Abstract

The present study explores the role of young refugee children’s everyday digital media practices in their families’ transition into a new culture during the Covid-19 pandemic in Scotland. The study seeks to understand children’s engagements in their families’ transition process through their digital media practices. The aim is achieved by using interviews and workshops with volunteers working with refugee families and the living journals method with refugee families. The findings reveal that young children perform the role of facilitators, assistants, and cultural brokers through their digital media practices during the transition process of their families into a new culture.
