Outline of Final Research Achievements

This research was conducted longitudinally on the community-based theatre project performed by both foreign and Japanese residents to consider the meaning and possibility that it will encourage the development of linguistically and culturally diverse children. We also promoted several series' of workshops for the foreign children, together with the researcher at London university and the art directors in the UK, to discuss how we can create a drama environment within a multilingual and multicultural situation/context.
