from Simon
Religion is important, but is not always the fundamental driver in conflicts. We need to think if religion is the object or the subject of discrimination.

1. Mapping of religious and faith-based actors in your context and the roles they play: who are they? what roles do they play: do they influence positively Transitional Justice processes and work toward preventing atrocity or do they play negative roles by fueling discrimination and violence?

2. If they play a positive role, which actions do they carry out to foster peaceful and inclusive societies (interreligious dialogue, advocacy efforts, education, inclusive and holistic approach to peacebuilding by integrated programming across different sectors like health, access to resources, etc) ?

3. As a Site of Conscience, do you engage/partner with local religious and faith-based actors in this work? If so, how? If not why not? What are the challenges and opportunities?

Tenzin Jinpa, Content Developer, Tibet Museum - India

# data[].attributes.body
Tenzin Jinpa, like most other third generation Tibetans in India, was born and raised in one of the refugee camps in Karnataka, south India. From museums, galleries to interactive festivals and heritage learning, he is a culture enthusiast interested in the documentation and preservation of the cultural practices, especially Tibetan. With a background in History and Museum studies, his responsibilities at the museum include conservation, documentation, and proper storage of the collections at the Tibet Museum in Dharamshala. He earned his master's in medieval history from Jawaharlal Nehru University and did his second master’s in museology from the National Museum Institute, New Delhi. Knowing the endangered situation of the traditional Tibetan customs and practices, Tenzin chose to dedicate his career for the preservation of Tangible as well as Intangible Tibetan heritages. Especially with the growing number of mis-interpretations and false representations of Tibetan art, history and culture, he continues to challenge the grand narratives propagated by propaganda tools of the People's Republic of China. He enjoys reading and recording oral histories.

# data[].attributes.body
Simon Robins is a humanitarian practitioner and researcher with an interest in humanitarian protection, human rights and transitional justice. He combines academic research with a consulting practice focusing on policy and programme support to international agencies, including the UN and NGOs, with an emphasis on states emerging from conflict and violence. He is a Senior Research Fellow at the Centre for Applied Human Rights at the University of York. His consulting work has sought to provide policy and programmatic support to a range of humanitarian and human rights related programming, including extensive engagement with monitoring and evaluation, and in particular of protection and rule of law interventions. His academic work is driven by a desire to put the needs of victims of conflict at the heart of efforts to address its legacies, and this has led to an engagement with victim-centred and therapeutic approaches to histories of violence, taking a critical approach to transitional justice with a focus on emancipatory approaches driven by victims and participatory approaches that see knowledge production and activism as inseparable.
