GCRF Development Award: Mobile Arts for Peace (MAP)

MAP网络+发展奖将使我们能够加强多语言国家之间的合作和公平伙伴关系，包括吉尔吉斯斯坦（吉尔吉斯语、俄语、乌兹别克语）、卢旺达（卢旺达语、英语、法语、斯瓦希里语）、印度尼西亚（印尼语）和尼泊尔（尼泊尔语）。尽管所有共同研究者都使用英语和母语进行交流和写作，MAP网络+项目将致力于为PI/共同研究者、项目合作伙伴以及利益相关者和受益人探索各种翻译实践，以使他们能够使用最舒适、最容易理解的语言进行交流。这一过程将在三个主要活动中进行试验，包括开发网站、网络研讨会和范围考察。Text United软件将嵌入Microsoft Office和Sharepoint网站，与MAP网站一起，该网站将通过发展奖的资金开发。该软件将能够翻译通过添加到网站的文件以及所有指定语言的电子邮件通信。在网络研讨会和范围考察期间，将通过使用同声传译服务和使用基于艺术的方法作为交流和翻译工具来探索翻译。这些活动将有助于纲要提案中通过审议人权事务委员会纲要反馈而规定的总体MAP网络+项目的宗旨、目标和研究议程。特别是要处理以下几点：a)解释所选择的四个国家背景背后的理由；B)发展文献综述，确保强大的学术产出和非学术产出；c)进一步讨论“网络+”如何处理不同的语言；(D)考虑如果建议的国家课程改革在实践中未能实现，在获得政府准入和影响国家当局能力方面的潜在风险；E)进一步制定影响的目标和途径，以提供变革的替代途径；f)扩展项目负责人和项目团队在管理大型项目方面的经验，以及RO(s)提供的支持网络。MAP Plus网络将通过以下活动来解决这些问题：a)比较方法：之所以选择这四个国家，是因为它们不同程度地参与了以前与MAP相关的培训，并使用了基于艺术的研究方法。特别是，这四个国家将集中注意地方、区域和国家/国际各级影响的各个方面。发展奖将使一些成功和挑战得以确定，并使国内合作伙伴能够建立一个强有力的南南和南北指导结构，并建立拟议的影响途径。b)能力建设：网络研讨会和研讨会将与强大的学术和非学术合作伙伴共同开展文献综述，并探索可能的联合产出；与此同时，还将在所有伙伴国家制定赠款和出版物支持战略。c)翻译：将试用Text United软件，以提供所有语言的通信。这项规定已列为高度优先事项；特别是要接触到最边缘化的社区。采用了以艺术为基础的方法，提供了另一种交流形式，使年轻人和决策者参与进来。d)利益攸关方：咨询委员会将由主要利益攸关方组成，以审议从政府获取信息以及影响国家当局的能力方面的潜在风险。通过这种方式，提出了不同的势力范围。e)管理：各主任办事处将与奖前及奖后小组举行会议，以建立支援网络，并确保项目在各级及各院校有凝聚力地进行管理。

The MAP Network Plus Development Award will enable us to strengthen collaborative and equitable partnerships across multi-linguistic countries including Kyrgyzstan (Kyrgyz, Russian, Uzbek), Rwanda (Kinyarwanda, English, French, Swahili), Indonesia (Bahasa Indonesia), and Nepal (Nepali). Although all Co-Investigators speak and write in English alongside their mother tongue, the MAP Network Plus project will aim to explore varied translation practices for PI/Co-Is and project partners alongside stakeholders and beneficiaries to communicate in the language most comfortable and accessible for them. This process will be trialled across three main activities including the development of a website, webinar, and scoping visit. Text United software will be embedded within Microsoft Office and Sharepoint sites alongside the MAP website that will be developed through the Development Award funding. The software will enable the translation of communications via documents added to the website alongside email communications across all of the specified languages. During the webinar and scoping visit, translation will be explored through the use of simultaneous translation services and the use of arts-based methods as a communication and translation tool. These activities will contribute to the aims, objectives and research agenda for the overarching MAP Network Plus project specified in the outline proposal through the consideration of AHRC Panel outline feedback. In particular, to address the following points: a) to explain the rationale behind the four country contexts that have been chosen; b) to develop the literature review and secure strong academic outputs as well as non-academic outputs; c) to discuss further how the Network Plus will address different languages; d) to consider the potential risks around securing access from governments and of capacity to influence national authorities if the suggested change to national curricula does not materialise in practice; e) to further develop objectives and pathways to impact to give alternative routes to change; and f) to expand on the experience of the PI and Project Team in regards to managing large projects and the support network that will be available from the RO(s).MAP Network Plus will address these points through the noted activities as follows:a) Comparative Approach: The four country contexts have been chosen due to their varied engagement with former MAP-related training and use of arts-based research methods. In particular, the four countries will focus on varied aspects of impact from a local, regional and national/international level. The Development Award will enable some of the successes and challenges to be identified and for the in-country partners to establish a strong structure for South-South and North-South mentoring and to establish proposed pathways to impact.b) Capacity Building: The webinar and symposium will engage strong academic and non-academic partners to develop the literature review and to explore possible co-produced outputs; alongside the development of a grant and publication support strategy to be developed across all partnering countries. c) Translation: The Text United software will be trialed to provide communication across all languages. This provision has been set as a high priority; especially to reach the most marginalised communities. Arts-based approaches have been adopted to provide another form of communication to engage young people and policy makers.d) Stakeholders: The Advisory Board will consist of key stakeholders to consider the potential risks around securing access from governments and of capacity to influence national authorities. In this way, proposing varied spheres of influence. e) Management: Meetings will be conducted across the RO(s) with the pre and post award teams to establish a support network and to ensure cohesive management of the project at all levels and across institutions.
