The Creating Safer Space network is pleased to launch the UCP Research Database.

This is a user-friendly way of finding the latest research on Unarmed Civilian Protection (UCP), community self-protection and related topics. It contains information on academic research publications, working papers and NGO documents, which you can easily search using keywords or browsing specific regions and countries. Users can also contribute to the database by uploading information not yet featuring in it.

Last spring, the Creating Safer Space teams at Strathmore University in Kenya and Chulalongkorn University in Thailand organised a series of training workshops on research methods.

These covered both standard research skills, such as academic writing skills, as well as innovative research methods, such as arts-based, creative, participatory and digital research methods. 

Videos of the workshops are now available online on our YouTube channel:
