Building Resilience Wellbeing and Cohesion in Displaced Societies Using Digital Heritage

该项目的总体目标是：(I)与约旦阿兹拉克及其周边地区的难民(主要是叙利亚人)和混合社区接触，使他们能够讨论和利用我们AHRC资助的项目所开发的数字遗产技术和能力，以促进他们自己的福祉，包括建立相互信任和社区凝聚力，以及(Ii)学习经验，以便更广泛地利用数字遗产资源，造福于其他地区的难民、流离失所者和受冲突影响的社区。该项目借鉴了AHRC资助的扩大约旦遗产(AJH)和支离破碎的遗产(好奇心旅行者元素)项目的成功，以及AHRC资助的持续债券项目的一些方面。后续资金惠及新的受众，即约旦阿兹拉克地区的难民和社区，并进一步侧重于遗产在建设和平中的作用，从而体现了考古学、数字遗产、和平研究和国际发展之间的一种新的跨学科合作，与约旦的当地合作伙伴合作。该项目旨在以创新和创造性的方式将遗产作为另一个关键工具，以增强地方感，探索数字遗产在流离失所和受冲突影响的社区的身份、社区发展和福祉方面的作用和价值。该项目结合了和平研究和国际发展以及考古和遗产领域最近建立的几个知识和实践机构，COI OG和PI、COI AW和COI KC从这些领域获得了丰富的经验。当地社区的参与将从一开始就融入该项目，我们的约旦合作者将一如既往地参与该项目的所有阶段。该项目组成员在约旦和中东其他地区的冲突和对冲突敏感的分析和社区建设进程(COI OG)以及考古和遗产研究方面拥有丰富的经验，包括一些实地经验(PI；COI KC)。我们的当地合作伙伴是约旦遗产和Wafr Al Waqt，这两个当地非政府组织都有活动记录，并与当地和难民社区就各种物质和非物质遗产问题进行接触。这些当地合作伙伴充分促进了这项提案的制定；项目将加强他们在项目结束后开展后续活动的能力。计划举办5次面对面的项目活动(约旦4次，英国1次)，以准备项目，建设当地模式的能力，并监测、审查和评估项目进展和进程。将举办一系列三期社区讲习班，促进阿兹拉克及其周围社区参与各种文化遗产的相关性和价值的进程，并指导和利用已经或将为该项目创建的数字遗产资产。项目团队还将至少每月(通过Skype)会面一次，并在需要时更定期地会面。成果包括根据社区的优先事项和需求创建和使用定制的数字资产；建立和促进对冲突有敏感认识的社区对话和建设进程；能力建设；根据我们将通过该项目发展的经验教训和方法以及针对普通受众的文章(英文和阿拉伯文)，评价、编写和分发有针对性的白皮书，供非政府组织、政府和国际社会使用。它们进一步涉及已确定的战略发展目标和已制定的联合国区域应对计划(联合国，2014年)，以及在可持续发展中利用遗产的拟议政策(教科文组织，2015年)，其中每一项都与2030年可持续发展议程(联合国，2015年)直接挂钩。

This project's overall objectives are: (i) to engage with the refugee (primarily Syrian) and mixed communities in and around Azraq in Jordan to enable them to discuss and use the digital heritage technologies and capacities developed in our AHRC-funded projects for their own well-being, including building mutual confidence and community cohesion, and (ii) to learn from the experience to develop approaches and good practices for wider uses of digital heritage resources to the benefit of refugee, displaced and conflict-affected communities in other regions. The project builds on the successes of the AHRC-funded Augmenting Jordanian Heritage (AJH) and Fragmented Heritage (Curious Travellers element) Projects, as well as drawing on aspects of the AHRC-funded Continuing Bonds Project. The follow-on funding reaches new audiences, namely refugee and communities in the Azraq region of Jordan, with an additional focus on the role of heritage in peacebuilding, thus representing a new interdisciplinary collaboration between archaeology, digital heritage, peace studies and international development, working with local partners in Jordan. The project aims to use heritage as a further key tool in an innovative and creative way, to enhance a sense of place, explore the role and value of digital heritage in identity, community development and wellbeing in contexts of displaced and conflict-affected communities.,The project combines several recently established bodies of knowledge and practice from the areas of peace studies & international development, and archaeology & heritage, from which the CoI OG and PI, CoI AW and CoI KC have strong experience. Local community involvement will be embedded in the project from the outset, with our Jordanian collaborators involved in all stages of the project as they have been from inception. Members of this project team have substantial experience of conflict and conflict sensitive analyses and community building processes (CoI OG) and archaeological and heritage research in Jordan and elsewhere in the Middle East, including some field experience (PI; CoI KC). Our local partners are Jordan Heritage and Wafr Al Waqt, both local NGOs with track record of activities and engagement with local and refugee communities on issues of diverse tangible and intangible heritages. These local partners have fully contributed to, the development of this proposal; and the project will enhance their capacity for follow-on activities after the project ends.Five face-to-face project events are planned (4 in Jordan, 1 in the UK), to prepare the project, build capacity of local patterns, and to monitor, review and evaluate the project progress and process. A series of three community workshops will be established and facilitate processes of community engagement in and around Azraq on the relevance and values of diverse cultural heritages, and to guide and use digital heritage assets that are either already generated or will be created for this project. The project team will also meet at least monthly (via Skype), and more regularly when needed. The outputs include creation and use of the digital assets customized to community priorities and needs; establishment and conflict-sensitive facilitation of community dialogue and building processes; capacity-building; and evaluation and development and dissemination of targeted whitepapers for NGO, government and international use, based on the lessons learned and methodology we will develop through the project, and articles aimed at lay audiences (in English and Arabic).The project aims directly and primarily address UK Aid / ODA priorities. They further address identified strategic development goals and established United Nations regional response plans (United Nations, 2014) and to proposed policies for the use of heritage in sustainable development (UNESCO, 2015) each of which link directly to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (United Nations, 2015).
