Get to know our network

Strengthening LMIC arts and cultural institutions/organisations to become a reference point for the identification and transformation of social conflict, including gender-based violence, coercion and injustice.

Ensuring equal participation of women and girls, including in leadership roles, in artistic and cultural work for peacebuilding, whilst attending to environmental justice.

Our Path


Original research with core partners

Partners in each LMIC geographical location will develop and test practice-led, arts-based methods to translate conflict transformation strategies into artistic and cultural work.

Commissioning of research to new partners

Based on the insights generated from Strand 1, CUSP and our partners will work collaboratively to develop a series of open questions and funding calls. All partners will work to disseminate funding calls and shortlist and assess applications, with external reviewers, to commission new projects with new partners.

Synthesis of insights and knowledge exchange / sharing

CUSP partners will work together to highlight the main themes that have emerged from Strands 1 and 2 to inform policy and practice in areas of conflict transformation. This will be done through arts and cultural work.
