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 | 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. The storylines are based on research findings gathered during the baseline assessment, the process of defining 5 domains and a pilot study of the pre-test questionnaire. |
| Type Of Art | Creative Writing |
| Year Produced | 2021 |
| Impact | At the time of writing, 27 young people (19 female, 8 male) between the age of 13 and 19 years read the comic booklet and answered the questions. The data compiled was used to develop descriptive statistic scores of their knowledge and perception of the 5 MAP domains (arts for peacebuilding, arts for dialogue, psychosocial support, policy initiative and child participation in decision-making. The three stories of the booklet served to transmit key messages surrounding the 5 domains and enhanced the discussion among participants. Some young people related the stories to their own life experience. |
| Title | Comic booklet on inter-community brawl (Indonesia) |
| Description | Young research participants (7 female, 3 male; 15 to 19 years old), 2 youth facilitators (female, male) from Forum Anak Cipinang Besar Utara, and 1 facilitator of the MAP Indonesian team in Jakarta co-developed a comic booklet on inter-community brawls. The group initiated its work on the 15th of January 2022 and held (at least) 4 offline/ online discussions (WhatsApp group). MAP PhD candidate Vina Puspita supported the development as an illustrator. The young researchers developed the storyline and provided illustrations and pictures from the location to Vina Puspita. The storyline is based on an identified problem by young people of the Child Forum of Cipinang Besar Utara, who have experienced inter-community brawls. The comic booklet has 11 pages (full colour) and will be published in print and e-format. The comic draft is currently presented to the local urban village leaders (consultation process) to obtain their support (if they endorse the comic booklet, it will become an acceptable tool in the community). The comic booklet assesses young research participants' understanding of inter-community brawls. It will also serve as an advocacy tool to prevent brawls in the future. The development of the comic booklet forms part of MAP Phase 2 'Small Grants' in Indonesia. |

| 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). |
| Type Of Art | Film/Video/Animation |
| Year Produced | 2022 |
| Impact | A representative from CSO 'Maiti Nepal': 'I am sure that this Deuda video will help to raise awareness. I ask the team to upload the video on social media as soon as possible. If everyone fulfils his/her responsibilities these activities will be reduced. All the artists are doing a great job.' The representative from the local government promised to make an effort to conduct an awareness campaign at every school to protect young people. |

| Title | Don't disturb the peace (Rwanda) |
| Description | Alexis Barinabo, a member of the Gicumbi Youth Club wrote the song 'Don't disturb the peace' in May 2021. The song is about peacebuilding and lessons learnt from arts-based activities with club members. The lyrics describe the MAP project and Rwandan values on peace and security. It highlights the following 'taboos' in Rwandan culture that affect both club members and the community: history, instilling conflicts, drug consumption, being a traitor to his country. The song also talks about the benefits of peace as a source and a shield of security, development, and safety. It calls on the youth to leave a positive legacy for the future generation and preserves the memory. |

| Title | Drama on child rights developed by child club members of Janapriya Secondary School (Makwanpur; Nepal) |
| Description | The child clubs of Janapriya Secondary School and Churiyamai Secondary School in Hetauda (Makwanpur district) developed a drama on the abuse of children as a labourer and the need to protect children from exploitation by community members. The drama aimed to create awareness about the current situation and change people's perceptions and attitudes towards children (i.e. cheap labourers). The video was produced after a workshop on mobile filmmaking in spring 2021 that introduced students to scriptwriting, acting, and filming. The video was published on Divya Sewa Child Club's YouTube channel on the 15th of September 2021. |

| 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. |

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.' |

| 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".

The youth-led research projects created a range of arts-based research outputs including films, comics, performances, drawings, dances, and songs to disseminate research findings. These outputs also informed policy briefs that were presented to local and national-level decision-makers. In total, we have awarded £1,225,038 in grant funding to date. Networks and Outputs MAP engaged with over 7,250 research participants between March 2022-23 (totalling over 28,124 since the initial implementation of MAP and sister UKRI GCRF Newton project MAP at Home) and created links with 152 partner organisations, delivered 519 engagement activities, and produced 147 artistic products to date. Other key outputs include articles, toolkits, reviews, and blogs on our website. Our core management team delivered 4 network events during Year 3 including 'Thinking throughInforming Curricula' (17 June 2022), 'Agents of Change' (24 May 2022), 'Thinking through Bottom Up Policymaking' (10 May 2022), and the 'MAP International Conference' (11-14 November 2022) engaging over 350 attendees. The MAP International Conference involved participants across the MAP Network including Co-Is from Phase One, International Advisory Board members, Youth Advisory Board members, PI-s from Medium and Large Grants, and core MAP staff. In a 'Policy Informing' session with UNESCO Paris, the UNESCO youth development specialist stated that they had never engaged with a youth-led policy-informing initiative like MAP previously and were committed to advancing policy-informing roundtables with key policy experts in targeted areas. MAP outputs include four peer-reviewed articles, 27 blogs, and the submission of a co-edited book with Routledge entitled Children, Youth, and Participatory Arts: Lessons from Kyrgyzstan, Rwanda, Indonesia, and Nepal that was written with Co-Is from Phase One. Policy impact has emerged in relation to the creation of over 22 policy briefs developed from the youth-led small grant projects that were delivered to in-country partnering organisations and local to national government bodies. MAP has integrated new staff into the core team to strengthen and coordinate research and practice with an additional emphasis on the engagement of youth researchers, arts-based methods, and informing curriculum and policy. We conducted an 'Agents of Change' event that partnered with the UNESCO Youth as Researchers initiative to explore how we might engage with policy-makers and learn from the MAP youth-led research projects to design Medium and Large grants. In addition, we co-designed and delivered numerous capacity-building workshops focussed on arts-based methods, ethics, safeguarding, and conducting research with the youth-led Small Grant teams and delivered start-up workshops for Medium and Large Grant projects. In-Country MAP Teams In MAP Kyrgyzstan, project activities have had a significant social and educational impact through partnerships with 16 schools; providing capacity-building workshops, and enabling young people to raise their concerns, and facilitating their joint analysis of research data at the local level. Young people raised issues relevant to Kyrgyzstan such as: restriction of girls in education, violence against migrant children, racketeering at school, dependency of young people on social networks, misunderstanding between children and parents, lack of interest among schoolchildren in education, environmental problems, and lack of conditions for full-fledged education in schools. As was found in the earlier stage of MAP Kyrgyzstan in the framework of community mapping, there are almost no communication channels in the communities to engage people across age and gender divides. It was also noted that in the project communities, there is a general lack of cultural organisations that can act as appropriate spaces for dialogue in terms of conflict prevention and peacebuilding. The fact that the number of cultural organisations is decreasing across Kyrgyzstan has also been reported in other studies (Filatova, 2021). MAP served as a platform for dialogue between a wide range of groups including youth and adults, and men and women from different ethnic and social backgrounds to understand, empathise, listen, and hear each other for everyday peacebuilding. Such continuous joint communication contributed to improving mutual understanding and diversity among the community, as it helps to overcome biases and intolerance. Through participation in the events, young people brought their voices to peers and adults, involved decision-makers in the process of discussing the problem, and showed them problems through the eyes of young people. By engaging in live events, attendees (that included prime stakeholders related to targeted issues and problems) aimed to understand the situation from the inside and to find a solution based on real opportunities. Partnerships have been forged with the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Culture, and the Department of Youth Policy on the inclusion in the curricula of extracurricular activities. Plans include the involvement of artists and students studying at the faculties of art, as well as training teaching staff in the methods of using art forms for communication between parents, schoolchildren, and teachers in the educational process. MAP school clubs held 57 small grant events involving 1,620 participants that included over 85 decision-makers from various structures including: representatives of local authorities, local deputies, law enforcement agencies, aksakal councils, women's councils, youth committees, environmental organisations, doctors, lawyers, and varied additional stakeholders. MAP Kyrgyzstan researcher clubs authored 16 policy briefs that were developed within the youth-led small grant research projects and dialogue between the youth researchers and decision-makers on selected problems. In MAP Rwanda the project contributes to peacebuilding, mental health and wellbeing through the evolution of MAP to address in-country needs and issues in partnership with Uyisenga Ni Imanzi, Rwanda Basic Education Board, and Rwanda Biomedical Centre. Due to the ongoing impact of the 1994 Genocide Against the Tutsi on mental health and wellbeing, there is an emphasis on the MAP research question: 'How might psychosocial support, including local healing practices, be better integrated within peacebuilding approaches by using the arts to promote the well-being of children and youth, especially those from marginalised groups?' The network in Rwanda has worked alongside national health and education partners, 45 district-level hospitals, 99 district hospitals, and 46 schools/MAP clubs working with over 1,500 research participants. MAP clubs were formed in schools and the MAP psychosocial module was developed alongside the delivery of training in the use of arts-based methods for mental health support and wellbeing. The MAP psychosocial module (and training of health professionals and educators) has been integrated into district-level health centres, hospitals, and schools. In schools, the development of MAP clubs has improved students' mental health awareness; children became more aware of mental health and gained coping mechanisms for different expressed mental health challenges. MAP youth participants disseminated their research through a visual exhibition and presented policy briefs to the local government. MAP Rwanda certified a Continuing Professional Development (CPD) programme in partnership with the University of Rwanda and Rwanda Biomedical Centre to train teachers in the use of arts-based approaches for mental health and wellbeing. In MAP Indonesia the Youth Advisory Board (YAB) participated in government and UNICEF sponsored national consultation of children and applied MAP's participatory art-based approaches to the design and delivery of the event. In a consultative capacity, MAP Indonesia developed technical guidelines on the roles of the Child's Forum to advocate and report issues of child rights. The forum was organised by the Ministry of Women Empowerment and Child Protection. Conducted music workshop for 46 young people from seven partnering youth-based organisations that included cultural artists, youth facilitators, and young people. Completed two small grant research projects with 10 youth researchers (7 girls, 3 boys), based on topics they identified in Phase One: sexual violence and inter-community brawls. Produced a comic book entitled 'JANGAN' or 'Don't' with brawls as its theme, and a short film entitled 'Rumah Tak Ramah' or 'Unfriendly Home' with sexual violence as its theme. Used the comic book and short film in focus group discussions with local community members, i.e. women group, girls and boys who identified the issues presented in the two art forms as issues of their own neighborhood, and discussed solutions together. Produced one policy brief and one video research briefing based on the processes and outcomes of the small grant projects. Conducted audience with Jakarta government officials that involved an online exhibition with MAP adult and youth researchers showcasing the comic book and film the young researchers created in Phase Two small grants to the Local Office of Empowerment and Child Protection, and Jakarta Art Council. Created a short video on 'influencing policy journey' for the MAP Conference at Lincoln, in November 2022. Three of the MAP Indonesia youth researcher and Youth Advisory Board (YAB) members, facilitated the National Consultation of Indonesian Children. The event was organised by the Ministry of National Development Planning (Kementerian PPN/Bappenas) and supported by UNICEF. In Indonesia, there has been strong impact regarding the use of MAP approaches to create meaningful engagement within policy-influencing structures. In MAP Nepal the project hosted four scoping visits and identified three partnering districts including Kanchanpur, Palpa, and Makawanpur. Scoping visits mapped local stakeholders and identified seven partner schools and existing indigenous arts-based practices including Deuda, Lok Dohori, and Tamang Selo song and dance cultural forms. MAP Nepal has partnered with 12 advocacy organisations, six arts-based organisations, seven child clubs, and local youth organisations. MAP Nepal drafted a MAP Safeguarding Policy that has been adapted by other MAP in-country teams. MAP Nepal produced 49 video clips including 13 artistic and creative products by child club members. Additionally, MAP Nepal served in an advisory capacity and contributed to the development of the local curriculum in the Palpa district. MAP Nepal was consulted on the draft of the National Child Rights Policy 2021 in June 2021. And partnered with 12 advocacy organisations. Youth researchers from seven child clubs identified themes and issues of concern through the small grant projects that included: gender discrimination, gender-based violence (including harmful traditional practices), caste discrimination (Dalits), child marriage, and human trafficking. Based on MAP Nepal's small grant projects, youth researchers developed different arts-based outputs to enter into dialogue with local stakeholders (e.g. video clips on caste and gender discrimination were screened to parents and members of the communities, CSOs, and representatives of the local government). The research team supported the setup of a radio studio at Janapriya Secondary School, (Divyasewa child club) in Makwanpur district in February 2022. The studio is providing children and youth the ability to develop video clips to address young people's issues of concern and to disseminate research. Additionally, MAP child club members and teachers have created capacity-building workshops to introduce others to video-making skills. MAP Nepal engaged over 3,794 research participants (1,877 male, 2,026 Female) among them 3,076 young people (1,405 male, 1,671 female) and 351 teachers (211 males, 140 female), 12 local government representatives (9 males,3 female) and 464 others (252 males, 212 female) directly with 136 engagement activities. In order to track and monitor the social impact across all four countries, a Social Impact Report was commissioned via the University of Northampton to evidence the impact across the youth-led small grant research projects and to maximise the learning from this initiative. The research built upon the Phase One report and identified that the MAP small grants programme ran with high efficacy from a delivery perspective, but also that it generated significant impact at the individual, organisational and societal levels. In total, 286 individuals participated in the qualitative data capture for the Small Grants Report. Primary findings for both the Phase One and Small Grants reports are detailed in the Impact Narrative section of this report. |
| Exploitation Route | MAP Network Plus will address the exclusion of children and youth from policy processes in order to develop tools of inclusion in formal spaces (curricula) and informal spaces (CSO practices) alongside monitoring and evaluating the effectiveness of arts-based methods to inform national curricula and youth policy. We designed pathways to impact from the grassroots up, beginning with the scoping visit to conduct meetings with important stakeholders relevant to the contexts of conflict and peacebuilding and to inform the design and co-production of the project. These stakeholders included children, youth, educators, heads of schools, religious leaders, cultural artists, officials from government ministries, such Education, Youth and/or Culture, academics and researchers, NGOs, CSOs, cultural organisations and other projects or organisations focused on peacebuilding initiatives serving marginalised children and youth. During the initial scoping visits, we acquired information about conflict issues and reviewed existing resources and initiatives on children, youth and peacebuilding, challenges to peace, and feedback concerning the needs and expectations of beneficiaries. We consulted with the Board of Education, UNESCO and relevant government bodies to identify needs, interests and possibilities for collaboration to generate pathways to impact on a national level. Additionally, cultural artists and organisations were invited to attend curriculum development workshops to focus on the adaptation of cultural forms for dialogic purposes. The scoping visits enabled the team to explore the political, social, and cultural contexts of each country alongside the sharing of similarities and differences between education and peacebuilding efforts in Kyrgyzstan, Rwanda, Indonesia, and Nepal. Based on our initial findings we developed and refined our model of co-production, the shared ethics and values underpinning our project, our approaches to communication and overall theory of change. MAP Network Plus connected to key government institutions and policy-making bodies (Ministries of Education, Youth, Sports and Culture, UNESCO) to enhance knowledge and understanding of conflict issues and to contribute to widening child and youth access to and participation in policy processes related to the SDGs. Due to the strong and established links developed during Phase One, an outcome of this funding will be to take forward an effective arts-based model for Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning (MEL) that incorporates considerations of local and national approaches to peacebuilding to provide evidence of 'what works' in engaging children and youth in policy-making bodies and to explore varied channels of communication and dissemination to engage children, youth and policy-makers in dialogue from a local to national level. This has inform the Phase Two funding calls for Small Grant, Medium Grant, and Large Grant projects. |

| Description | The MAP project has reached a significant number of young people across the four countries involved in this programme, as well as numerous adults, communities and policy-makers. The quantitative and qualitative data gathered demonstrates the significant impact and reach of MAP at both the individual and community levels, as well as in the realm of influencing policy. Feedback from the programme based on a Social Impact Report (SIR) conducted by Professor Richard Hazenberg from the University of Northampton was overwhelmingly positive, with only limited suggestions for improvements generally centred on the need to broaden the target audience and deepen the journey for participants. Data collection for the SIR included 213 surveys and 57 interviews. The fact that such a positive evaluation was made even by stakeholders including policy-makers, not traditionally the easiest group to access and influence, demonstrates the impact that peacebuilding activities utilising the arts can have on communities. The data reveals that MAP has positive impacts on collective efficacy as part of community cohesion, enhanced dialogue between young people and different stakeholder groups (and especially senior staff in schools), and a very strong impact on participant wellbeing having engaged in the programme. Indeed, the data shows that MAP seems to have a particularly strong impact on participants between months 3-6, with impacts beyond this timeframe showing diminishing returns. Conceptions of peace and peacebuilding amongst the groups in the four countries were very much centred on ideas of trust, harmony, people, understanding and friendship. The participants did note significant social problems across their countries, with inequality, class/caste-based discrimination, communal misunderstandings, gender-based violence, and a lack of trust being pervasive issues across the countries. The interview data also revealed that MAP had a positive impact on young people with regards to their confidence and communication skills, whilst the young people themselves generally reported a positive experience with both the offline and online engagement in MAP. Positive teambuilding experiences and the opportunity to discuss and reduce trauma through the arts-based methods were also identified. A wide variety of arts-based methods were utilised, including theatre, dance, photographs, film, animations/comics, singing, presentation/discussion groups and posters; whilst the use of social media to promote outputs was also seen as a key element in spreading the message of peace and peacebuilding. MAP also demonstrated significant impacts at community and governmental levels, with the creation of youth groups, tens of thousands of people engaged, and influences on policy (including the implementation of forum theatre groups in the Kyrgyz government's new youth policy for 2020-2025. Overall then, it can be considered that MAP Phase One was a significant success, that has laid the groundwork for future impacts in Phase Two (Small Grants, Medium Grants and Large Grants) streams to run between now and 2024. However, further data capture and analysis will help to tease out greater nuances in the impact generated through the programme. Findings have been used to inform local level policy (local curriculum in Nepal); decision-making about community issues (local decision-making forums and national parliament in Kyrgyzstan); education curriculum (establishment of Continuing Professional Development programme with University of Rwanda in partnership with the Rwanda Education Board in Rwanda); and representation of young people in decision-making processes (youth structures in Indonesia). MAP has been used to inform the 'Mental Health in Schools' programme and the training of mental health professionals in Rwanda. Also, to inform the National Child Rights Policy in Nepal. Following from the Social Impact Report (SIR) from Phase One, there was a second SIR conducted by the University of Northampton at the end of the youth-led Small Grant projects (2022) to track impact. The research utilised a qualitative approach utilising secondary data analysis, as well as analysis of qualitative data gathered within the project (including the arts-based practices). Interviews and focus groups were held with a wide variety of stakeholders, including young people, teachers, youth facilitators, artists, government officials, policy-makers and Third Sector Organisations (TSOs)/NGOs. The in-country research teams collated the data in the form of case-study narratives and programme output data, and passed these to the University of Northampton who adopted a narrative analysis process to the data gathered. In total, 286 individuals participated in the qualitative data capture. The research has identified that the MAP youth-led small grants programme ran with high efficacy from a delivery perspective, but also that it generated significant impact at the individual, organisational and societal levels. The findings are summarised here into five core areas. 1. Young people: The impact on the young people who led the delivery of these small grants was significant, both in terms of skills and softer outcomes such as wellbeing. 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 (often very traumatic) 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 small grants work also brought benefits to teacher and schools, through the upskilling of teachers, enhanced learning materials and the building of networks. 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 small grants acted like community education programmes, but with innovative, easy-to understand and communicative 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. Exploring this area more is a focus of the Large Grant evaluation work been undertaken during Phase Two. 3. Community: As was noted above, the small grants 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, in much the same way as was evidenced in the Phase One report. 4. Youth co-produced policy impact: There was a significant focus within the small grants work on 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 (see this MAP Blog for more information). 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.

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. Expected results At the end of the workshop, it was expected that: • The 12 MAP lesson plans corresponding to 12 MAP units are completed. • The program proposal, program structure and program specifications for the CPD in teaching and learning using music, dance and drama are developed and available in the format required by UR-CE. • Module descriptions are produced and edited. 4. Dates and participants The five-day workshop took place from October 4 to October 8, 2021. A complete list of all participants who attended the workshop is provided in Table 1. Table 1.

We completed the development of 13 lesson plans corresponding to 13 MAP Units. These units are: trustbuilding, teamwork, active listening, improvisation/creativity, image theatre, characterization, conflict analysis, dialogue, problem solving, leadership, adaptation, innovation, and research skills. 2. After intense discussions, we adopted the name of the program as follows: Continuous Professional Development (CPD) Certificate in teaching and learning using music dance and drama. 3. Also, key documents to the program were produced. These include Program Proposal, and Program Specifications. The core parts of these forms were dully completed and the uncompleted sections will be finalized drawing on module descriptions. 4. We structured the program alongside two modules: MDD1141 Teaching and Learning using music and dance; and MDD 1142 Drama based teaching and learning. We produced module descritpions for the two modules. The two groups had the opportunity to present their work and receive feedback from colleagues. The two modules were reviwed based on comments. Final copies were submitted to the Principal Investigator. 5. Way forward. In the near future we intend to organize the following activities: a. Completing the program proposal and program specifications; b. Producing model lesson plans in (i) teaching and learning using music and dance for maths, sciences, social sciences and languages; (ii) drama-based teaching and learning of maths, sciences, social sciences and languages. c. Producing the teacher guider as to how music and dance, and drama can be used to teach the different subjects mainly maths, sciences, social sciences and languages. d. Piloting the CPD in five schools of Kicukiro district. Prepared by Dr. Sylvestre Nzahabwanayo (PhD); October 11, 2021 Principal Investigator |

| 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. |

| 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. |

The first part focusses on emerging thoughts, reflections, and questions of workshop participants after 6 Psychological First Aid (PFA) Training sessions. These represent the first block of the overall PFA training (16 sessions in total). The first part of the Reflection Book offers each participant to document their daily journey (from the perspective of a youth facilitator and a colleague at work). The first part is meant to be filled out by each participant before the second part of the PFA training - the Training of the Trainers (TOT). Part Two serves for the TOT. It is divided into 5 sections. Each section contains reflective questions and reading materials from the MAP Manual and web search on the following topics: A. Mobile Arts for Peace (MAP) and Drama for Conflict Transformation B. Facilitation Skills C. Drama Theatre Techniques for Conflict Transformation D. Online Facilitation Techniques E. Follow-up Plan for Facilitation Skills Training The Reflective Book was developed by MAP Indonesia (staff of Atma Jaya Catholic University of Indonesia - AJCUI) between the 1 and 17 March 2021. |

| Impact | 21 participants filled out the Reflective Book and shared some of their writings verbally during the TOT sessions (Part-2 of the Psychological First Aid Training). Some of the reflections shared include the learning experience on how to apply 6 steps of Psychological First Aid as a youth facilitator (from listening to referral), as well as the acquired knowledge on new theatrical skills and participatory activities that can be used with young people. The Reflective Book has become a useful tool for MAP Indonesia - it helped the team to identify potential participants for MAP's case studies (stories of change). Stories of change form part of MAP's monitoring, evaluation, and learning measures. |

The adult trainer Josiane Mukabugingo from RTC stated, 'Nowadays after being trained by MAP, I am very active in comparison to before. I can manage my class by using warm ups and energisers to avoid the students being bored. I became open and flexible. I learned how to be honest; helping and assisting others. Now, the students are involved with my teaching. Now, I am always finding ways to bring MAP into the curriculum to motivate the learners. There has been a very big change in the learners and teachers are more open. They feel free and confident. They are now able to solve problems amongst themselves. One of the most significant changes is the ability to problem solve. MAP is important to society. It helps students to know how to solve problems. Now students feel unique; they have the main purpose of peace building. I would like MAP to spread even to the government authorities. Additionally, there are those students who don't attend school. They could be trained in MAP in order to build a strong society.' |

The sarangi belongs to the Gandharva caste group in Nepal. This instrument was traditionally used as a storytelling instrument. It is a four-string instrument. The structure of a Sarangi is very interesting; it has got no fret boards or fingering frets- notes are changed by putting fingers in-between the strings and shortening the length of vibrations (Kutumba Website, 2020). It has no joints and traditionally the body is carved out of a single block of a special kind of wood called Khhira , but is often replaced these days by Saaj wood. A wooden key is used to tune the strings and a small piece of wooden block is used as a bridge on top of the skin piece. The traditional horsetail bow is often replaced by a nylon bow now. |

The piece considered elements of MAP's main objectives (peacebuilding with and for youth through the arts). MAP Indonesia worked on the subtitles of the film before it went viral via YouTube. |
| Collaborator Contribution | Padepokan Ciliwung Condet (community-based organization): Its members provided expertise on Lenong in terms of actors, techniques and ideas for a story. Kalamtara Film House: The staff provided filming expertise, (particularly with) young people as actors (2 male, 5 female). The company helped to transform Lenong into a virtual format. It also worked on the editing and publication of the finished film in YouTube. Both organizations worked together to develop the script, collaborated with young people informing the storyline, and supported the development of improvisations and the creation of their own dance performances. |
| Impact | The production had a positive impact on each group involved, the artists, filmmakers, and young people (actors). Due to the multi-disciplinary and intergenerational character of the project, individuals benefited from various discussions during the preparation and filming process. It became evident that the people involved started to change their perspectives or became interested in new areas, e.g. young people became interested in Lenong, artists had to think about Lenong as a virtual piece, and filmmakers became interested in the adaption of traditional art forms to online platforms. |

| Results and Impact | Dr Harla Octarra (MAP Co-I) and Vina Puspita (MAP PhD student) facilitated a three-hour online workshop (21 March 2022) that forms part of Changing the Story's (CTS) Skills Exchange series. The Skills Exchange (14 March to 11 April 2022) targets young participants involved in CTS' and MAP's projects. It seeks to expand their knowledge and skills to make use of various art forms that promote change. Harla and Vina facilitated the session 'Engaging Young People through Visual Art: Comic strip and Collage' that drew on materials that were developed with young people during MAP Phase 1 and 2. Harla and Vina focused on visual arts as a tool for dialogue. They talked about three activities to help young people advance their knowledge of visual arts and skills to create change. First, the use of a comic booklet that helped run a pre-test questionnaire with young people. Second, young people's development of a comic through a participatory research approach (this comic has been used as a research tool). Third, the development of digital collages for storytelling - young people developed collages to talk about themselves, their environment, and expectations. These collages serve to influence policy in MAP Phase 2. In the interactive part of the workshop, the young participants reflected on each art form (its ability to transmit messages, the feasibility for their projects, any advantages/ disadvantages). They also discussed their experiences (e.g. how young people were denied to express themselves in Colombia and South Africa) and shared their artworks (e.g. a collage made of dried skin of a banana tree trunk). Fourteen people attended the workshop (young people joined from Rwanda, South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Colombia). An interpreter supported the communication (Spanish-English). |

| Results and Impact | Social discrimination continues to exist in our society under numerous factors such as menstruation, class, and ethnicity. Members of the Janapriya Child Club (Shree Janapriya Secondary School, Palpa district) used dance, art competitions and a form of street drama named "Paschatap" as platforms to raise awareness. People of various ages were present in the program. A total of 32 artists were engaged in both video and group dance (13 females, 12 male). On 5 March 2022, a total of 100 people (64 females, 36 male) participated in drama and dance. This includes 78 people from local (50 females, 28male), 19 teachers (12 females, 7 male) and 3 from local government representative (2 females and a male). Reflection: "Social discrimination is one of the crucial issues in our society. Young person from Janapriya Secondary School, Palpa portrayal of the conventional thinking of our society through drama was excellent. In order to reduce such incidents in the society, it is necessary to raise awareness on this issue from the local level to the national level. The video addresses this need. It teaches us about how to care for female during menstruation". Raj Kumari BK, Ward Member, ward no-6, Tansen municipality Palpa- 4 March 2022 "Young people from Janapriya Secondary School successfully portrayed social superstitions on social classification/discrimination through drama. I believe that the messages that young people are trying to convey will surely change the society to some extent. Just because of our religion we shouldn't go along with these types of superstition. If we continue to support traditional harmful practices, our society will always fall behind. As a government representative, I am hesitant to enter in kitchen at home during menstruation, but after seeing this play, I recognized that this is also a form of social discrimination that we should not engage with, and I will now work to gradually eliminate it. I believed that improving myself and my family's thought towards menstruation was important. I am also the against of these traditional harmful practices so I promised that I would be always ready to support such type of programme".

| Primary Audience | Policymakers/politicians |
| Results and Impact | Data shows that most people are 20 years old or younger when they start taking drugs, so this is an issue that is of particular importance to young people. However, despite this significance for young people, there is a lack of youths, local government, community police, and parents against drug abuse, and young people are not involved in policy decisions relating to the use and control of drugs. Government documentation, including the Drugs Control Strategy 2010 and the National Policy for Drugs Control 2006, envisions a society that is healthy, prosperous, and free of drug abuse. However, the annual increase in drug users clearly shows that more needs to be done to tackle drug use, particularly among young people. Members of the Churiyamai Child Club at the Churiyamai Secondary School started their research with a number of meetings - with partners, community youth, youths involved in drug use, the school management committee, and a social worker - to identify and select an issue to focus on. They then used the problem tree - pictured here - to identify different causes and consequences of using drugs. From these discussions, they found a number of reasons, including the company of bad friends, lack of proper guidance by parents, entertainment, lack of counselling, and open borders. The team then created a video, in collaboration with community police of Hetauda Municipality ward no 15., to raise awareness of the issues. This video has helped to create a dialogue between youth and policymakers. Dialogue with policy makers: Art based dialogue between youth and policy makers helped policy makers to understand cause behind use of drug. Artistic product helped to make healthy communication between youth and policy makers. A dialogue was organized on 14 March 2022 where 93 (52 males 41 female) participated in the event. "This program is a good way to spread public awareness against the existing distortions in the society Since the message is also useful for the meticulous study of young people who are likely to fall into the trap of addiction, I will continue to support and cooperate with the club in the future" Police Officer, District police, Makwanpur) |

| Results and Impact | MAP Nepal organizeda three-day end of year sharing event youth camp at Pension Vasana Hotel Kathmandu on 27-29 April 2022. A total of 14 young people (7 boys, 7 girls), 8 teachers (2 females, 6 male) have participated in the workshop from MAP working schools and child club from Palpa, Kanchanpur and Makwanur. Day 1 and 2 (27 and 28 April 2022): In the first two days, young people worked together from all 7 child clubs. They shared their experiences and challenges. They also shared the process of their work during project implementation. They co-created different art forms such as dance, song, deuda (local form of dance/music), and drama to present during the main event of the youth camp. Day 3: Main event: The entire program was hosted by young people, and it started with a welcome song created by the young people and some focal teachers also joined the song. There was a visible bond established between teacher and students while singing a song created by young people themselves. This shows that art can also improve the relationship between students and teachers. For the guests, COIs Vishnu Bahadur Khatri and Rajiv Timalsina briefed the participants about what MAP is, its Function and working procedure, and the reason behind its establishment of MAP. Also explained its impact on schools and young people's studies. The event was enriched by music and dance reflecting the originality of their place were highlighted. They presented the Deuda song; an indigenous cultural dance from the Nepalese far west and all the guests participated when that song was performed. This participation shows the cultural respect prevailing in the Nepali community. In addition to this, Tamang Cello, a cultural form of music from Makwanpur, and Jhyaure from Palpa were also presented there. This evidences that young people are still influenced by their cultures and they have not deviated from their core cultural practices. Young people also portrayed their real story of gender discrimination through drama. Since drama is the other most effective art form, every participant enjoyed it and the message about long-rooted discrimination in society reached its target. Young continued the program by performing a number that they had been working on for 1 year such as drama, song, poem, and music. They also worked on pasting the chart paper of their work to illustrate its meaning to them. Art is not used only for entertainment but it also helps to keep the respect and love regarding cultural identity, which is the lesson they wanted to transmit with their performance. Participants: Altogether 40 participants actively participated in the event where 8 were female and 32 of them were male. They were from 7 different child club members including focal teachers, Local NGO, NGO federation, Child Right Council, Gurukul, National Youth council, CFN Nepal, Youth Development Center, National Action and Coordinating Group, National Network for Safe Migration, and our working partners Galli Galli, KarkhanaSamuha, Consortium Nepal. Reflections from Policy Makers: "Mobile Art for Peace is an informative program. I would like to thank the team for launching such an educative program. The program is innovative in that it helps to increase the knowledge of students. The program is to be considered a means of knowledge exchange. To bring such a concept to community schools, it is necessary to take initiation from the Government level. The work of the current advocacy will have to continue in collaboration with the Ministry of Education. I will share the report of this program in our network". Arjun Bhattarai, General Secretary, NGO Federation "Both the drama and the short movie were based on contemporary events. NCRC approach to keeping a record of different activities as an alternative model for the research study. It seems to be sustainable and skillful while taught through art. This program conveys the message to the students that society moves forward through embracing different professions and co-existence for the development of society. The main achievement from this program is the personal development of the students, development of the community and international linkage will be possible through this program". Bimala Gyawali, National Child Right Council "We see all ongoing activities around through drama, poem, and song. The model project is working to revive and promote extinct art forms and raise awareness of the shortcoming of our society, which are directly or indirectly connected with children that are represented through art and culture. There is a vivid example that teachers and other members of the school can use their own original art culture to teach and spread public awareness.

Kiran Thapa, National Action and Coordinating Group (NACG) "Sports, entertainment, art, and literature is a must to be a healthy and good citizen.

| Results and Impact | FTI ran a final assessment on the knowledge and skills of 142 (94 females; 48 boys) young researchers club members by the end of the MAP project in Kyrgyzstan in June 2021. The assessment was run along the developed spectrogram using a scale from 1 to 5 (bad - very good; strongly believe - don't believe). 1. How well do you know about the problems in your community and how they affect young people? 2. How well do you know how to conduct community research? 3. How well do you know which conflict-sensitive rules/ ethics should be followed when conducting research? 4. How well do you know how to analyse problems and find ways to solve them? 5. How well do you know the structures, people (decision-makers) responsible for solving problems in the community? 6. How comfortable do you feel when talking to adults about issues that affect you? 7. How comfortable do you feel when performing in front of a large audience? 8. Do you believe that art can help to solve community problems? 9. Do you think that art helps people understand each other? 10. Do you think that young people can make a difference in the community? 11. How much do you feel like a leader among your peers? During the exercise, the participants shared several stories of change. 'I have more self-confidence; it has become easier to set goals. I realized that it was not in vain that I was fond of dancing and music. I recently wanted to leave music school and focus on my studies due to my parents' misunderstanding. But after participating in the project, I realized that everyone has their talents, abilities, and desires. You can use art not only for the soul but also for solving problems in the community. It is a pity that our parents do not understand this, at least not yet.' (girl) 'At the beginning of the project, I thought that I would not reach the end. Since there was no telephone either, I had to ask my mother. I could not imagine that I would perform on stage and play the main role. Now I am proud of myself; I was able to reveal my talents. I always wanted to write poetry, but for the first time in my life, [I was] inspired, and I wrote a poem about our education. I am happy that the parents took part in our meeting and understood us; they were the ones who were crying. If we hold a competition at the local level, I will definitely play again in the forum-theatre.' (girl) |

| Results and Impact | Mobile Arts for Peace and Changing the Story held a three-day semi-blended event 'Arts-based Research for Education and Peacebuilding' (5 to 7 August 2020) in Kigali (Rwanda). On the 6 August 2020, MAP and Changing the Story held a half-day event with workshops for young people. One of the activities was the presentation of a short theatre piece followed by a group discussion with members of the audience. The group discussion was facilitated by MAP master trainers. This activity aimed at stimulating young people to reflect on the performance and the issues raised, as well as to come up with potential solutions to address the situation (ill-treatment of pupils with disabilities) at family, community and national level. To guide the discussion and to embed different observations on the root problems and ideas to prevent such scenarios (including conflict between parents and school members, and/or the community), young people were using a solution tree that was divided into different angles: the roots represented the root problem of the situation; the leaves indicated proposed solutions at family, community and national level; the branches represented organizations or other institutions that could help to address the situation, and the fruits showed the changes. Each group was asked to pick 1 or 2 presenters to explain their thought and recommendations to the broader group. The exercise demonstrated the critical thinking of young people and the ability to articulate their demands and suggestions for change. |

Other participants were adults, Principal Investigator/co-Investigator of MAP Large and Medium Grants. The conference allowed these young people to share about their experiences in MAP through arts based mediums such as drawings, illustrations, poetry and present them as a 'river-journey', including the challenges and impacts so far. This included showing the comic book they made, short film, music lyrics created, and a video showing their (and other participants) journey in the MAP project. There was also a session where the youth researchers told a story using an object and discussed future projects with the adult participants, as well as an online informing policy workshop with UNESCO. They also wrote down their hopes for future skills development and participated in a theatre and visual workshop. The conference provided an opportunity for young researchers from all of the four countries to share what they have been growing and building through MAP project for the past years and sharing them with each other. The workshop was facilitated by University of Lincoln, and supported by Atma Jaya Catholic University of Indonesia. After the conference, Haikel and Indri were notably more confident, as they themselves reported, and made friends with the other YAB members. In the conference they agreed to continue conversations in the Whatsapp group created by the University of Edinburgh. Haikel and Indri are creating VLog. |

| Results and Impact | Between the 12th, 13th and 15th of June 2021, MAP Indonesia organised three half-day talk shows and a discussion round as part of the MAP Marketplace. MAP Marketplace is a virtual space that seeks to connect MAP partner organisations and cultural artists in and around Jakarta. During these days, both organisations and artists had the opportunity 1) to get to know each other, 2) to learn about the work of others (e.g. strategies and tools of organisations working with youth), and 3) to spark interest in the nexus of the arts and peacebuilding. Each online talk show was split into a morning and an afternoon session. The last day (15th of June 2021) provided a space for discussions on potential collaborations ('Stepping into Collaborations'). The discussion started with a reflection of the previous talk shows on the first and second days. Participants (young people, youth facilitators) shared their thoughts and feelings (e.g.: Anyone can be a theatre performer because acting is an everyday thing. I was very happy to learn first-hand from the expertsget to know great cultural artists). Next, MAP Indonesia shared a short video clip on Forum Theatre to share an example of the use of theatre to create dialogue. The clip was developed by MAP colleagues in Kyrgyzstan (Foundation for Tolerance International). Then, young people of 3 CSOs (Children's Forum Budi Mulia, Children's Forum Cipinang Besar Utara, and Children's Forum Cipinang Besar Selatan) presented their identified issues through the 'Problem Tree'. Those captured lived and witnessed problems in their communities like the commercial sexual exploitation of youth/ adults, lack of support and mental abuse by parents. Each presentation revealed the causes and effects identified by young people (e.g. mental abuse or toxic environment at home due to increasing unemployment during the pandemic; growing levels of anxiety and fear of young people caused by brawls). During the last minutes of the exercises, young people asked the cultural artists to offer some guidance on using specific art forms to create awareness and change about the presented issues. problems The session closed with a presentation by MAP Co-Investigator Harla Octarra, who offered an outline of the research journey in Indonesia thus far and future activities. These include four thematic youth workshops that focus on one particular art form each. At the time of the presentation, young people had already requested a workshop on photo collage - any other topics still needed determined by young people, youth facilitators and the MAP Indonesia team. The team agreed to finalise the discussion by the end of June 2021. The session on day 3 was attended by 5 (3 male, 2 female) cultural artists, and 15 (10 male, 5 female) youth facilitators and 27 (8 male, 19 female) young people between the age of 14 and 19 from five (of 8 partners) CSOs working with youth in Indonesia. Principal Investigator Ananda Breed (UK) and MAP PhD student (Vina Puspita) attended the morning session for two hours via Zoom. MAP Indonesia provided simultaneous English interpretation for MAP team members from the UK. |

One MAP team member from Nepal (Pandav Khatri) and one MAP PhD student (Vina Puspita) attended the afternoon session. MAP Indonesia provided simultaneous English interpretation for MAP team members from Nepal and the UK. In the afternoon, cultural artist Adinda Luthvianti of 'Studio Hanafi' initiated the discussion with an analysis on the relevance of theatre-making (the background, environment, identifying a topic, audience, etc.). She also talked about ways to transmit specific messages to different social groups through theatre performances. During the Q and A, young people tried to get further information and guidance on theatre as a medium to create dialogue and change in the community. By the time of the MAP Marketplace, many had used the 'Problem Tree - exercise' to identify and analyse social problems in their community (e.g. brawls between neighbourhoods). However, most of them did not have many experiences in theatre and acting. To learn more about theatre and ways to develop a performance, both young people and youth facilitators took the opportunity to follow up with several questions (e.g. What type of skill and technique do you need to develop to become a theatre performer?). |

The workshop sought to introduce young people to songwriting and music-making as a tool to make their voices and concerns heard in society. At first, young people needed to become comfortable with music-making through warm-up exercises. Then they learned how to turn their identified problems into lyrics, find matching tunes for their lyrics, and record their piece. Young participants from each organisation discussed the problems in their communities that they had captured in different problem trees. They decided to write two songs about young people at risk of sexual violence. Then they discussed ways to turn the identified problem into song lyrics that transmit their message clearly to the public. Next, they chose the rhythm and tunes and practised the song by themselves and as a group before performing the songs live at the end of the workshop. The workshop was facilitated by two cultural artists from Yayasan Peduli Musik Anak Indonesia (YPMAI): Karina Adistiana and Ribut Cahyono. |

The workshops aimed to introduce young people to research proposal writing for MAP's Small Grant call and to support them in the development of a clear research plan that considers MAP's Small Grant guidelines. Young people learned to match their research ideas with the key objectives of the Small Grants-Call and to think through each stage of the research process. Moreover, they were reminded about the usefulness of the problem tree (i.e. thinking through the root causes, consequences, solutions), the journey of change, the need to incorporate arts-based methods in their proposal, and to be mindful about monitoring, evaluation, and learning. In addition, MAP Nepal taught them to develop a research timeline and propose a budget for their research proposal. To break the ice and keep young people engaged in the sessions, the MAP Nepal team incorporated games (e.g. brainstorming game) and kept the sessions quite interactive (e.g. icebreaker questions, discussion rounds, breakout groups). By the end of the workshops, MAP Nepal offered young people additional support during the writing process if needed (e.g. clarification of doubts). The workshops targeted the following child clubs and MAP partner schools: Bhusaldanda Child Club at Shree Bhushaldanda Secondary School, Jagriti Child Club at Mohankanya Secondary School, and Janapriya Child Club at Shree Janapriya Secondary School (Palpa district); Janajyoti Child Club at Shree Janajyoti Secondary School and Sachetana Child Club at Mahendranagar Secondary School (Kanchanpur district); Divyasewa Child Club at Janapriya Secondary School and Churiyamai Child Club at Churiyamai Secondary School (Makwanpur district). |

Reflection: "The drama was excellent. Youngsters from Mohankanya Secondary School have used drama to speak out against child marriage. It tries to portray the negative aspects of child marriage in a heartfelt way. This play has helped to raise awareness among the community, and I hope that they have become more aware. I promised that I will continue to support on such awareness program. I'd 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 success to portray the result of child marriage through drama. The drama was very impressive and touched my heart. In my opinion the primary reasons for child marriage, in my opinion, appear to be illiteracy, unemployment, and orthodox tradition, all of which contribute to a dark future. I'd like to express my gratitude to the young people who created such a message-based program. I respectfully request that such programs should be screen in other locations and schools. In the future days, you will always have the support of the ward office, as well as my own, in conducting out such activities".

| Results and Impact | MAP Indonesia held a 3-day online workshop via Zoom on digital collage art for storytelling on the 26th, 29th and 30th of July 2021. Each workshop day lasted 5 hours. The online sessions were attended by 44 people (32 female; 12 male), including 2 facilitators, 5 MAP Indonesia Team and research assistants, 2 social workers from Child Protection Agency (LPA) Jakarta, and 35 street-connected youth from Jakarta (between 13-21 years) who are affiliated with 7 non-profit organisations (Yayasan Bina Matahari Bangsa (YBMB), Wahana Visi Indonesia (WVI), Red Nose Foundation (RNF), Child Forum/ Forum Anak (FA) Budi Mulia, FA Cibesut, FA Cibesel, and Yayasan Bandungwangi). Vina Puspita (MAP PhD student) and Nilla S.D. Iustitiani (MAP Indonesia Team) facilitated the sessions. The storytelling collage workshop (also called "Kolase Bercerita") sought to introduce collage art for creative and imaginative storytelling. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, participants developed their collage art online with the help of the app 'PicsArt' on participants' mobile phones. Both facilitators and youth requested to run the workshop via mobile phones to enable everyone's attendance. Before the workshop, facilitators provided tutorial videos to introduce PicsArt to youths. Additionally, participants had to fulfil small tasks to practice in between the workshop days. On the first day, participants discussed artworks from their previous workshop on photovoice, followed by the introduction to collage art, PicsArt app, and a short exercise using PicsArt on their mobile phones. On the second day, the sessions focused on the use of collage art for storytelling and advocacy. All participants created their collage based on the issue that he/she or their community would like to raise. Towards the end of the day, they shared their stories/ topics. On the last day, participants discussed possible ways to collaborate in the future - they suggested working together on three main issues of concern to most (a story 'about me', 'about my surrounding/ environment', and 'about my hope'). Following the selection of stories and the set-up of 3 working groups, the participants were sent into 3 breakout groups to continue their discussions on the chosen story. Towards the end of the workshop, youths discussed potential ways to present their collage work. They decided to publish the art collages via Instagram and a virtual exhibition. According to the evaluation survey, most participants liked the PicsArt app to create collage art. While some had already used it before to edit their photos, the majority was excited about the possibility to develop collages for social messages and wanted to learn/ practice more. They also said that using collage art has enabled them to talk about their feelings, including sensitive topics, that are usually not shared openly with others. The workshop also enabled them to get to know youth from other organisations and share ideas on creating collage artworks. Following the completion of the workshop, 30 out of 35 participants have submitted their individual/ collaborative artworks. They will be posted on 'Kolase Bercerita' Instagram account. Beyond that, they will become part of an online exhibition the facilitators are currently developing in consultation with the participants. Furthermore, MAP Indonesia - with the support of the Child Protection Agency (LPA) - will facilitate the presentation of artistic products to local policymakers and child protection activists in Jakarta over the next months. |

| Results and Impact | Social discrimination continues to exist in our society under numerous factors such as menstruation, class, and ethnicity. Members of the Janapriya Child Club (Shree Janapriya Secondary School, Palpa district) used dance, art competitions and a form of street drama named "Paschatap" as platforms to raise awareness. People of various ages were present in the program. A total of 32 artists were engaged in both video and group dance (13 females, 12 male). On 3 March 2022, Child Club performed street drama and group dance, where 90 local people (77 female, 13male) participated at Bartung Chauraha, Devkota Chowk and Jaishi Chaupari Reflection: "Social discrimination is one of the crucial issues in our society. Young person from Janapriya Secondary School, Palpa portrayal of the conventional thinking of our society through drama was excellent. In order to reduce such incidents in the society, it is necessary to raise awareness on this issue from the local level to the national level. The video addresses this need. It teaches us about how to care for female during menstruation". Raj Kumari BK, Ward Member, ward no-6, Tansen municipality Palpa- 4 March 2022 "Young people from Janapriya Secondary School successfully portrayed social superstitions on social classification/discrimination through drama. I believe that the messages that young people are trying to convey will surely change the society to some extent. Just because of our religion we shouldn't go along with these types of superstition. If we continue to support traditional harmful practices, our society will always fall behind. As a government representative, I am hesitant to enter in kitchen at home during menstruation, but after seeing this play, I recognized that this is also a form of social discrimination that we should not engage with, and I will now work to gradually eliminate it. I believed that improving myself and my family's thought towards menstruation was important. I am also the against of these traditional harmful practices so I promised that I would be always ready to support such type of programme".

On 11 March 2022, Art competition was conducted in the school periphery to raise awareness on the social discrimination. Online newspaper www.bhairabkhabar.com and local radio station Radio Madanpokhara FM, 106.9MHz, on 3 March 2022 at palpa district published and broadcast about street drama on socal discrimination organized by Janapriya Secondary School (Palpa district): Reflection: "Social discrimination is one of the crucial issues in our society. Youth from Janapriya Secondary School, Palpa raise that issue and trying to portray the conventional thinking of our society through drama was excellent. In order to reduce such incidents in the society, it is necessary to raise this issue from the local level to the national level. It seems that this video has been fulfilling the necessity. This video teaches us about how to care for female during menstruation". Raj Kumari BK, ward member, ward no-6, Tansen municipality Palpa- 4 March 2022 "Young people from Janapriya Secondary School are success to portray the superstition of society through drama. I believe that the messages that youngsters are trying to convey will surely change the society to some extent. Just because of our religion we shouldn't go along with these types of superstition. If we continue to support traditional harmful practices, our society will always fall behind. As a government representative, I am hesitant to enter in kitchen at home during menstruation, but after seeing this play, I recognized that this is also a form of social discrimination that we should not engage in, and I will now work to gradually eliminate it. I believed that improving myself and my family's thought towards the menstruation was more important than improving society.I am also the against of these traditional harmful practices so I promised that I would be always ready to support such type of program".

| Results and Impact | Human trafficking for sexual exploitation in Nepal is growing due to extreme poverty, illiteracy, unemployment, poor law enforcement, and the lack of awareness on risks of human trafficking. It mainly affects girls and young women who are forced to 'work' in cabin/dance restaurants, massage, parlours and other places within the tourism sector. Earthquake at 2072 B.S has increased the risk for females to be trafficked in Nepal. Some of the members of the society still want to live in traditional way; uses of modern education way for awareness may not suit them. Therefore, Janajyoti Child Club members from Janjyoti Secondary School (Kanchanpur district) decided to address the growing issue of concern by developing a video and Deuda. Deuda is local indigenous cultural song and dance form at Far Western Region so, that it will be easy to convince to the local people about the risk factor of human trafficking. Beside all these, the art forms chose by the youths are the most effective to communicate and spread awareness on the risk of human trafficking with community people as well as government agencies. The total numbers of artists in the video are 30 (female18 & male 12) and in Deuda 32 (female 22 & male 10). The videos were screening in the school, Shree Janjyoti Secondary School at 25 Feb 2022. Among 68 people (38 female & 31 male) including chief guest Dodhara Chandani Municipality Deputy Mayor Chini Giri, 1 female member, Mathura Kunwar from Maiti Nepal (Maiti Nepal is the NGO that work against human trafficking, especially girls trafficking), 1 female from local government representative, 1 male (journalist), 4 police officers (1 female & 3 male), 41 students (29 females, 12 male),12 teachers (2 females, 10 male), 9 community people (4 female & 5 male). In this video, it is demonstrated that poverty, trusting strangers, and being unaware about the risk of human trafficking are the main reason of human trafficking. This video might be helpful in raising awareness to reduce such activity in the society. |
