A Moving Story from Dhaka to London: Revealing Vibrant Identities in Young People's Intercultural Encounters with Mobile Art, Embroidery and Artefacts
Macleroy, Vicky; Shamsad, Shabita
Language and Intercultural Communication, v20 n5 p482-496 2020
This article presents three Bengali-English digital stories as vignettes and analyses young people's intercultural encounters as a moving story between Dhaka and London. The research case study is part of an international project, Critical Connections: Multilingual Digital Storytelling (2012-present), which links language and intercultural learning with literacy, active citizenship and the arts. Researching and writing together, the lead Bengali teacher and co-director of the project interrogate how young people open up spaces for Sylheti, Bengali and English through intercultural encounters and the making of their digital stories. The study centres on an after-school Bengali club in a mainstream school.
