We do recurrent fieldwork at multicultural events in schools and local communities and interview central participants. In addition, we take pictures of representations of culture, language, religion and nation in the stalls, and interview parents and other representatives about the meanings they ascribe to them.
For the study of the perspectives of young people, we use discursive shadowing of selected young people, and involve selected young people as co-researchers by asking them to take pictures of representations and discuss these in focus group interviews. In addition, EngageLab at the University of Oslo has designed an app to collect memories multicultural events evoke in young people. The prompts have been translated into multiple languages, and the young people are asked to audio record their answers in the language of their choice.
