Phase 1: Planning, Identifying Interviewees and Story Gathering (August – December 2023)
Inception and Planning Workshop
The project will commence with a Musawah organised 2-3-days in-person workshop bringing together all (teams of) artivist researchers contracted to represent all five project countries, the project team, WCW partners’ representatives, and an external facilitator to collectively:
familiarise with the purpose, people and processes of this project;
• finalise the multimedia product type for each country and project framework for gathering stories and the research methodology based on lessons learned from the Musawah Global Life Stories project;
• develop a story structure and clear calls to action as guidance for identifying, gathering and documenting stories to be produced and published;
• provide artivist research teams from each country with an opportunity to present their preliminary plans for the project, ideas for generating impact and discuss anticipated challenges together with mitigation plans; and
• provide preliminary feedback and suggestions of artivism concepts from each research team.
• determine local languages to be added to the captioning and subtitles for the multimedia products

Fieldwork: Identifying interviewees and Gathering Stories
Fieldwork commences with regular progress check-in meetings with Musawah’s project team. In this phase, the artivist researcher contracted from Ethiopia, Sudan, South Sudan, Somalia and Somaliland, and Uganda will be expected to deliver the following:
• Within 10 days from the inception workshop – develop the end to end project timeline outlining fieldwork, reporting, analysing, production, Musawah review, finalisation of the 3 deliverables; .
• Identify and gather at least four (4) stories from interviewees
• Attend virtual project check-in and follow-up calls organised by Musawah.

Phase 2: Production and publishing of the stories
• After successful completion of phase one, the second phase – estimated to be carried out in a period of six months between May 2024 to October 2024 – will involve translating the report and stories gathered into one selected multi-media output into the following forms: a short film – documentary style/fictional; a play (radio, theatre or in person), supplemented by a visual and/textual product (such as illustrations, newspaper leaflets and creative pieces, etc). These will be focused on the journeys of the resource persons (interviewees) and (Muslim) women’s movements pushing for reform and women’s rights in their communities. During this phase, Musawah, in consultation with contracted artivists, will develop a media dissemination plan for each country, to be implemented at the end of the project.
