As part of a bigger program of policy and technical support to critical Concordis peacebuilding work in Abyei, Transformedia is providing a pilot mobile Migration Monitor using simple smartphones with solar chargers. Before the secession of South Sudan, the Abyei Area was commonly referred to as the 'litmus test' of peace in Sudan. If the agro-pastoralist Dinka Ngok and the Arab Misseriya herders could coexist in this area - and if their governments would let them - then anything was possible. [ 434 more words. ]

We are integrating virtual reality technology into our conflict transformation as well as our advocacy. The underlying idea is that by enabling policy makers and communities to 'meet' each other and experience alternative points of view, VR can help reduce 'moral distance', improve understanding, and enhance shared information. As a result, interest-based and humanitarian incentives for peacemaking are both increased. [ 470 more words. ]

Forum theatre grips 'spectactors' by the emotional wrist and engages them directly and profoundly. But can it really contribute to wider social and political change that is the aim of cumulative conflict transformation efforts? Or is forum theatre fatally limited by its reach, perhaps involving just 200 or 300 people at a time? Inspired by work such as the Reflecting on Peace Practice… [ 203 more words. ]

South Sudan Theatre Organization, supported by Transformedia, OSIEA and USAID, organised a World Theatre Day festival in Juba on March 27th 2015. The event included lectures on the role of theatre in reconciliation and on the history of South Sudanese theatre, followed by performances from a broad range of drama groups including SSTO, Orupaap and Emmaus. Many people argue that reconciliation necessitates at heart a change in identity. [ 255 more words. ]

In 2012, we noticed that the use of microSD memory cards to share information between rural persons was reaching a potentially critical level. Could it be considered a significant medium for social change communications and conflict resolution? People at tea places, in buses, markets and homes were all sharing audio and video recordings through microSD cards in phones. Common material included political speeches, news recordings of major events, recorded radio shows and pop music (android devices allow you to record radio with one click), football highlights and videos of local traditional music and dance.
