Dr Dounia Mahlouly awarded £75,000 research grant
Dr. Dounia Mahlouly, SOAS Centre for Global Media and Communications, has been awarded £75,000 to lead a new six-month research project, investigating British Council’s ‘Strengthening Resilience’ communication activities. The project, on which Dr. Dina Matar will act as advisor, will provide analysis of the experience of British Council’s Strengthening Resilience (SR) programme in promoting youth empowerment and state-civil society relations through media-based capacity building. It will explore the potential, limitations and challenges of British Council’s communication activities in Tunisia and Lebanon and analyse how SR campaigns are received in a broader range of MENA countries.
