Advocating for progressive peacebuilding curricula through bicycling and human-centred ‘policy in action’ workshops…
In Nepal, MAP is
- enhancing dialogue between young people and policy through photographic documentation of bicycle journeys to improve the wellbeing of women and girls, and
- Facilitating intergenerational dialogue through a co-created participatory arts-based community curriculum.
Our two projects are “Picturing the Past, Present & Future” led by Dr Marlon Lee Moncrieff (PI) from the University of Brighton, and “Inter-generational Dialogue” led by Mr Sakar Pudasaini (PI) the Founder of Karkhana Samuha. They are both concerned with everyday peacebuilding processes that seek to address curriculum development through unconventional means.
