation. This network will begin to address this gap. The proposal emerged through a collaboration between academic and non-academic colleagues in Colombia, Mexico, Brazil and the UK facilitated with an ESRC Impact Acceleration award that explored the participants' research needs. The network's initial theoretical framework is based on previous international research by the PI that investigated the uses of preforming arts for inclusion in post-conflict Northern Ireland. Nevertheless, the network will allow participants to identify key areas for further collaboration, research and capacity building to address the needs of individuals affected by conflict in their own countries. The three overlapping phases of activity during the 24-months time-frame focus on relationship building (through links among collaborators); capacity strengthening (through critically co-evaluating and sharing best practices and policies), and international development and outreach (through KE links with potential partners in other ODA countries).The connections between academic and non-academic collaborators will be strengthened over the course of a series of 2-day workshops in Bogota, Chihuahua and Glasgow, where participants will share best practices, theories, and methodologies to support peace education activities built around the use of performing arts. The links created during these workshops will be further sustained through wide-access social media such as a dedicated Blog and Twitter. The network will expand its outreach through sharing a suite of multimedia resources developed throughout the project. These resources will include recorded practices of using performing arts for peace education, discussions and key presentations conducted during the workshops along with images of practices in situ, one policy briefing (from comparatively scoping the literature) and one practice briefing (from 9-month critical ethnographies conducted in the three countries, which will become an edited book). These resources will be shared with potential partners in other ODA countries identified through network participants, academic partners and advisory board members who already have links in these countries. To address the issue of access to resources, the materials will be available in a number of formats: video recordings via YouTube (key workshop videos will have subtitles in English and Spanish), press releases, blog posts, and through the high-visibility webpages of our collaborators, as well as through our own website. We will broadcast some of the KE activities developed during the network events and will also develop short toolkits (such as "How to" mini-tutorials and "Top 5 Strategies") for high circulation and visibility across the social media sites mentioned above. A professional media company will be commissioned to prepare a short film of network highlights for BBC pitch as an idea for a primetime documentary.
