ABSTRACT
This chapter illustrates how the method of participatory photography has been used to explore issues of inclusive education with recently arrived immigrant children within three secondary schools in Cyprus. Photography proved to be an invaluable tool when conducting a series of research projects as part of a collaborative network of schools in England, where many of the students were identified as having English as an additional language and so did not share a common language with the Eliadou. Author's appreciation of how photography can serve as a useful research tool beyond the context of schools was further enhanced while co-teaching an undergraduate course at the University of Manchester, entitled Participatory photography. In exploring the extent to which the students were included, he focused on understanding their experiences in terms of their presence, participation, achievement and social inclusion in their new schools and, in this way, unravelled factors promoting and hindering their inclusion.
