Themes and tags.

On each page on Insight on Conflict, we have added tags related to its content. Clicking on any tag will bring up a list of other pages that have been tagged in the same way – we hope this helps you discover organisations in different regions that are working on similar issues. On this page you’ll also find a list of all tags used on the whole site – we hope this helps with your exploration of the featured peacebuilding organisations.

A note on tagging

The peacebuilding organisations featured on Insight on Conflict are arranged primarily by conflict area. One debate that we had internally was over to also use some sort of ‘thematic’ way of listing the organisations, in the same way we have listed by conflict area. Ultimately however we eschewed such a structure because we felt that defining organisations as ‘Women’s groups’ or ‘human rights’ organisations was unhelpful and unrealistic; in fact, the organisations that we feature actually do not sit easily into a pre-determined list of themes, but are reacting to the specific conflict situations they face in varied ways. In this context, we felt using a pre-defined list of themes was unhelpful.

Nevertheless, we are aware that it is useful to draw connections between different groups who might be working in different fields. Therefore, on each page we have added ‘tags’, relating to the content featured. Rather than putting organisations into pre-set themes, tagging allows us to grow a list of keywords that reflect the reality of the peacebuilding work we feature. It is also a non-hierarchical system of organising information, so we hope to avoid defining organisations in rigid, unrealistic ways, whilst at the same time allowing users of the site other ways to explore and discover peacebuilders.
