UNIFORM NOVEMBER

Welcome to Uniform November: Building Peace through Heritage Reuse and Memorialisation

​

At Uniform November, we believe in the transformative power of architecture, space, and place as essential tools for resilience, recovery, and peacebuilding in post-conflict environments. Based in Scotland, we are a humanitarian consultancy specializing in post-conflict reconstruction and peacebuilding initiatives.

Our work is deeply rooted in creating meaningful and lasting impact through innovative projects that support sustainable livelihoods, strengthen human capital, improve access to cultural heritage, and promote good governance. We prioritize safety, reduce the risk of future violence, and foster a renewed sense of place in communities recovering from conflict.

​

Our Expertise and Impact

​

Uniform November has a proven track record of delivering humanitarian projects with a focus on:

• Heritage Reuse: Revitalizing culturally significant spaces damaged by conflict to help communities reconnect with their heritage.

• Housing, Land, and Property (HLP) Solutions: Addressing critical challenges faced by displaced populations and supporting resettlement initiatives.

• Memorialisation and Trauma-Informed Practices: Understanding and integrating post-conflict memory and modes of memorialisation as part of recovery strategies.

We have collaborated with esteemed international organizations such as UNESCO, the British Council, ICCROM, UN-HABITAT, and the International Organisation for Migration (IOM). Our partnerships extend to grassroots community groups, military stakeholders, tribal leaders, and NGOs in regions like Iraq, Singapore and Indonesia.

Key Projects Include:

​

• Designing and developing an urban park for Mosul’s youth on a site previously occupied by ISIS, funded by The HALO Trust and UNMAS.

• Mapping sites of violence in Mosul and Tal Afar as part of IOM's MHPSS Unit

• Conducting HLP assessments for displaced communities in Iraq and Kurdistan to support IOM’s resettlement effort as part of IOM's Transition and Recovery Units

• Providing training to local and international IOM staff on post-conflict memory, place, and persecution.
