Local Heritage and Sustainability: promote reflection and sharing within and across communities

该研究网络旨在五所大学(伯恩茅斯大学、莱斯特大学、里约热内卢联邦大学、马来西亚沙捞越大学和卢里奥大学)、一个部级办公室(Autoridade Reguladora das Comunicaçóes de Moçmo)和三个LMIC国家(莫桑比克、马来西亚和巴西)和英国的九个地方组织之间建立稳固、持久和相互关联的伙伴关系。该网络将探讨农村和城市社区如何通过使用创造性和数字化工具来加强其复原力、促进其可持续性并保护其当地遗产。该网络将重点关注三个标志性背景：马来西亚的一个农村社区(Bario)、莫桑比克的一个历史城镇(Ilha de Moçmica)和巴西的三个棚户区(里约热内卢)。这是三个非常不同的环境，但它们都受到全球移民和旅游业流动及其相关挑战和机遇的影响。该网络围绕地方遗产，无论是自然、文化还是历史遗产，作为共同关注的焦点，以及社区如何利用数字媒体的创造性和讲故事的潜力来反映和分享过去、现在和未来的可持续做法。面对日益增加的全球流动性、移民和旅游流动的挑战，网络中的社区，特别是妇女和女童，将受益于对遗产价值的共同思考和利用遗产促进可持续发展的实际支持。根据当代全球流动，通过与社区在三个领域(可持续性、地方遗产和特性)进行合作，该项目旨在实现以下目标：1.促进对遗产和可持续性的思考，以便共同制定战略，塑造社区的未来；2.利用数字媒体，特别是用于提高当地和全球受众对遗产与可持续性之间复杂相互作用的认识的互动绘图工具；3.在每个案例研究中找出这一进程的相似之处和特点，以促进受到类似挑战和机会影响的社区之间的全球南对话。网络将为当地社区广告发展从业人员制作下列产出：1.关于每项活动的进程和内容的多媒体档案，将放在项目网站上。三个经过策划的数字故事，以交互式定位地图的形式开发，可通过手机3访问“故事空间”。同一故事的三个网络版本将托管在项目网站上，并使用故事地图工具进行开发。4.为从业人员提供一个方法论工具包，探讨如何利用数字和创新技术解开可持续性、地方遗产和特性的包袱，并促进农村和城市弱势社区的思考。一份实践者报告，记录三个案例社区的异同、挑战和成功的战略。在为期12个月的活动中，该网络将组织三个活动：-在巴西里约热内卢举行的网络活动#1(第三个月)。组织者：卡米拉·莫赖斯博士，UNIRIO。-在马来西亚巴里奥举行的第二次网络活动(6个月)。组织者：Narayanan Kulathuramaiyer教授，UniMas--莫桑比克伊尔哈第三次网络活动(9个月)。组织者：米尔顿·诺维拉，联合国国际劳工组织。此外，还将在所涉的LMIC举办三次全国传播活动，网络成果将展示给受到相同机会和挑战影响的当地利益攸关方和社区，并将在英国组织一次传播活动。英国的活动将与LMIC的学术合作伙伴建立虚拟联系，并在可能的情况下，与当地组织和相关社区建立联系。

This research network has been designed to create a solid, long lasting and mutually relevant partnership among five universities (Bournemouth University, University of Leicester, Universidad Federal de Rio de Janeiro, University of Malaysia Sarawak, and Universidade Lurio), one ministry office (Autoridade Reguladora das Comunicações de Moçambique) and nine local organisations in three LMIC countries (Mozambique, Malaysia and Brazil) and in the United Kingdom. This network will explore how rural and urban communities can strengthen their resilience, promote their sustainability, and protect their local heritage through the use of creative and digital tools. The network will be focusing on three emblematic contexts: a rural community (Bario) in Malaysia, an historical town (Ilha de Moçambique) in Mozambique, and three shantytowns (Rio de Janeiro) in Brazil. These are three very diverse settings, but they are all affected by global flows of migration and tourism, and their related challenges and opportunities. This network is scaffolded around local heritage, be it natural, cultural, or historical, as a focal point of shared concern, and how communities can leverage the creative and storytelling potential of digital media to reflect and share on past, present and future sustainable practices. Faced with increasing global mobilities, the challenges of migration and tourism flows, the communities in the network, and specifically women and girls, will benefit from shared reflection on the value of heritage and from practical support in the usage of heritage for sustainable development.By working with the communities on three areas (sustainability, local heritage and identities) in the light of contemporary global flows, the project has been designed to tackle the following objectives: 1. to promote the reflection on heritage and sustainability, in order to co-create strategies to shape the communities' future;2. to employ digital media, in particular interactive mapping tools to be used to raise awareness among local as well as global audiences on the complex interplay between heritage and sustainability;3. to identify similarities and peculiarities of this process in each case study, in order to promote a Global South dialogue among communities affected by similar challenges and opportunities.The network will produce the following outputs, for the local communities ad development practitioners:1. A multimedia archive on the process and content of each event, to be hosted on the project website2. Three curated digital stories in the form of interactive locative maps developed with "Storyplaces" to be accessed via mobile3. Three web versions of the same stories to be hosted on the project website and developed with a storymapping tool. 4. A methodological toolkit for practitioners to explore how digital and creative technologies can be used to unpack sustainability, local heritage and identities and promote reflection among rural and urban disadvantaged communities.5. A practitioner report to document similarities and differences, challenges and successful strategies of the three case communities.In its 12 months of activities the network will organise three events:- Networking Event #1 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (MONTH 3). Organiser: Dr. Camila Moraes, UNIRIO.- Networking Event #2 in Bario, Malaysia (MONTH 6). Organiser: Prof. Narayanan Kulathuramaiyer, UNIMAS.- Networking Event #3 in Ilha de Moçambique, Mozambique (MONTH 9). Organiser: Milton Novela, UNILURIO.Furthermore, three national dissemination events in the involved LMIC, in which the network outputs will be presented to local stakeholders and communities affected by the same opportunities and challenges and a dissemination event in the UK will be organised. The UK event will be coupled with a virtual connection with the academic partnership in LMIC and, where possible, local organisations a involved communities.
