Digital folklores platform to connect BAME children to their rich cultural heritage

传统民俗是BAME文化不可分割的一部分，它提供了一种宝贵的集体认同手段，也是一种世代保存文化遗产的方式。在散居国外的BAME社区中，尤其是在儿童中，人们越来越关注文化特性的丧失。这意味着年轻一代往往与传统讲故事所蕴含的文化丰富性和道德价值观脱节，这可能会导致错位和疏离感。该项目提供了一个独特的机会，利用新兴技术将传统的BAME民间传说转变为互动的数字讲故事和用户生成的内容，能够以有意义和创造性的方式将儿童与其文化遗产重新联系起来。该项目将允许儿童为自己和家庭成员创建独特的个人资料，并将自己沉浸在讲故事的社区中，以激发一种参与感和包容性。这些数字体验将有助于保护和庆祝文化多样性，促进文化间对话，并增强社会凝聚力。项目组将确定和整理来自不同BAME文化的一系列传统民间传说，并利用互动媒体将其转化为数字格式，使其更容易为儿童所接受和吸引。

Traditional folklores are an integral part of BAME culture which offers a valuable means of collective identity as well as a way to preserve cultural heritage across generations. There has been growing concern regarding the loss of cultural identity among BAME communities living in the diaspora, particularly among children. This means that the younger generation is often disconnected from the cultural richness and moral values embedded in traditional storytelling, which can lead to a sense of dislocation and alienation.This project offers a unique opportunity to use emerging technologies to transform traditional BAME folklores into interactive digital storytelling and user-generated content that can reconnect children to their cultural heritage in a meaningful and creative way. The project would allow children to create unique profiles for themselves and family members and immerse themselves into the storytelling community to spark a sense of engagement and inclusion. These digital experiences would help to preserve and celebrate cultural diversity, promote intercultural dialogue, and enhance social cohesion. The project team will identify and curate a range of traditional folklores from different BAME cultures, and transform them into digital formats using interactive media to make them more accessible and engaging to children.
