Mobile Arts for Peace (MAP): Informing the National Curriculum and Youth Policy for Peacebuilding in Kyrgyzstan, Rwanda, Indonesia and Nepal

Lead Research Organisation: University of Lincoln
Department Name: School of Fine and Performing Arts

Abstract

MAP aims to provide a comparative approach on the use of interdisciplinary arts-based practices for peacebuilding in Kyrgyzstan, Rwanda, Indonesia and Nepal. MAP has the overall goals of first, influencing curricula and approaches to working with in- and out-of-school youth and second, creating structures and modes of communication between youth and policymakers from the local to global. Each country has different histories and approaches to peacebuilding, yet all four have a rich tradition of using cultural forms for dialogue. The selection of the four countries will enable us to explore how pathways to peace may be shaped by diverse political, cultural, religious and linguistic factors, as well as the crosscutting issues of gender and intersecting inequalities, environments and the exclusion of children and youth from policymaking processes.

MAP will operate across three core components: a) project design and delivery; b) research; and c) arts-based practice that run throughout three strands of activities. Strand One will involve scoping visits, literature reviews, community mapping and training of adult and child/youth facilitators in arts-based methods for dialogue and research. During Strand Two, up to 3 small grants of £5,000 will be awarded in each of the four countries for child/youth and adult MAP trainers to work alongside CSOs to develop projects that address local issues that may incorporate (but are not limited to): child rights-based decision-making; child protection and peacebuilding. Up to 2 grants of £29,500 in each of the four countries for youth to work alongside policy-focused organisations to explore arts-based communication structures. Up to 4 large grants of £100,000 in each of the four countries for researchers of any level and partnering organisations to design and deliver effective monitoring, evaluation and impact delivery alongside the small and mid-size grant awardees. One additional large grant of £100,000 will be awarded in the final two years of the project to synthesize findings, drawing out similarities and divergences across the four countries and to consider questions of scalability and transferability, in order to inform youth policy at an international level. Strand Three will involve the coordination of community-based dialogue groups and MAP Clubs to inform policy and establish communication structures alongside synthesis and dissemination. The project will be working alongside cultural organisations, youth-serving CSOs, conflict and peace building CSOs, government institutions and ministries, higher education institutions, conflict management, and psychosocial wellbeing organisations. In this way, the project promises diverse impact at local, national and international levels.

We will explore the following questions:

1. How can different art forms be used to co-design, deliver and evaluate peacebuilding curricula and other approaches for working with children and youth to address local conflict issues?
2. How might cultural forms be used for dialogue with and between children and youth, educators and policy makers to advance peacebuilding through a local and indigenous approach?
3. How might psychosocial support, including local healing practices, be better integrated within peacebuilding approaches by using the arts to promote the wellbeing of children and youth, especially
those from marginalised groups?
4. How can cultural forms be incorporated into child- and youth-led participatory action research methodologies and adapted for the purposes of the design, undertaking and delivery of interdisciplinary
projects in diverse social, political and cultural contexts?
5. How might these cultural forms be used to create alternative spaces and communication structures for peacebuilding approaches and curricula development to inform local, national and international approaches to peacebuilding.

Planned Impact

This project will provide a series of activities for learning from one another, relationship building and Network Plus project planning (webinar, project team meeting, symposium) alongside the development of an infrastructure mindful of translation challenges to ensure the successful co-production of the project through ongoing communication and dissemination of information (website, meetings with central research team, international advisory board meeting). Translation software and services will enable equitable inputs and outputs from our beneficiaries and ensure wider dissemination of the academic and non-academic research outputs across the project. We aim to include the primary beneficiaries and stakeholders at every stage of the process. Primary beneficiaries include: young people, educators, heads of schools, religious leaders, cultural artists, government officials such as the Minister of Education, Minister of Youth, Minister of Culture; academics and researchers, NGOs, CSOs, cultural organisations and other projects or organisations focused on peacebuilding initiatives serving marginalised young people.

Project activities will enable equitable co-production and provide opportunities to explore the varied routes to influence policy and the national curriculum through arts-based practices of peacebuilding. The network will further enable the design and delivery of evidence-based monitoring and evaluation using an arts-based methodology to engage varied levels of society (local, national, international). Due to these noted activities, the beneficiaries will experience improved partnerships and communication systems for South-South and North-South knowledge exchange. Also, the integration of the beneficiaries and stakeholders across the project will build capacity (ex: young people serving on the international advisory board and engaging youth researchers) and align project needs with project outputs through the co-design of the project.

Some of the direct benefits of facilitating communication include the opportunity to integrate young people in policy-making processes to magnify their own agendas and to establish direct links of engagement and access. The focus on youth policy will be core to each scoping visit, where we will be working alongside UNESCO representatives in Kyrgyzstan, Rwanda, Indonesia and Nepal. Baseline activities (scoping visit, cultural artist workshop, training of trainers, youth camp) will provide an opportunity for educators to expand their access to curricula and teaching and learning approaches across post-conflict contexts. Cultural Artists will benefit from the exploration and analysis of how varied arts-based approaches can be used to create dialogue. CSO and NGO workers will benefit from engaging with a wide network of young people, government officials and policy makers to explore synergies between MAP and the aims and objectives of related peacebuilding projects. UNESCO and policy making bodies will benefit from the trialling of arts-based methods of monitoring and evaluation.

Participatory Action Research will be a core component of the programme. MAP Network Plus will provide the platform to foster capacity building for children and youth, adult educators and cultural artists who will then design, research and evaluate their own projects to prevent conflict, building sustainable and inclusive peace. The research will contribute to new insights about how embodied, local and indigenous knowledges may inform the peaceful transformation of conflict. All beneficiaries will benefit from materials that are created from the MAP activities and the wider MAP network; potentially leading to future funding and research opportunities.

Title Beyond the Hills 
Description Short dramatised film based on true events filmed and produced by Kwetu students and starring MAP student Hyacentha 
Type Of Art Film/Video/Animation 
Year Produced 2023 
Impact Impacts from the films will be evidenced in Autumn . The film will be at the centre of a round table policy event in Autumn 2023 with policy makers, Never Again Rwanda, UNM, Kwetu and representatives from the MAP students, intended to lead to policy impacts that will support greater awareness of, and training about, mental health in schools in Rwanda. For MAP students, the process of creating a film centred on their own experiences, which they will show directly to policy makers as the basis for a discussion on the issues that impact their mental health, will increase their sense of political agency as well as their individual and group capability. Additionally it will empower them to see they have the ability to work collectively to create social transformation.

Title Comic booklet on arts for peacebuilding 
Description The comic booklet serves as a tool to assess young people's knowledge and perception of 5 MAP domains as part of a pre-test (i.e. young people's understanding and knowledge before the MAP training): arts for peacebuilding, arts for dialogue, psychosocial support, policy initiative and child participation in decision-making. The comic booklet has 19 pages and is divided into three comic strips with a total of 24 follow-up questions (multiple choice; true/false, strongly disagree to strongly agree). Research participants (young people) are asked to respond to them after the reading of one strip. The questions were tested with 5 young people (street-connected youth) before the start of the research. The comic booklet was developed in collaboration between MAP's PhD candidate (she is also an Indonesian national) and MAP Indonesia's team members based at the Atma Jaya Catholic University of Indonesia between the 6 March and 7 April 2021. Vina Puspita developed the illustrations while the AJCUI team created the storylines.

Title Deuda video 'Cheli' on human trafficking (Nepal) 
Description Human trafficking for sexual exploitation in Nepal is growing due to extreme poverty (partly resulting from the earthquake in 2015), illiteracy, unemployment, poor law enforcement. Trafficking mainly affects girls and young women who are forced to 'work' in cabin/dance restaurants, massage, parlours and other places within the tourism sector. The members of Janajyoti Child Club from Janajyoti Secondary School (Kanchanpur district) decided to shoot a Deuda video with artists to create awareness among their peers and the community. They also sought to develop an advocacy tool to address the problem with relevant stakeholders. Deuda is an indigenous cultural art form (people are singing and dancing together in a circle) from the far western region in Nepal. Both video and Deuda are powerful tools to reach a broad audience in Nepal. The video shows that poverty, the lack of risks of human trafficking, and trusting strangers are the main reason for human trafficking. A total of 32 artists appeared in the video (22 female, 10 male). On the 25th of February 2022, the child club presented the video to 68 people (38 female, 31 male) at school, including the Dodhara Chandani Vice Mayor Chini Giri, 1 member from Maiti Nepal (female), 1 representative of the local government (female), 1 reporter (male), 4 police officers (1 female, 3 male), 41 students (29 female, 12 male), 12 teachers (2 female, 10 male) and 9 members of the community (4 female, 5 male).

This film focuses on Mental Health in Schools.The filmmakers want to show how teachers can judge young people as being disobedient or disengaged when in fact they have mental health challenges. They ask that teachers try to understand they might have difficult lives, and that their behaviour is a consequence of this. They ask that teachers try to understand this, and be supportive.The film is based on a real story, with the narrative built around a poem they wrote together, using the inner voice of the main character. In the poem the main character is disconnected from her peers, and not engaging in school. The participants wanted to communicate that teachers often dismiss disengaged young people as problematic, and they are punished. The call to action asked for teachers to understand that disengagement might be based on challenges and to consider ways to be supportive and to uncover underlying issues. In the poem, a teacher reaches out and connects with the main character and she starts a journey of recovery.Included with this video is a workshop toolkit to be used when screening the films. This toolkit is designed to help stakeholder organisations run workshops around supporting youth mental health. This toolkit includes session plans, presentations and discussion hand-outs.

Impact For young people, seeing their own stories about mental health represented with dignity on screen can lead to notable therapeutic change, with transformations in self-esteem, self-concept, consciousness, confidence and aspiration. The process of participatory film-making, given an additional and intentionally person-centred psychotherapeutic approach, supports their capacity to become active agents of change in their own lives. This is particularly the case when participants are included in the process of advocacy with policy makers, rather than marginalized from these final stages of the project.

Title Film: Iyi_n'inkuru_yangye (Visualising Peace) 
Description A participatory film made in collaboration with MAP school children in Rwanda and students and staff at the Kwetu film institute. The MAP school children chose to work with three themes on the topic of mental health. Mental Health in schools, Mental health in the family and street connected mental health. This film focuses on Mental Health in street connected children.Participants felt in their experience on the streets they were often dismissed, judged and stigmatised. They want to emphasise that no young person chooses to be on the streets. Each street connected child has an individual story. They ask to be treated with empathy, understanding and compassion. Participants created a powerful story that wove together the real life experiences of the group members. In their experience on the streets, the street connected young people felt that they were often dismissed and stigmatised. They emphasised that no young person chooses to be on the streets, each street connected child has an individual story. The call to action emphasised the need for street connected young people to be treated with empathy and for their rights to be addressed. In the story the child is eventually helped by a community member. Included with this video is a workshop toolkit to be used when screening the films.

Impact Participants expressed excitement and positivity in seeing their story and themselves represented on screen. It underlined a core tenet of the MAP project, that they have a right to speak about their experiences and can use artistic expression as a vehicle to share their stories. Several of the participants spoke to us about their hopes for the future. One male participant, who was previously street connected, confidently expressed a desire to set up a social media channel to share comedic content and sought advice on how to do this. Two female participants wanted to work as actresses and another male participant expressed a desire to become a writer. Arguably the entirety of the MAP process, up to and including the creation of the films, enabled the young people to see themselves in a new light; as active, skilful, and valued and as capable of taking action to achieve their aspirations.

Title Film: Sound On The Hill (Visualising Peace) 
Description A participatory film made in collaboration with MAP school children in Rwanda and students and staff at the Kwetu film institute. The MAP school children chose to work with three themes on the topic of mental health. Mental Health in schools, Mental health in the family and street connected mental health. This film focuses on Mental Health in the family.The participants wanted to show that family conflict causes young people distress, which can lead to anxiety and depression. They say that the people around them have the power to help and support. Their message is 'get involved, be active, reach in and help us, don't wait for us to reach out.'The participants decided that they would follow the personal story of one of the group members. In the film she struggles with an abusive step-mother. The participants were keen to explain that people often do not see the stress that family conflicts cause young people. The girl flees the family home to get some fresh air and respite from the situation. While running she meets a friend who supports her, through this support she realises that she has value as a person and can manage. The young people were keen to emphasise the importance of the supportive friend, and how supporting each other can help. This reflection links to the underpinning methodology of MAP to develop peer-to-peer support structures and to generate art-based tools to enhance dialogue regarding mental health (Breed et al. 2022).Included with this video is a workshop toolkit to be used when screening the films. This toolkit is designed to help stakeholder organisations run workshops around supporting youth mental health. This toolkit includes session plans, presentations and discussion hand-outs.

Impact During the discussion, the participants said that, unfortunately, pupils who are bullied at school try not to tell their parents, relatives and friends about it, because they are afraid that their parents' indignation will lead to even worse relations with their classmates. The school administration, although aware of such cases, does not want to admit the problem for fear of being included in the lists of bad schools. The problem is hidden. Both the children who are being bullied are silent and the teachers are silent, so the problem grows and spreads among the children. The fact that everyone tries to "see and hear nothing" increases the level of crime and the number of teenage suicides. Pupils who feel unpunished use bullying in relation to other pupils and then grow into people who are prepared to use violence against others. During the presentation, expert psychologists spoke about the causes and consequences of this problem. The consequences are for those who are bullied as well as those who bully. Lawyers and law enforcement officials talked about laws and penalties. What to do, where to go if you find yourself in a bullying situation.

Title Girls' access to education in Kyrgyzstan - Creating dialogue through Forum Theatre 
Description The video clip (5 min 49 sec) narrates a story of change by Nazima (MAP participant), a 16-year-old youngster from Jalal-Abad oblast in Kyrgyzstan. In the video, Nazima talks about girls' problems to graduate from secondary school and ways to tackle the issue through forum theatre. FTI chose her testimony due to her thorough description and personal observation of the problem, particularly in rural areas where gender stereotypes and inequality prevail. This became evident during her role as a protagonist in a forum theatre performance. Nazima explains the situation of girls and youth (e.g. their feelings) and their challenges to address the situation with adults who are not very attentive to the needs of girls and youth. In the video, Nazima describes the audience's reaction during and after the forum theatre performance. She also talks about the changes following the performance in the families and the community. Based on her personal experiences, Nazima emphasises the relevance of dialogues between parents, teachers, and children/youth, and the need to create such spaces. The video was developed by the Foundation for Tolerance International for the 'MAP Phase 1 - End of Year' event in September 2021.

For instance: - 'Our children are much smarter and more sincere than our adults.' - 'Asking schoolchildren and adolescents what they care about, and what they want, is the most important mission of adults; thus dialogue, trust and [other things] are created for the benefit of peaceful development in the future.' - 'Art keeps this world in harmony; a person's inner, spiritual world becomes rich through art. That is what we're missing right now.' - 'And this bid can touch the soul, to revive it. It unites people, allows them to communicate without words, to feel each other's heartache and sympathize. Painting, music, literature - with their influence, a person can change his/her principles and perception of the world. Sometimes it is art only that can bring people closer.'

In Rwanda, PPPF collaborated with Uyisenga Ni Imanzi (UMN).Artwork description:High Mountain with Thorns. Life was like climbing a big mountain covered in lots of trees, thorns, and bushes. Picture it as a tough journey from the bottom to the very top. The way up is not smooth; it's full of challenges, just like when you have to go through thick trees and thorns. Those challenges in life can be like pricking thorns or bushes blocking your path. Reaching the top, where I want to be, was really hard. Each step feels like pushing through the dense bushes, needing you to be strong and keep going. But here's the thing: as you climb, the view from the top gets better. The struggles I face make me stronger, just like getting through thorns makes reaching the top even more rewarding. The hard journey turns into a lesson, teaching me to keep going and grow stronger. Life's like climbing a mountain with thorns-it might be tough, but overcoming the hard parts makes reaching the top feel amazing. The climb teaches you to be tough, never give up, and to appreciate the beauty of making it through tough times.

Description Members of the young researchers' club of Secondary School Kyzyl-Zhol in the village Kyzyl-Zhol (Batken oblast) wrote a draft policy brief on the lack of parental attention to the upbringing and education of their child/ children.

Title Sachetana Child Club Street Drama Performance & Video - Informing Policy Brief (Nepal) 
Description Drug use can have negative impacts on the social, cultural, economic, academic, and physiological development for the individuals involve. At the same time, drug abuse is also an important and serious issue for the nation which needs to be addressed. For over a decade, Nepal has initiated small-scale harm reduction-based programs such as opioid substitution therapy (OST), needle syringe exchange program (NSEP), and community and peer outreach with the drop-in centers in a few major cities. However, experts agree - and the data shows - that the number of drug users is increasing at alarming rates, particularly in urban areas. People are now experimenting with drugs at a much earlier age, many as young as 12 or 13, and the majority of drug users were under 20 when they started. This has led to major public health issues related to drug use in young people. Drug use among young people has been attributed to various factors, including the relatively porous open borders between Nepal and India, the influence of the hippy era, poverty, illiteracy, drug availability and accessibility, along with peer pressure, curiosity, and lack of awareness of the dangers involved. Sachetana Child Club, under the MAP project, prepared video and street drama to raise awareness of drug abuse, using the video and drama to ask a series of questions: is there an answer to what is drug addiction? who is most vulnerable? why do people use drugs? what effect does drug use have on the community? The video and drama were shared with teachers, university officials, community leaders and local policy makers to explore the issues and develop the recommendations.

I promise that I will continue to support this type of programme to raise awareness. I would like to express my gratitude to the entire Mohankanya Secondary School family". Sita Basnet, Female ward member, Palpa Tansen ward 4, 12 March 2022. "Young people from Mohankanya Secondary School are successful in portraying the consequences of child marriage through drama. The drama was very impressive and touched my heart. In my opinion, the primary reasons for child marriage appear to be illiteracy, unemployment, and orthodox tradition, all of which contribute to a dark future. I would like to express my gratitude to the young people who created such a message-based program. I respectfully request that the outcomes of such programmes are screened in other locations and schools. In the future, you will always have the support of the ward office, as well as my own, in conducting these activities".

Title The impact of family problems on youth (Kirehe District; Rwanda) 
Description The members of the Kirehe Youth Club 'Twubake amahoro' (Kirehe District) developed a theatre piece between May and June 2021 that dealt with the impact of common family problems on youth in Rwanda.

As a result, parents fight, drink, and slip into poverty. This vicious cycle creates an insecure environment for their children. Many children get abandoned or run away. Girls often get pregnant soon after (i.e. child pregnancy).

Title Youth participatory mural guidebook "All Our Colours" (AHRC PhD, Indonesia) 
Description This Youth Participatory Mural Guidebook serves as the body of work submitted as part of Vina Puspita's practice-based PhD research degree. It is accompanied by a portolio and written thesis that provide further context and analysis. Vina Puspita's (AHRC PhD student) practice-based research explores participatory art with young people in urban neighbourhoods in Jakarta to promote meaningful participation in peacebuilding. Focusing on the use of murals with children at risk of violence to express social and environmental issues, her study proposes a model of community-based participatory mural art that places children at the centre, working alongside local leaders. The study explores the potential of public art to promote power-sharing and intergenerational collaboration while challenging the idea of children's participation in public space in Jakarta, which has been contested. The research project involves young people aged 12-18, primarily but not limited to those who are members of the Children's Forums at the urban village level in East Jakarta. In total, 49 children participated in the study, although the number varied between each mural project. Following a series of mural projects that took place from July to December 2022, together with young people and youth facilitators, a guidebook was co-created. The contents of the guidebook were formulated from the process and experiences of creating murals in four locations in the Jatinegara Sub-district. The guidebook includes a detailed technical step-by-step guide to making a mural that focuses on youth topics. This study is in connection with Mobile Arts for Peace (MAP): Informing the National Curriculum and Youth Policy for Peacebuilding in Kyrgyzstan, Rwanda, Indonesia, and Nepal (2020-2024). 
Type Of Art Creative Writing 
Year Produced 2023 
Impact Youth participatory mural guidebook "All Our Colours" co-created with young people, serves as a toolkit for implementing mural projects with/among young people. The guidebook was launched on 15 July 2023 online. It was attended by more than 60 people in attendance. The attendance included young muralists, youth facilitators from the Children's Forums and RPTRA staff, urban village leaders, sub-district officers, PPAPP officers, representatives from child protection agencies, other youth groups, and MAP researchers. The e-book is downloadable on MAP website as an online resource, both in Bahasa Indonesia and English. Following that, 60 copies of the guidebook was printed and distributed to local government officials, RPTRAs, and Children's Forums in September 2023.

Title [PhD Thesis Practice-based Portfolio] Participatory Arts for Meaningful Child Participation in Peacebuilding: A Case Study of the MAP Project in Indonesia 
Description This portfolio serves as the body of work, documenting the artistic practice submitted as part of a practice-based PhD research degree. It is accompanied by a written thesis that provides further context and analysis.Vina Puspita's practice-based research explores participatory art with young people in urban neighbourhoods in Jakarta to promote meaningful participation in peacebuilding. Focusing on the use of murals with children at risk of violence to express social and environmental issues, her study proposes a model of community-based participatory mural art that places children at the centre, working alongside local leaders. The study explores the potential of public art to promote power-sharing and intergenerational collaboration, while challenging the idea of children's participation in public space in Jakarta, which has been contested. The research project involves young people aged 12-18, primarily but not limited to those who are members of the Children's Forums at the urban village level in East Jakarta. In total, 49 children participated in the study, although the number varied between each mural project. Through a series of mural projects, they work with different levels of government agencies and occupy different types of spaces. The study highlights the importance of child-friendly approaches, such as collaborative mural painting, in facilitating children's participation in society and encouraging critical reflection on their conditions. It reveals the complex issues facing young people in urban Jakarta and demonstrates how art can be used as a tool for advocacy and for bringing local leaders and young people into dialogue. This study is in connection with Mobile Arts for Peace (MAP): Informing the National Curriculum and Youth Policy for Peacebuilding in Kyrgyzstan, Rwanda, Indonesia, and Nepal (2020-2024).

Impact Active involvement of a total of 49 young people (12-18 years) in the mural projects in East Jakarta, with positive impacts on promoting children's participation in peacebuilding, participants' self-development and community cohesion. The project also strengthens the relationship between young people, most of whom are members of children's forums, and local government (urban village and sub-district). The collaboration resulting from the project is helping to stimulate a change in attitudes towards children's participation in public space, and has added a nuance of child-friendly public art.

Description In Year 4, the final year of the four-year Mobile Arts for Peace (MAP) project (2020-24) our collaborations, activities, and outputs include 193 partnerships (schools, cultural organisations, civil society organisations, government bodies, NGOs, IOs), 806 engagement activities (workshops, seminars, conferences, exhibits, policy roundtables), 62 publications, and 251 artistic outputs (films, comics, performances, drawings, poems, songs). MAP focussed on supporting the implementation of 8 Medium Grant projects, 2 Large Grant projects, and 2 Commissioned projects building on findings from phase one and 32 youth-led Small Grant projects distributing £495,424.37. Key outputs from 2023-24 include: 1 co-edited book entitled 'Children, Youth and Participatory Arts for Peacebuilding: Lessons from Kyrgyzstan, Rwanda, Indonesia, and Nepal' published by Routledge, 2 doctoral theses, 3 peer-reviewed articles, 4 in-country executive reports, 3 MEL reports, 21 blogs, and a redesigned website to enhance engagement and entice dialogue (https://map.lincoln.ac.uk). We hosted a MAP/UNESCO policy roundtable in Kathmandu, Nepal (September 2023) to inform the Arts Education Framework and presented an online webinar as part of the UNESCO World Conference on Culture and Arts Education (February 2024). MAP created learning and capacity building opportunities through webinars, workshops, and resources focused on key themes that emerged: tackling child and gender-based violence, cultivating well-being and mental health, and advocating for progressive education. We created a Communication Champions team of youth researchers who supported in-country communication and dissemination through social media and newsletters, alongside the engagement of our Youth Advisory Board (YAB) who served to co-produce tools for the Large Grant monitoring, evaluation, and learning (MEL) projects. MAP partnered with leading organisations for scalability and sustainability including UNESCO (Nepal and Central Office, Paris), Rwanda Biomedical Centre (Rwanda), Ministry of Women Empowerment and Child Protection (Indonesia), and Ministry of Education (Kyrgyzstan). The project produced noteworthy new research networks connecting children and young people, artists, educators, civil society organisation workers, and decision-makers using arts-based methods to inform curriculum and policy from local to national and international levels.

These partnerships and collaborations across sectors and levels of society enabled capacity building through co-production and lived experience that has developed new research resources (toolkits, manuals, MEL tools, surveys, and policy (art) briefs, and increased research capability in relation to the use of locally informed arts-based methods through the co-creation of curriculum with the Rwanda Education Board (REB) to fill the gap in programming for Music, Dance, and Drama and UNESCO and Kathmandu University to develop an Arts Education Framework. Additional projects in Nepal have created local curriculum based on the adaptation of local cultural forms (Deuda, Mithala Arts) to enhance cultural heritage and preservation alongside positioning epistemic knowledge production from the centre to the periphery (urban to rural and marginalised communities). MAP has created youth-friendly spaces and platforms for children and young people to inform curriculum and policy through SDG 4 Quality Education, SDG 16 Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions, and SDG 17 Partnerships for the Goals.

Throughout the project, stakeholders (ex: British Council, UNICEF) have stated that although the issues and needs of children and young people have been evidenced in various international projects, that there is little to no engagement with decision-makers and policymakers in relation to how they might respond to children and young people. MAP has addressed this gap through a culturally informed approach for children and young people to articulate their experiences, needs, and solutions and to provide an arts-based platform for direct communication with decision-makers and policymakers (ex: forum theatre performances in Kyrgyzstan, Lenong folk performances in Indonesia, drumming festivals in Rwanda, and Deuda workshops in Nepal). The intention is to create a dialogic process that starts from and through the art form, and in so doing, consciously (re)constructs culture to address issues of concern to young people.

The central MAP team at University of Lincoln (UoL) aimed to build international impact through continued engagement with UNESCO to align MAP with the Arts Education Framework in Nepal and wider UNESCO programmes. We submitted an application to serve as UNESCO Chair on Arts-based Methods for Peacebuilding and Arts Education with and for Children and Young People with additional partners including Save the Children, Plan International, and British Council alongside our core MAP Co-Is and partners to extend the legacy of MAP. The core MAP team at UoL has extended to include the integration of two former MAP PhD studentships into paid research assistants and an additional PhD student who received a global scholarship award from UoL (he had formerly served as a member of our International Advisory Board). An additional MAP team member has joined from the British Academy Researcher at Risk programme; MAP is serving as the mentor for the fellowship. Researchers have been awarded follow on funding, external income generation, created NGOs, and achieved promotions.

Key findings relate to: a) knowledge gained in relation to research design and project implementation; b) strategies to inform curriculum and policy, c) buy-in and take up by policy-making bodies; and c) role of arts-based methods and participatory approaches to inform policy and mental health.

In terms of knowledge gained in relation to research design and project implementation, it was important to conduct a mapping exercise at the fore of the project to identify key partners and possible collaborators for each stage of the project as part of our Theory of Change and exploring Spheres of Influence - this mapping exercise was integral as part of the foundation for Phase Two projects and deliverables. Additionally, outputs served as generative, in that the outputs from Phase One and the 32 youth-led Small Grant projects informed outputs and deliverables for Phase Two (although there were often different participants and stakeholders) thus creating a snowball and systems approach to impact. The outputs were generative, thus also illustrating the dialogic and responsive ethics and ethos of the project.

The role of youth researchers from participant to facilitator to researcher to evaluator was also an important part of the research journey of children and young people who participated in the MAP project and illustrates meaningful engagement across the spectrum of research activities. Project partners and beneficiaries noted that this was a major learning for themselves, their organisations, and the wider field. Examples of youth researcher development include: opportunities to develop and guide peer training in MEL tools and organise a young researcher network (e.g. in Nepal), as well as opportunities to present and share experiences at international conferences (e.g. UNESCO online side event), and the contribution of MAP in supporting career progressions (e.g. higher education certification, employment, entrepreneurship).

In terms of strategies to inform curriculum and policy, the project worked with existing systems such as the child clubs in Nepal and extra-curricular clubs in Kyrgyzstan, but often informed or re-ignited systems that were no longer operating. In this way, the project linked the child clubs to local decision-making bodies to inform local curriculum in Nepal and created platforms for discussion and debate between children and young people with local policymakers in Kyrgyzstan, including national parliamentary events. In this way, illustrating varied approaches to informing curriculum and policy through the development of platforms to speak to and with policy and policymakers. Thus further facilitated impact at national policy levels, with input into the curriculum, the decision in Kyrgyzstan to embed youth club models across the country and specifically to integrate the MAP approach into the 'action plan for the development of youth policy for 2020 - 2025'. On a national level, MAP informed the mental health in schools programme in Rwanda and led trainings for over 46 hospitals, 82 health centres, and 45 schools in partnership with the Rwanda Biomedical Centre. MAP led the first arts-based platform to engage decision-makers in partnership with Save the Children; enabling a child and youth friendly approach to frame the government planning process (Musrenbang) in Indonesia. The Bandung City Government will use MAP to enable a call for action of children/youth voice using arts-based performances (the Panca Sora performance) as part of the Bandung City Government Development Planning Process of Bandung City (over 400 attendees participated in the inaugural 3 March 2024 event). These events are not seen as the final culmination, but rather a key part of a relational and processual understanding of policy informing and engaging approaches that work with and for children and young people to inform curriculum and policy.

In terms of buy-in and take up by policy-making bodies, it became evident that in some countries (Rwanda, Nepal) it was important to lead from the bottom-up. After initiating a pilot project in 25 schools and creating a psychosocial module, there was uptake and buy-in from national partners (Rwanda Education Board, Rwanda Biomedical Centre, National Rehabilitation Centre) for scaling up the project to national level through the training of hospitals and health centres. Likewise in Nepal, there is a government mandate that decentralises budgets and curriculum to the local level and thus MAP was able to work with local communities to inform local curriculum that was used to develop a pilot national Arts Education Framework in partnership with Kathmandu University. However, both Kyrgyzstan and Indonesia worked primarily with civil society organisations and schools to create researcher clubs that engaged stakeholders to create spaces for children and young people to have sustainable platforms built on ongoing relationships and communication systems with policy-making bodies. In all countries, curriculum was developed, policy briefs drafted, and arts-based policy roundtables executed. This demonstrated the importance of being able to adopt flexible models of bottom-up, top-down, and horizontal delivery and engagement, in order to facilitate impact, as well as the need to engage with civil society organisations, NGOs and communities to build understanding.

In terms of the role of arts-based methods and participatory approaches to inform policy and mental health, this was an area in which significant new knowledge was generated. Although one of our original research questions related to the role of local healing practices, the MAP project found that the arts enabled multiple platforms for mental health and well-being resources and policies to be addressed through the co-production of research tools (films, comics, paintings) that were used to express issues and needs in relation to mental health that were then applied to policy briefs, psychosocial modules, and curriculum (Continuing Professional Development course at University of Rwanda). The MAP methodology provided a child and youth-friendly and non-clinical space to address mental health and well-being during the pandemic (see MAP at Home project) and beyond. In terms of peacebuilding, mental health and well-being was considered an important component in addressing post-conflict contexts.
Exploitation Route MAP research has led to the integration of the MAP methodology in schools, health centres, community centres, civil society organisations, higher education institutions, and government bodies through co-produced manuals/toolkits/research tools and capacity training that has been conducted by in-country teams.

In terms of academic routes, MAP has been integrated into the Department of STEAM education at Kathmandu University and Tribuhuvan University is adapting the MA programme on Conflict, Peace and Development Studies to integrate arts-based methods for peacebuilding. Internationally, MAP methods have been introduced in courses for graduate and undergraduate students at the University of Edinburgh and at Royal Roads University in Childhood Practice, Masters of Education, Masters of Leadership, and a Graduate Certificate in Transforming Child Protection to Well-being.

Non-academic routes include the training of seven child clubs in Nepal, 16 youth researcher clubs in Kyrgyzstan, 18 mental health in school clubs in Rwanda, and the training of CSO staff including Save the Children and Red Nose Foundation in Indonesia who aim to further the engagement of MAP resources and methods to create sustainable platforms for children and young people to be in dialogue with decision-makers. Other non-academic routes include the integration of MAP into mental health and well-being services as evidenced through the inclusion of the MAP psychosocial module and national level training and implementation in Rwanda.

Leading international organisations like UNICEF and British Council stated that MAP contributes to a big gap in policy and practice regarding the creation of a child and youth-friendly platform to illustrate issues and needs and to create a space for the accountability of policymakers. It also helps to fill gaps in service provision around mental wellbeing support that currently exists across the four countries, allowing children/young people to access support that otherwise would not be available (particularly in more remote areas). MAP is currently applying for UNESCO Chair status to continue taking research outcomes forward with the ongoing engagement of MAP Network Plus researchers as Chair members.

Description Impact was monitored and evaluated through the two Large Grant projects led by University of Northampton and University of Edinburgh. The mixed-method design focused on understanding the efficacy and impact of the Medium Grant projects. The research focused on gathering interview/focus group data from young people to understand the changes in their lives implemented by MAP. Further, it also gathered data from other stakeholders including teachers, community workers, NGOs, artists and policymakers. This is supplemented by quantitative data in the form of surveys gathered from young people at the start and end of their engagement with MAP, with questions that explore MAP efficacy, young people's well-being, perceptions of community cohesion and understanding of peacebuilding. There were measured impacts on young researchers' and MAP participants' well-being, knowledge of peace and peacebuilding as concepts and development processes, as well as perceptions of community cohesion and young people's confidence to engage with different adult stakeholder groups. We conducted a MAP Impact Week (17-20 July 2023) that included 40 participants (10 from each country) who provided an artistic output to narrate the impact of MAP on themselves, their communities, and their societies (see https://map.lincoln.ac.uk/artistic-outputs/media-and-documentaries/). The MEL projects included 351 completed surveys and a longitudinal sample of 171 young people across the four countries. The data gathered to date shows that there is clear evidence of the value and impact of artforms in developing peacebuilding curricula and learning with children and young people. The data gathered has demonstrated the value of participatory arts approaches for cultural integration and peacebuilding. The feedback from the children and young people with regard to these methods is that it enables them to express themselves clearly, in mediums that are comfortable and or familiar to them. It also allows them to (re)define key terms and concepts including peace, peacebuilding, and mental health and to convey their ideas to wider stakeholders (notably various adult groups). Further, the survey data illustrates the journey that children and young people go on through MAP, as their knowledge and understanding of social problems, peace and peacebuilding increase. The data demonstrates that in the early phases of support, the well-being of children and young people can slightly decrease, as their 'eyes open' to the issues facing their communities. However, well-being then increases as the children and young people are able to develop solutions and raise awareness to these problems, through their arts-based approaches, as they are empowered to see how they can help to solve these issues. Consequently, the well-being and knowledge of children and young people is greatly enhanced following their engagement with MAP. Arts-based methods enhanced dialogue to drive conversations between children and young people and local policymakers, as well as raising awareness of issues with parents and other adult groups. Further, arts-based outputs had powerful impact and effects on local policymakers. MAP had a strong impact on the well-being of children and young people over time, as well as their confidence, understanding and ability to articulate peacebuilding to wider audiences. MAP and the use of arts-based methods creates safe spaces for the sharing of problems and dialogue on their solutions, in a way that is less confrontational than normal conversations between groups may be. These methods have a way of emotionally engaging with audiences and bridging generational, gender, ethnic and other social barriers that may ordinarily prevent positive societal change. The role of the Youth Advisory Board within the Large Grants work, engaging with youth researchers from the Medium Grant projects, has also been part of a considered process that allow children and young people to lead the MAP research work and drive impact. The YAB meets monthly outside of school hours and is led by the children and young people, with facilitation from the Large Grant research teams and in-country adult advocates. The YAB has worked to deliver education and training to children and young people around research methods, ethics, and peacebuilding. Further, the children and young people have worked to develop and co-produce research outputs for the project, including supporting data gathering, research papers, infographic and media-based outputs (i.e. video, animations, songs). The children and young people on the YAB have also supported dissemination activities and will be named authors or acknowledged (as appropriate) on research outputs produced from the project. The intention is for the YAB to continue to function beyond the life of the project, led by the children and young people, so that they continue to own their journey. Indeed, the research in Phase One, the Small Grants and now the Large Grants evaluations, has demonstrated that the impact of MAP is one that is longitudinal, reshaping policymakers' perceptions of how youth engagement can be embedded in youth policy and curriculum. This has allowed the breadth of engagement and hence impact to grow over time, with 16 new youth clubs established in Kyrgyzstan, wider roll out of support to children in Rwanda (encompassing over 10,000 young people across 25 schools), and engagement with the APP Service, Social Service, and Government in Indonesia. All policymakers acknowledged the power of the arts-based methods utilised in bridging gaps between children, youth and adults in discussing social problems. The longitudinal data gathered has shown the long-term positive impacts of MAP on the well-being and social skills of participants, whilst there understanding of the social problems facing their countries and localities (including inequality, class/caste-based discrimination, communal misunderstandings, gender-based violence, and a lack of trust being pervasive issues across the countries) was also deepened. It has also been noted in the data gathering for the Large Grants work (currently ongoing) that the mental health support embedded within MAP, fills gaps in provision in the countries where such provision for children and young people is not made by the government and social services (due to resource and geographical issues). Our data also shows the importance arts-based methods can play in safeguarding and supporting children and young people, particularly in areas where there is currently little state provision for psychosocial support. MAP has significantly informed curriculum, mental health provision, and the engagement of decision-makers with children and young people through the arts-based methods and outputs. This has led to continued sustainability and the legacy of MAP through the creation of researcher clubs, the implementation of arts-based curriculum into teaching and learning, the training of health care services, and changes in policy-making bodies in terms of creating ongoing platforms for arts-based dialogues with and for children and young people. 1. Young people: The impact on the young people who led the delivery of projects was significant, both in terms of skills and softer outcomes such as wellbeing. Specifically: a. Upskilling: young people were supported to develop core skills that will have educational, employability and general life benefits for them. Namely, these included confidence-building, social and communication skills, and developing expertise in arts-based and digital methods. This enhanced their creativity and ability to function in a team to effectively deliver projects. b. Reducing trauma: The projects helped to reduce trauma in young people, by enabling them to express their feelings and emotions through arts-based methods in safe spaces alongside their peers. This enabled them to process their past experiences, build empathy with peers around their past experiences, and learn how to effectively communicate this to others in the community. c. Mental health: The follow-on to this reduction in the effects of trauma was to also build the mental wellbeing of young people, as was also noted in the Phase One research. Young people discussed feeling better emotionally, less anxious and happier in life. 2. Teachers/schools: The projects brought benefits to teacher and schools, through the upskilling of teachers, enhanced learning materials and the building of networks. Specifically: a. Providing new practice and teaching materials: The projects promoted new practices to teachers/adults that could be applied in their work, and built understanding around social problems and how to solve them. It also provided new teaching materials for schools (including those not directly involved in MAP) for use with young people across the four countries. b. Alternative educational provision: Following on from the above, the use of arts-based materials for peacebuilding in schools, youth clubs and communities provides alternative educational provision, not just for the young people, but for all those in the community who engage with the projects and their outputs. In this way, the projects acted like community education programmes, but with innovative, easy-to-understand and communicate methods. c. Links to community: The projects built links between schools/youth clubs and the communities, especially parents, local decision-makers and NGOs. These links and relationships will be beneficial to all in the future, but especially the schools/youth clubs. 3. Community: As was noted above, the projects acted like community education programmes, raising awareness of social problems, promoting dialogue between stakeholder groups and building empathy. Specifically: a. Community education and awareness-raising: The projects essentially acted as an amplifier for awareness of and discussions around the social problems within communities. It enabled dialogue between different stakeholder groups and brought understanding of the underlying causes (and possible solutions) to these social problems. b. Community cohesion: This building of dialogue, creation of networks, development of empathy and coproduction of possible solutions, also enhanced community cohesion, as evidenced in the Social Impact Report. 4. Youth co-produced policy impact: There was a significant focus within Medium Grants ensuring that the policy impacts delivered in Phase One were built upon. Most of the projects funded across the four countries produced policy briefs, designed to be easily accessible and engaging, which were disseminated to communities, decision-makers, key public officials and across social media. This enabled the strong impact identified earlier in the report, and the commitment to do more through institutions to solve problems, including through funding streams being enabled. The young people were also enabled to meet with and disseminate their work to key international stakeholders from UNESCO. This not only disseminated the work completed and its impacts, but also empowered the young people and demonstrated to them that they could influence and drive change even in large, transnational organisations such as the United Nations. The way that MAP enables young people to safely engage through arts-based methods with community leaders, local policy-makers and international partners presents a unique element of the programme. Indeed, it offers many learning opportunities for individuals and organisations working in the peacebuilding (and wider international development) areas, of how to empower and support young people's voices to be heard. 5. Power of arts-based methods: Ultimately, the strength of the projects rested in their use of arts-based methods, which across the funded projects repeatedly demonstrated their power and value in helping to develop community understanding of problems, build empathy and cohesion and drive wider impact through policy. Indeed, the use of arts-based methods and infographic policy briefs arguably had more impact on changing policies than an academic policy paper could have ever achieved. In engaging the wider communities, the projects also ensured that they built a groundswell of support for the solutions developed.

Impact ________________________________________ PROJECT NAME: MOBILE ARTS FOR PEACE (MAP): INFORMING THE NATIONAL CURRICULUM AND YOUTH POLICY FOR PEACEBUILDING IN KYRGYZSTAN, RWANDA, INDONESIA AND NEPAL (PROJECT REFERENCE: AMS452316) REPORT OF THE WORKSHOP TO DEVELOP THE CONTINUOUS PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT (CPD) CERTIFICATE IN TEACHING AND LEARNING USING MUSIC, DANCE AND DRAMA UR-SPIU, October 4-8, 2021 (Arrival: 03/10/2021; Departure: 09/10/2021) ________________________________________ 1. Background The University of Rwanda, College of Education (UR-CE) in collaboration with the University of Lincoln - Lead partner (UoL-UK) has received a grant from the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC-UK). The grant is meant to implement the research project entitled "Mobile Arts for Peace (MAP): Informing the National Curriculum and Youth Policy for Peacebuilding in Kyrgyzstan, Rwanda, Indonesia and Nepal". For the side of UR-CE, the core objective of the grant is to develop a Continuous Professional Development (CPD) Certificate in teaching and learning using music, dance and drama for high school teachers and pilot the CPD in one district (Kicukiro). It is expected that the CPD will serve as a tool to implement the Competence-Based Curriculum (CBC). The Rwanda Basic Education Board (REB) is happy with the initiative. The first step involved training a group of 15 UR-CE Lecturers in the Mobile Arts for Peace (MAP) methodology which uses music, dance and drama for teaching and learning and for promoting peace in schools. The developed CPD was deeply informed by the MAP approach. It is expected that the CPD Certificate in teaching and learning using music, dance and drama will address some of the following problems observed in the education system in Rwanda: • Teacher-centred pedagogies in high schools where learners are considered as empty vessels to be filled with content/knowledge. • Low involvement of learners in the learning and teaching process. • Lack of a sustained teaching methodology to implement the Competence-Based Curriculum (CBC) in high schools in Rwanda as recommended by the Rwanda Basic Education Board (REB). • Low involvement of local cultural art forms in teaching and learning but also in promoting the culture of peace in Rwanda schools. • High levels of dropout and repetition in primary and secondary schools due to children 'disliking' the school . • Potential instances of physical violence infringed on learners observed in the form of corporal punishment and conflated with promoting discipline. Also, the CPD intends to address potential structural and cultural (symbolic) violence in the form of ideologies, beliefs, attitudes and values which might be at odds with the ideal of creating conditions allowing high school learners to bring the best out of themselves and actualize their potentials. More often than not, there is a tendency among scholars and practitioners to neglect and sideline our cultural wealth and heritage at the expense of Western models on the assumption that African modes of thinking and representation are ill suited for knowledge transfer. Most of the time teaching and learning is informed by categories, beliefs, images and representations from the West and learners struggle to understand these categories because not only they are taught in foreign languages but also these categories do not correspond to or feature children's world view. The project MAP seeks to retrieve the Rwandan cultural repertoire and use it as a means for enhancing learning and teaching. The idea is to retrieve available local cultural art forms (music, dance and drama) and use them as means for an interactive teaching and learning session. Understood this way, the project MAP is broadly responding to the epistemological agenda of decolonizing education and knowledge. Basically what this means is that in MAP approach we are bridging the gap between Rwandan local cultural artists and high school teachers. MAP seeks to create a situation where an artist is working alongside a high school teacher to create knowledge and teach. This team-teaching between the artist and high school teachers deconstruct dominant narratives in Rwanda were art is seen as meant for entertainment purposes only. 2. Objectives of the workshop The five-day workshop took place within the premises of UR-SPIU and sought to achieve the following objectives: • Complete the development of 12 MAP lesson plans - this work was initiated last April 2021. • Produce the program proposal, program sturcture as well as program specification for the CPD in teaching and learning using music, dance and drama. • Develop module descriptions. • Edit and finalize CPD module descriptions. 3.

Impact PROJECT NAME: MOBILE ARTS FOR PEACE (MAP): INFORMING THE NATIONAL CURRICULUM AND YOUTH POLICY FOR PEACEBUILDING IN KYRGYZSTAN, RWANDA, INDONESIA AND NEPAL (PROJECT REFERENCE: AMS452316) REPORT ON THE WORKSHOP TO DEVELOP MODEL LESSON PLANS & TEACHER GUIDE FOR THE CONTINUOUS PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT (CPD) CERTIFICATE IN TEACHING AND LEARNING USING MUSIC, DANCE AND DRAMA CMHS (Confucius Institute), December 12-17, 2021 (Arrival: 12/12/2021; Departure: 17/12/2021) WEBPAGE LINK: https://youtu.be/fdg4fd8aMNw ________________________________________ 1. Introduction and background The University of Rwanda, College of Education (UR-CE) in collaboration with the University of Lincoln - Lead partner (UoL-UK) has received a grant from the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC-UK). The grant is meant to implement the research project entitled "Mobile Arts for Peace (MAP): Informing the National Curriculum and Youth Policy for Peacebuilding in Kyrgyzstan, Rwanda, Indonesia and Nepal". For the side of UR-CE, the core objective of the grant is to develop a Continuous Professional Development (CPD) Certificate in teaching and learning using music, dance and drama for high school teachers and pilot the CPD in one district (Kicukiro). It is expected that the CPD will serve as a tool to implement the Competence-Based Curriculum (CBC). The Rwanda Basic Education Board (REB) is happy with and supportive of the initiative. The first step involved training a group of 15 UR-CE Lecturers in the Mobile Arts for Peace (MAP) methodology which uses music, dance and drama for teaching and learning and for promoting peace in schools. The CPD being developed is deeply informed by the MAP approach. The second step involved producing the program proposal, program specifications and module descriptions. The present workshop focused on developing model lesson plans to teach different high school subjects (maths and sciences, social sciences and languages) using music, dance and drama. Funds to be used to develop this CPD are from the MAP project and are already hosted by UR-SPIU. It is expected that the CPD Certificate in teaching and learning using music, dance and drama will address some of the following problems observed in the education system in Rwanda: • Lack of a sustained teaching methodology to implement the Competence-Based Curriculum (CBC) in high schools in Rwanda as recommended by the Rwanda Basic Education Board (REB). • Teacher-centred pedagogies in high schools where some learners are considered as empty vessels to be filled with content/knowledge. • Low involvement of learners in the teaching and learning process. • Low involvement of local cultural art forms in teaching and learning but also in promoting the culture of peace in Rwanda schools. • High levels of dropout and repetition in primary and secondary schools due to children 'disliking' the school . • Potential instances of physical violence infringed on learners observed in the form of corporal punishment and conflated with promoting discipline. Also, the CPD intends to address potential structural and cultural (symbolic) violence in the form of ideologies, beliefs, attitudes and values which might be at odds with the ideal of creating conditions allowing high school learners to bring the best out of themselves and actualize their potentials. 4. Dates and participants The five-day workshop spaned from December 12 to December 17, 2021. The arrival date was 12/12/2021 and the departure was 17/12/2021. The workshop took place in the premises of the College of Medecine and Health Sciences (CMHS) - former KIE precisely in the Confucius Institute. Participants to this workshop included 15 UR-CE lecturers already trained in the MAP methodology, three UR-CE lecturers teachng biology, physics, and chemistry; six high school teachers from Rwamagana district (these teachers are Master Trainers in MAP approach because they have been trained in this methodology by the University of Lincoln for more than 3 years); and 3 officials from the Rwanda Art council representing music, dance and drama federations, respectively; and one official from the Institute of Research and Dialogue for Peace (IRDP), another partner to the MAP project in Rwanda. Key achievements of the workshop • A total of 8 model lesson plans showing how to teach maths, sciences (biology, chemistry, physics), social sciences (history) and languages (Kinyarwanda, English and literature) using music, dance and drama were developped. • A teacher guide showing how high school teachers can use music, dance and drama as they teach different subjects: maths, sciences (biology, chemistry, physics), social sciences and languages was produced. The teacher guide has the following structure: Foreword; Introduction; Section 1: How to teach maths using music, dance and drama; Section 2: How to teach sciences - biology, chemistry and physics using music, dance and drama; Section 3: How to teach social sciences usign music, dance and drama; Section 4. How to teach languages using music, dance and drama; Conclusion and references. • It was noted that some guidelines should accompany the teacher guide. Some of the guidelines are: 1. Multiple Intelligence: Learners have different learning styles and preferences. The arts-based methodology does not replace other approaches that were in use by teachers. It comes to enrich them. Some learners enjoy learning seeing the writing of the teacher on the blackboard, some enjoy watching a movie, etc. 2. In case a teachers has an activity which can serve as a warm up and lead-in this would be the ideal. In some cases an activity can even be used throughout the lesson and adapted to different sections of the lesson: introduction, development, and conclusion & evaluation. 3. The arts-based approach has to take into consideration learners with disability and indicate how these impairments will be catered for. 4. In the future, there is a need to think about the digital content in terms of digital model lesson plans and teacher guide. Way Forward The next step will involve a couple of things. First, there is a need to put together all developed materials for edititng. These materials include (i) MAP lesson units; (ii) CPD Program proposal, program specification and module descriptions; (iii) model lesson plans; and (iv) teachers guide. Secondly, the piloting of the CPD will be conducted in Kicukiro District. Prepared by Ass. Prof. Sylvestre Nzahabwanayo (PhD) Principla Investigator; Date: December 19, 2021

Impact Drawing on the impact of MAP (i) in learning and teaching in high schools, (ii) in enabling communication between youth and policy makers, (ii) in fostering healing and memory sharing through story telling, the University of Rwanda (UR) in collaboration with the Institute of Research and Dialogue for Peace (IRDP) contributed in the revision on the Itorero training policy. Itorero is a Rwandan civic education platform where young people and other categories of Rwandans learn history, values and taboos of the Rwandan culture. UR and IRDP pushed the agenda for using music, dance and drama as a training methodology during Itorero training programs. There was engagement with Itorero Senior Management and this led to the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding between IRDP and the National Itorero Commission (NIC). In the framework of this MoU UR and IRDP are going to train Itorero trainers in the MAP approach to allow them using this approach as they train young people and other categories of Rwandans. This move marks the introduction of MAP into government-led civic education programs and platforms where MAP is viewed as a tool for citizenship education, history education, and values education all of which meant to enhance unity and reconciliation among Rwandans.

Description UNESCO MAP National Dialogue on Culture and Arts Education in Nepal (21 September 2023)
Geographic Reach Multiple continents/international 
Policy Influence Type Contribution to a national consultation/review
Impact In September 2023, MAP organised a National Dialogue on Culture and Arts Education with UNESCO that served as a pivotal platform to integrate culture and the arts into the education system. This informed a number of national policies related to the development of local curriculum. The Constitution of Nepal 2015 (Article 31- 5) has included the rights of education in mother tongue as a fundamental right. Similarly, schedule 8 of the constitution has listed basic and secondary education, among others, as a power given to the (LG). LG Operation Act (LGOA), 2017 (article 11-JA, 1 and 18) further elaborated that the LG has the power to formulate educational plans and policies for the promotion, protection, preservation of local knowledge, skills, language, and technologies. National curriculum framework (NCF), 2019 (second edition) and Basic Education Curriculum (BEC) 2022 have also stated about the compulsory need of one additional local subject in the school curriculum. Curriculum Development Center (CDC) Nepal has also published Curriculum and Textbook Development and Distribution Guidelines (2022) and Orientation Manual for Local Curriculum Development (OMLCD) in 2020 for providing guidelines to prepare local curriculum to the LG. However, despite the efforts of the federal government in promoting local curriculum, many LG have not prepared local curriculum yet NCF (2019) has pointed out that the capacity of LG in regards to the formation and implementation of local curriculum should be developed. NCF has further stated that some LG lack technical and financial resources for the preparation of local curriculum. Similarly, OMLCD 2020 has also stated that LG can coordinate with the non governmental organisations for the preparation of local curriculum. MAP has informed local level curriculum through a number of projects that were presented during the National Dialogue event. Outcomes: 1. Increased awareness and involvement of policymakers, artists, youth, youth organisations and educators in policy dialogue and promotion of culture and arts-based education pedagogy (teaching and learning), arts education, and preservation of traditional and indigenous culture, overall empowered arts education systems. 2. Enhanced Cultural Understanding and Appreciation - partnership and collaboration with the government to integrate art-based education pedagogy into the formal and non-formal curricula. 3. Cultural and Artistic Entrepreneurship - One of the potential outcomes of the National Dialogue is the promotion of cultural and artistic entrepreneurship. By aligning arts education with the principles of the UNESCO 2005 Convention, aspiring artists and cultural practitioners can be empowered to contribute to the sustainable development of their communities.

Title MAP Manual for Training of Trainers (TOT) - Indonesia 
Description Between the 25 February and 10 March 2021, MAP Indonesia worked on the translation (Bahasa) and adaption of the MAP Manual into the Indonesian context. The adaption of the Manual was informed by local cultural artists who attended the MAP's Manual Adaption Workshops. The reworked manual has 264 pages.

Impact The Training of the Trainers (TOT) sessions (both online and offline) in Indonesia incorporated 19 exercises of the adapted manual. Those needed to be adjusted a little further to the online and offline format (following Covid-19 protocols). The additional adjustment helped to gain additional feedback on the adaption of the manual and the TOT and vice versa. Please find below some examples of the adjustment of the MAP manual: 1. The adapted manual provides additional space/ boxes for comments/ notes of facilitators who wish to adjust offline exercises to an online format. 2. Interactions between facilitator and translator: the facilitator is asked to tell a story with gestures/ body language (no voice); the translator can convey the message simultaneously. This way, the audience continues to pay attention to the facilitator. 3. The translation of some words from English to Bahasa did not work (e.g. 'Possible Reflection Questions' - 'Alternatif Pertanyaan Refleksi'). The translation gives the facilitators the possibilities to opt for the questions or not. Thus, several of them chose not to use them. However, the use of these questions is highly desired for the exercise.
