Summary:This paper explores graphic novels that address issues of diversity and migration and enhance multiliteracies learning in the German classroom. By adopting a multiliteracies approach, the paper proposes a transformative learning approach that explores these issues within graphic novels. Examples of learning activities from an intermediate course illustrate how graphic novels amplify marginalized voices and facilitate candid inquiries into topics like racism and colonialism. The study highlights the relevance of graphic novels in addressing evolving teaching challenges and meeting the diverse demands of education in the context of global events and calls for social justice.
