Consolidation, Learning and Evaluation in Kenya and Rwanda. A critical review of Changing the Story Projects in Eastern Africa

This report shares on how formal and informal citizenship and peace education for teaching and learning with young people in the Changing the Story (CTS) East African region has been transformed by the infusion of Arts Based Methodologies.

This comes from analysis and evaluation of the findings from four CTS research projects:
1. Phase 1 Project - Mobile Arts for Peace Project (MAP) (Rwanda)
2. Phase 2 Early Career Researcher Project - Young peoples’ interpretations of civic national values (CNV)
(Kenya)
3. Phase 2 Early Career Researcher Project - Connective Memories (CM) (Rwanda)
4. Phase 2 Large Grant Project - Reanimating Contested Spaces (RCS) (Rwanda)
The fusing of project findings serves to advance knowledge and understanding on common themes of learning for peace education through arts-based methodologies, and what may be the future possibilities for the scalability, and sustainability of these projects across Eastern Africa.
