DEPA - Algeria - Tamanrasset Province, Algeria

The research in Tamanrasset fit into DEPA’s broader aims by showcasing how indigenous cultural practices can serve as alternative educational tools for fostering peace and inclusivity. The Tuareg’s use of <i>Imzad</i> music, poetry, and storytelling enriched the project’s efforts to document diverse knowledge systems and emphasised the importance of preserving endangered oral traditions in Algeria as part of a decolonised educational framework.<br>The data reveals the central role of poetry, <i>Imzad</i> music, and oral storytelling in Tuareg culture as powerful mediums for conflict resolution and educating for peace in informal educational contexts, fostering collective reflection, and instilling values of cooperation and respect. The <i>Imzad</i>, for example, played exclusively by women, is seen as a symbol of peace and communal identity. The participants highlighted its role in calming tensions during traditional gatherings and promoting dialogue. The study also emphasises concerns over the loss of these traditions as younger generations increasingly disconnect from them due to modernisation.

DEPA was a 4-year project funded by the Arts and Humanities Council (AHRC) addressing the question: What are the different knowledges and values underpinning peace and how can these practices be connected and compared across countries to create curriculum content and mode of delivery in informal and formal settings, Secondary and Higher Education (HE), in order to decolonise peace education?<br>塔曼拉塞特（Tamanrasset）的相关研究契合了DEPA的整体目标，展示了本土文化实践可作为替代性教育工具，助力和平与包容理念的培育。图阿雷格（Tuareg）对伊姆扎德（Imzad）音乐、诗歌与口述叙事的运用，丰富了该项目对多元知识体系的记录工作，并强调了作为去殖民化教育框架组成部分的阿尔及利亚濒危口述传统的保护重要性。 该数据集揭示了诗歌、伊姆扎德音乐与口述叙事在图阿雷格文化中的核心地位：它们是非正规教育场景中冲突化解与和平教育的有力媒介，能够推动集体反思，并传递合作与尊重的价值观。例如，仅由女性演奏的伊姆扎德乐器，被视为和平与社群身份的象征。参与研究的人员强调了其在传统集会中缓和紧张局势、促进对话的作用。研究同时指出，随着现代化进程推进，年轻一代逐渐脱离这些传统，相关文化遗产正濒临失传，这引发了学界的担忧。 本文件夹包含： · 11份转录文本（Transcripts） · 8段视频（Videos） · 9张图像（Images） 阿尔及利亚项目是DEPA（Decolonising Education for Peace in Africa）项目第二阶段的委托研究项目。DEPA是一项由艺术与人文研究委员会（Arts and Humanities Council, AHRC）资助的四年期项目，旨在解答如下问题：支撑和平的各类知识与价值观分别是什么？如何在各国间对这些实践进行关联与比较，以开发适用于中等教育、高等教育（HE）及非正规与正规教育场景的课程内容与授课模式，从而实现和平教育的去殖民化？
