Developing Educational Resources to Roll Out the Change-Makers Youth Leadership Programme Across Africa

本项目旨在实现以往AHRC奖项的新影响，并将这些影响扩展到新的受众群体：“从受害者到加害者？”“德国战时苦难的话语”（2005-08年度重大研究基金）；2. “与过去妥协的德国经验”（后续资助，2014- 2015）；3. “动员多向记忆，在南非建立更有弹性的社区”（后续资金，2017-18）；4. “在五个冲突后国家建设包容性公民社会”（Network+, 2017-21）。最初的研究（“受害者”）分析了德国关于暴行和受害者身份的辩论，确定了将该国对大屠杀历史责任的不断变化的理解与新兴的关于记忆、创伤和人权的全球话语联系起来的叙事策略。这项研究的结果随后被纳入与约翰内斯堡大屠杀和种族灭绝中心（JHGC）合作的巡回展览，作为将当地冲突历史与人权教育联系起来的资源（“展览”）。这次展览在南非、英国、美国和爱尔兰的博物馆、画廊、大教堂、大学和学校巡回展出，吸引了大约3万人。接下来，“动员多向记忆”和“建立包容性公民社会”与JHGC合作推出了一个“变革者”项目，利用历史案例研究为南非年轻人培养领导技能，并培养他们对人权的理解。与比勒陀利亚大学的同事一起对试验性变革者方案进行了评价。这个新项目旨在实施该评价的建议，因为JHGC继续在南非以外的其他冲突后非洲国家（与罗莎·卢森堡基金会）推出变革者方案。首先，有必要建立一个更大的历史创伤案例研究库（超越大屠杀和种族隔离），这些案例研究可以在非洲引起共鸣。第二，有必要将非洲变革者项目的引导者（培训师）与世界各地的同事联系起来，使他们了解人权教育的全球背景，并将非洲的案例研究——以及非洲的学习——纳入关于利用历史建设更具复原力的社会的全球辩论中。为了实现这一目标，该项目涉及两个新的合作伙伴：历史正义与和解研究所（IHJR，荷兰）和萨尔茨堡全球研讨会（SGS，奥地利）。项目PI （Taberner）和一名影响官员将与IHJR合作，从他们对来自非洲、亚洲、澳大利亚、欧洲和美洲的200多个“有争议的历史”遗址的研究数据库中开发案例研究，特别关注来自非洲各地的例子（如卢旺达、纳米比亚、尼日利亚等）。这些新的案例研究将被开发成在线的、可下载的材料，用于“培训培训师”讲习班，与JHGC参与现有变革者计划和在整个非洲推广的经验丰富的培训师密切合作。最后，我们将利用萨尔茨堡全球研讨会的号召力在非洲组织一次活动，将从变革者的推出到IHJR的案例研究作者的非洲合作伙伴联系起来。这次讲习班将加深全球对非洲各地正在开展的工作的理解，并使非洲伙伴更好地融入全球人权教育话语。项目成果将包括：1。一套在线材料，可用于在非洲各地推行的变革者项目的“培训培训师”讲习班；2. 非洲人权教育能力建设；3. 在全球人权教育界学习非洲范例的过程中开展能力建设；4. 为JHGC的教育工作者和影响官提供培训和职业发展。

This project aims to realize new impacts of previous AHRC awards, and to extend these impacts to new audiences: 1. 'From Victims to Perpetrators? Discourses of German Wartime Suffering' (Major Research Grant, 2005-08); 2. 'The German Experience of Coming-to-Terms with the Past' (Follow-on funding, 2014-15); 3. 'Mobilising Multidirectional Memory to Build More Resilient Communities in South Africa' (Follow-on funding, 2017-18); 4. 'Building Inclusive Civil Societies in 5 Post-Conflict countries' (Network+, 2017-21). The original research ('Victims') analysed debates on perpetration and victimhood in Germany, identifying narrative strategies that link the country's changing understanding of its historical responsibility for the Holocaust to emerging global discourses on memory, trauma and human rights. The findings of this research were subsequently integrated into a travelling exhibition, in partnership with the Johannesburg Holocaust and Genocide Centre (JHGC), as a resource for linking local histories of conflict to human rights education ('Exhibition'). The exhibition toured South Africa, the UK, the USA, and Ireland, to museums, galleries, cathedrals, universities, and schools, and engaged some 30 000 people. Next, 'Mobilising Multidirectional Memory' and 'Building Inclusive Civil Societies' worked with the JHGC to launch a Change-Makers programme, using historical case studies to build leadership skills for young people in South Africa and to develop their understanding of human rights. An evaluation of the pilot Change-Makers programme was undertaken, with colleagues at the University of Pretoria.This new project aims to implement the recommendations of that evaluation as the JHGC continues to roll out the Change-Makers programme beyond South Africa to other post-conflict African countries (with the Rosa Luxemburg Foundation). First, there is a need to build a larger bank of case studies of historical trauma (beyond the Holocaust and apartheid) that can resonate around Africa. Second, there is a need to connect facilitators (trainers) working on Change-Makers in Africa to colleagues around the world, to both build their understanding of the global contexts of human rights education and to integrate African case studies-and African learning-into the global debate on using the historical past to build more resilient societies. To achieve this ambition, the project involves two new partners: The Institute for Historical Justice and Reconciliation (IHJR, Netherlands) and the Salzburg Global Seminar (SGS, Austria). The project PI (Taberner) and an Impact Officer will work with the IHJR to develop case studies from their database of studies of more than two hundred sites of 'contested histories' from Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe and the Americas, with special attention given to examples from around Africa (e.g. Rwanda, Namibia, Nigeria, etc.). These new case studies will be developed into online, downloadable materials for 'train the trainer' workshops, in close collaboration with experienced trainers at the JHGC engaged on the existing Change-Makers programme and in the roll-out across Africa. Finally, we will use the convening power of the Salzburg Global Seminar to organise an event in Africa to connect African partners from the roll-out of Change-Makers to the IHJR's case-studies authors. This workshop will deepen global understandings of the work being done across Africa and also better integrate African partners into the global human rights education discourse. The outcomes of the project will include: 1. A suite of online materials that can be used in 'train the trainer' workshops for the Change-Makers programme as it rolls out across Africa; 2. Capacity building in Africa on human rights education; 3. Capacity building amongst the global human rights education community as they learn from African examples; 4. Training and career-development for educators at the JHGC and for the Impact Officer.
