Work Package 2-Layered vulnerabilities amongst refugees and IDPs (Uganda)
Work Package 2 examines the intersection of climate mobility and social-economic vulnerabilities (SEVs) among refugees and IDPs, and how cities prepare for such influxes in Uganda
Some of the expected impact of Work Package 2 (WP2) includes detailed understanding of the specific layers of SEVs affecting refugees and IDPs and Identification of key factors contributing to these vulnerabilities. It will generate insights into the role of intercultural dynamics and collaboration in community resilience and identification of best practices for fostering inclusive communities. Through the implementation of the theatre methodology, it will lead to knowledge and enhanced understanding of the role of theatre methodologies in climate adaptation and hence to the development of effective theatre-based participatory methods. It will help in identifying of critical governance and policy gaps and make recommendations for policy improvements.Aims of Workpackage 2
Research Questions
Methods
Work Package 2 will adopt PAR (theatre performances) and stakeholder engagement approaches in multiple sites: Nakivale refugee settlement in Isingiro district, and IDPs cities in Bundibugyo & Ntoroko, Bududa, Amudat and Kasese districts. Implementation: We will engage with migrants and host communities to co-create original theatre performances through discussion, role-play, and improvisation of telling their own migration stories at a Migrant Art Hub in Kisenyi/kabalagala (Kampala district). It also incorporates Stakeholder Engagement Events (SEV)(workshops, meetings, focus groups, interviews) to explore and co-create local institutions and migrant support groups that can enhance resilience. This will be complemented by virtual ethnography.
