Summary/Abstract: This paper discusses the role that drama, music and media can play in heritage language learning. The authors will present findings from a pro-ject that took place in a community Greek school in London and explore how creative approaches can enhance students’ heritage language learn-ing, by bringing together different disciplines as well as different envi-ronments such as school, home and community. The project was part of Critical Connections: Multilingual Digital Storytelling Project, a collabora-tion between Goldsmiths, University of London and different community and mainstream schools in four countries.
