Learning Cultural Literacy through Creative Practices in Schools
This open access book discusses how cultural literacy can be taught and learned through creative practices. It approaches cultural literacy as a dialogic social process based on learning and gaining knowledge through emphatic, tolerant, and inclusive interaction. The book focuses on meaning-making in children and young people’s visual and multimodal artefacts created by students aged 5–15 as an outcome of the Cultural Literacy Learning Programme implemented in schools in Cyprus, Germany, Israel, Lithuania, Spain, Portugal, and the UK. The lessons in the program address different social and cultural themes, ranging from one’s cultural attachments to being part of a community and engaging more broadly in society. The artefacts are explored through data-driven content analysis and self-reflexive and collaborative interpretation and discussed through multimodality and a sociocultural approach to children’s visual expression. This interdisciplinary volume draws on cultural studies, communication studies, art education, and educational sciences.
Supporting Cultural Differences Through Literacy Education
Supporting cultural and linguistic differences through literacy education fosters inclusive, diverse learning environments where students thrive. By recognizing and valuing students' unique cultural backgrounds and languages, literacy education can be tailored to bridge gaps and promote comprehension, communication, and critical thinking. Culturally responsive teaching methods and materials help students personally connect with the content, making learning relevant and accessible. Integrating multilingualism and diverse perspectives in literacy education enhances language skills while encouraging respect for diversity and social cohesion. Further research may help empower individuals, improving educational outcomes, and promoting an equitable society. Supporting Cultural Differences Through Literacy Education explores how literacy education can be tailored to support cultural and linguistic diversity, fostering an inclusive learning environment. It examines strategies for integrating diverse cultural perspectives and multilingual approaches to enhance literacy skills and promote social cohesion in diverse classrooms.
