How traditional games bridge the gap between generations and cultures
In short: This project explores how Bangladeshi community members in the UK use traditional games to preserve history and foster social cohesion.
The initiative documented heritage through games like Carrom, Ludo, Latim, Golli, and Satchada. By engaging both youth and older generations, the project captured stories of early settler life and family traditions that were nearly lost over time.
Beyond cultural preservation, the project served as a tool for multiculturalism. It aimed to instill a sense of belonging in young people while promoting social cohesion by sharing these heritage experiences with friends from diverse ethnic backgrounds.
