Growing up Multilingual with Chinese Heritage

The project "Growing up Multilingual with Chinese Heritage" focused on capturing children's and young people's experiences at a global and local level. Working with seven young co-researchers who contributed to the project from research design through to dissemination, the global call encouraged children and young people all over the world to submit anything they chose to share about growing up multilingual with Chinese heritage, in whatever format they wanted, with essays, poetry, drawings, paintings, collages and films getting submitted. At local level, a series of focus groups explored the views of children and young people in Sheffield. For Festival of the Mind 2024, two film makers and nine young performers made the data accessible to the general public, via a performance and a series of films.
