Arts-based critical literacy approaches to working with migration in educational contexts (EMM223)
This module will address aesthetic critical literacy approaches to working with migration and intercultural encounters in educational contexts, including through picturebooks, graphic novels, art, and drama. It introduces migration literature from a range of global contexts and considers issues of diversity, positioning, voice, agency, and access within the selected texts, as well as their influence on teaching at the classroom level. In addition to exploring the potential of migration literature for developing students’ intercultural competence and critical literacy skills, the course will introduce various educational resources for promoting intercultural citizenship, including the Council of Europe’s Reference Framework of Competences for Democratic Culture (RFCDC) and the Autobiography of Intercultural Encounters (AIE).
