Have you ever used Duolingo to learn a language? Headspace for a guided meditation? For those from the UK, do you ever reminisce on the days of coolmathsgames?
Digital interventions in learning are everywhere and there's no doubt about their efficacy. One thing that is still to be understood, however, is how these tools can be used for community engagement.
Context Culture has now entered the research field, driven by our co-founder from as a digital intervention for archiving immigrant families' stories, with the intention of preserving their cultural heritage. It will also have outward looking implications whereby students can use these stories to better understand their own cultures and to support these families integrations into the local communities.
Yuchen and co-presented a research brief to the last week, where Yuchen spoke in person whilst Stewart tuned in from the UK!
Storytelling as a tool for reflection in the context of intercultural communication is the way forward!

What a year!
We’ve had the best time recording this podcast with so many amazing guests and are so thankful for all the knowledge and insight they’ve given us! Every episode has been a learning opportunity and we’re so excited to continue this into season 2.
But before we get ahead of ourselves, check out our final episode of season 1 where we wrap up with our key takeaways and an insight into what we’ve got planned for season 2!
In this episode, you’ll hear reflections on:
• The power of storytelling
• Our favourite episodes
• Whether we think we have any biases
• Whether there is such thing as cultural superiority/inferiority, and much more!
And if that’s not enough, we’ve also released the introductory episode for season 2 to get you excited for what's to come! We’ve changed up the format entirely and hope you're as keen as we are to get going! Thank you all for the support you’ve given us over the past year and we look forward to supporting your cross-cultural learning in 2022!
As always, the link is in our bio and on our story, or simply search “Context Culture Cast” into wherever you get your podcasts.
