Summary

Mercè Bernaus grew up in Spain, in a language imposed by the oppressor, and reminds us that school is a political instrument manipulated by the official language. Emilee Moore, daughter of Italian migrants in Australia, explores the stigma surrounding the indigenous communities in Australia and their right to live and learn in their languages. Together, they explore how gesture, ways of dressing, and dance movements can contribute to learning, in the context of different socio-cultural dynamics and through collaborative and activist approaches that include the whole semiotic repertoire of students.
