Using photography to stimulate children’s sense of cultural diversity within international school twinningTools Yapici, Haci (2018) Using photography to stimulate children’s sense of cultural diversity within international school twinning. PhD thesis, University of Nottingham.
AbstractThis thesis seeks to define useful conditions for children within primary education to develop greater awareness and understanding of cultural diversity. In order for children to have cultural exchanges, international school twinning practices was considered to be a sensible strategy to underpin this aim. For providing a communicative medium whereby children might have cultural interactions, photography was the other significant mediating resource. In this report, two interventions were described, involving two separate international school twinning projects between Turkey and the UK. The results of Intervention I indicated that despite gentle prompts from a co-participating researcher, and despite an eagerness from the children, there was limited visual sensitivity in reading and interpreting cultural implications in both their own and photographs and those shared between the participating schools. A modest advance towards the conclusion of the first intervention influenced the design of the next intervention.
