MAP podcast – episode 5
3rd May 2024
Episode 5 focuses on MAP project in Indonesia and particularly on one of the MAP medium grant projects called ‘Beyond Tradition’ that places attention on to Lenong performances with young people as a dialogic tool for peacebuilding.
We hear from the project’s partners based at the Atma Jaya Catholic University of Indonesia: Dr Harla Octarra, MAP’s co-investigator, and Dr Nicholas Indra Nurpatria who leads the ‘Beyond Tradition’ project. The episode draws inspiration from their work and explores critical ethical issues related to youth participation in research.
