LATEST PROJECT

This creative workshop is part of the funded doctoral research project Building Identity Through Stories (BITS). The project explores how transmedia storytelling (TS) can support students with learning differences as they transition into university and begin shaping their identity and sense of belonging.

The workshop brings together perspectives from art-based research and educational research. From a practice-based research perspective, TS is explored as a creative intervention that invites participants to express transition experiences across different media. At the same time, the workshop generates exploratory insights into how TS activities may help universities better understand students’ transition journeys and inform more inclusive approaches to student support.
