The project was funded by Heritage Lottery Fund and explored Bangladeshi Heritage through storytelling from the older generation and reliving and playing childhood games with the wider community of Birmingham.
The project hosted a series of community events across inner-city areas of Birmingham where Bangladeshi and other ethnic minority groups occupy a significant proportion of the population and engage the youth and older generation in traditional Bengali games such as Carrom, Ludo, Latim, Golli and Satchada to capture the exchange of stories of how family life was like for early settlers.
The stories, games and activities were documented in a documentary to provide a unique insight into the culture and heritage of the Bangladeshi community and archived at the Library of Birmingham and shared with Ironbridge International Institute for Cultural Heritage at the University of Birmingham.
