Syedpur to Sunderland

Learn by Exploring

Through inter-generational workshops, community engagement and outreach, participants of all ages learnt about the culture, history, traditions and heritage of Sunderland’s Bangladeshi community.

This programme of learning helped to bridge the gap between generations and cultures by bringing diverse groups of people together, with the aim of promoting tolerance understanding and knowledge of our cultural history across Sunderland.

This learning journey across cultures, ages and abilities used a method known as Storyline, alongside intergenerational practice, oral history methods and creative expression.
