ABSTRACT

This multimodal project, influenced by an Appreciative Inquiry framework, aimed to elicit stories of hope and resilience amidst the Covid-19 pandemic. Thematic analysis was employed to analyse twenty collected stories. A multimodal method that combined linguistic and visual language (non-fiction comics) was adopted in order to present the research findings. In Elli’s case, as with other participants, engaging with customs and rituals turned out to be an important source of hope, joy and resilience.
