Attlee | uniformnovember

Uniform November is a consultancy that aims to communicate, collaborate, and create responses to challenges within the humanitarian sector. We use our expertise and experience to guide humanitarian actors as they endeavour to support communities suffering from the upheavals created by conflict and climate change.

UNIFORM NOVEMBER is a professional practice and weblog based in Scotland. The practice is developed to offer, place and peacebuilding expertise.

We have 30 years of experience and have created a strategic approach to peacebuilding which frequently involves the adaptation and re-use of sites imbued with cultural/social significance. We offer a sophisticated and sensitive approach which acts as a catalyst for socioeconomic recovery, stability and resilience during the precarious aftermath of war and civil strife.

Our interdisciplinary approach encourages, social cohesion, builds trust, safeguards cultural heritage, and acknowledges the fluid nature of the 'everyday'. An approach that recognises the vital role that place, culture and memory play before, during and after conflict.

The practice has developed, a large client and partner network, our blog has a healthy and friendly readership, our research contributes to the knowledge base that helps inform professionals in the international peacebuilding and humanitarian sectors.

““whatever is true for space and time, this much is true for place: we are immersed in it and could not do without it. To be at all - to exist in any way – is to be somewhere, and to be somewhere is to be in some kind of place”.
