The aim The IPOW Anniversary Initiative is to develop and support new and emerging artists from sites of conflict, crisis and post conflict by nurturing their creative talent, enhancing creative enterprise skills and showcasing their work on an international platform. The project features alternative creative workshops for marginalised artists, a mentoring network for creative entrepreneurs and the dissemination of these artistic projects to the general public via The Guardian and Taschen publishing. The IPOW Anniversary Initiative emerged from 10 years of research visits, observations and interactions with creative communities in sites of conflict, post conflict or communities in social, political or economic crisis. IPOW's research revealed that creativity served as a powerful tool in times of social and political upheaval. Art can provide a means of resisting violence, preventing conflict, healing individuals and communities and enabling communities to re appropriate space consumed by war. However, whilst creativity is utilised to address social, psychological and cultural needs, artists often lack the skills or outlets to exploit the economic value of their talents. Furthermore, communities affected by conflict or crisis did not have access to the necessary educational tools to develop their creative projects or to connect to audience. In its most recent phase (2013-2014) In Place of War had attempted to address this skills gap by delivering informal creative entrepreneurial workshops on the ground to marginalised communities. However, it was apparent that informal workshops over a short period of time had little impact in developing skills or enhancing exposure. To this end, In Place of War has created structured knowledge exchange workshop certified by the University of Manchester. The Creative Entrepreneur Workshop (CEW) is structured over nine weeks and draws upon creative practice identified through IPOW's research. All this material would not have been available without the extensive research and practitioner networks developed through AHRC support. In addition to this, artists have the opportunity to develop a creative business proposal which will presented at the end of the sessions. Industry experts will give feedback on creative proposals and artists will be allocated a mentor to support theml. Furthermore, the most viable project will be awarded a small seed fund to support the development of the project. In addition to this, IPOW will work with Tacshen Publishing to offer mentoring support for new and emerging visual artists on the CEW. The CEW and mentoring network will nurture a new generation of artists and practitioners from sites of conflict or extreme disadvantage by creating a research-informed, free at the point of use educational tools and professional support system. As part of this new stage of development, IPOW has developed a relationship with the Guardian to disseminate and engage with new public audiences. IPOW been invited to programme 6 events at the Guardian Space in London. This unique collaboration will provide an innovate public space to present new and emerging talent identified via the CEW, giving artists an international platform, thus expanding opportunities. This partnership will facilitate connections between artists and international audiences, increase avenues for dissemination, and generate public debates on the role of arts in society. Responding to the need to generate economic benefits and improve access to international audiences for marginalised artists, IPOW will also work with Taschen Publishing to publish a book on art in conflict zones. Artists featured in the book and will receive a percentage from book sales. The proposal aims to provide tools for creative entrepreneurship, support mechanisms for artistic development and new pathways for dissemination and engagement with international audience for artists from conflict and post conflict zones.

IPOW周年纪念倡议的目的是通过培养其创造力，增强创造性的企业技能并在国际平台上展示他们的作品，从而开发和支持来自冲突，危机和冲突后冲突场所的新的和新兴的艺术家。该项目为边缘化艺术家提供了替代创意研讨会，一个针对创意企业家的指导网络，以及通过《卫报》和《塔申（Taschen）出版》（Guardian and Taschen Publishing）向公众传播这些艺术项目。 IPOW周年纪念倡议来自10年的研究访问，观察和与创造性社区的冲突，冲突或社区中的社会，政治或经济危机的互动。伊普（Ipow）的研究表明，在社会和政治动荡时期，创造力是一种强大的工具。艺术可以提供抵制暴力，预防冲突，治愈个人和社区的手段，并使社区能够为战争所消耗的适当空间。但是，尽管创造力被用来满足社会，心理和文化需求，但艺术家通常缺乏利用其才华的经济价值的技能或渠道。此外，受冲突或危机影响的社区无法使用必要的教育工具来开发其创意项目或与受众建立联系。在其最近的阶段（2013-2014）中，战争试图通过向边缘化社区提供非正式的创意企业家研讨会来解决这一技能差距。但是，很明显，短时间内的非正式研讨会对发展技能或增强曝光率几乎没有影响。为此，战争代替了曼彻斯特大学认证的结构化知识交流研讨会。创意企业家研讨会（CEW）在九周内结构化，并借鉴了通过IPOW的研究确定的创造性实践。没有通过AHRC支持开发的广泛研究和从业人员网络，所有这些材料将无法获得。除此之外，艺术家还有机会制定一项创造性的业务建议，该建议将在会议结束时提出。行业专家将向创意提案提供反馈，艺术家将被分配为支持他们的导师。此外，最可行的项目将获得一个小型种子基金，以支持该项目的发展。除此之外，IPOW还将与Tacshen Publishing合作，为CEW上新兴和新兴的视觉艺术家提供指导支持。 CEW和指导网络将通过在使用教育工具和专业支持系统中创建一个知情的，免费的，免费的，免费的，免费的，免费的，自由的，从冲突或极端劣势来培养新一代艺术家和从业者。作为这一新发展阶段的一部分，Ipow与Guardian建立了关系，以传播并与新的公众受众互动。 Ipow被邀请参加伦敦的Guardian Space进行6个活动。这种独特的合作将提供一个创新的公共空间，以介绍通过CEW确定的新的和新兴的人才，从而为艺术家提供了一个国际平台，从而扩大了机会。这种伙伴关系将促进艺术家与国际观众之间的联系，增加传播途径，并就艺术在社会中的作用进行公开辩论。为了应对产生经济利益并改善边缘化艺术家的国际观众的需求的需求，Ipow还将与Taschen Publishing合作出版一本关于冲突地区艺术的书。这本书中的艺术家将获得书籍销售的百分比。该提案旨在为创造性企业家精神，艺术发展的支持机制提供工具，以及与冲突和后冲突地区的艺术家传播和与国际观众互动的新途径。
