In addition, tl)c!.- also be proiTidcd the 'Fundamental Principles of the Tarim Network', which is a document that sets out the 8 values and principles of The Tarim Network including: Integrity, Open-mindedness, Respect, Innovation, Loyalty, Excellence, Positivity and Independence. This ensures that all trustees understand the values that The Tarim Network stands for and what is expected of everyone involved with The Tarim Network. ## **Objects** The relief of those in need of the Uyghur youth community around the world through the promotion of community events and provision of educational services focusing on Uyghur arts, culture and heritage. ## **Statutory Declaration on Public Benefit** The trustees declare that they have complied with their duty to have due regard to the guidance on public benefit published by the Charity Commission in exercising their powers or duties. ## **Executive Summary** The Tarim Network operates across the three pillars of Unite, Inspire and Advance. This year, we have further progressed the several projects that were launched last year. The below offers highlights of the previous year's activity. We aim to further these projects and develop entirely new concepts as the world continues to recover from the pandemic. Current projects include working to foster an online community linked by an interest and experience of Uyghur culture, as well as an online learning platform for the Uyghur language, caringly made possible by a global community of dedicated volunteers. ## **Activities, Achievements & Performance** As a relatively young charity that was established in 2019, we have continued to progress the achievements of last year. We aim to achieve our charitable objectives through projects championed across three pillars: Unite, Inspire and Advance. As the charitable objectives refer to supporting a global Uyghur youth community, and as particularly the lingering of the Covid-19 pandemic, our projects have operated digitally. As the charity develops and with more funding, we aim to provide more projects in person to further our charitable objectives. ## _Unite_ Projects under _Unite_ aim to promote unity and community-building between Uyghur youth around the world and the general public that have an interest in the Uyghur culture. This is important as the Uyghur diaspora is disjointed, and many young Uyghurs experience identity conflicts from not being able to relate to their Uyghur identity. In addition, there is a lack of accessibility for the general public to engage with and to learn about Uyghur culture. As part of _Unite,_ we have introduced Uyghurs and non-Uyghurs to each other across the network as part of the Hello Tarim project. This is facilitated by showcasing individuals' profiles through our social media, providing basic information and interests that can link members with each other. In this period, we have featured over 22 profiles. Due to the extended lockdown periods in many of our Network's locales, we initiated Tarim Connect. Over 100 people applied and were sorted into 5 group chats in which they could talk and get to know each other. This project was formally disbanded a year later as restrictions eased, although contacts continued to stay in touch. The Tarim Network collaborated with Good Faith Productions to present an evening with Rahima Mahmut, Abbas Kosimov, and the Silk Road Collective of Uyghur music and culture. This was held on November 27[th] , 2021 in London, UK. A video produced from this event garnered over 700 views on Y outube For the March '22 Noruz, we collected videos and images from our network to create a small video that brought together Uyghur traditions from around the world. ## _Inspire_ Projects under _Inspire_ aim to motivate and encourage Uyghur youth in need to develop their capabilities and succeed as individuals and members of society. It is important to showcase role models that are relatable for young Uyghurs, while highlighting and acknowledging the contribution of Uyghurs to society for the general public. The Tarim Talks podcast highlights the stories and journeys of prominent and up-an-coming Uyghurs to inspire and further connect the young Uyghur community. The podcast explores themes of identity, mentorship, life lessons and achievements. Interviews for this period include Google engineer Sherzat and print shop eiitrepreneur Subi In]Am.
