Abstract: This study aims to extend participatory methods in a digital environment to 1) determine the Lemi people's goals in literacy development, 2) determine how they can achieve those goals, and 3) evaluate the effectiveness of the PM tools used — specifically, their effectiveness in a) facilitating discussion of the issues and b) arriving at decisions that are likely to be followed and to be effective in achieving their purposes. Lemi people have recently been pressured to move to different parts of the world for political, economic, and educational reasons. This has impacted literacy programs for the Lemi language. This research offers a valuable model for other communities facing similar challenges. Previous studies on literacy development have used participatory methods (PM) tools, but the displacement of the Lemi community has made it challenging to engage with them using traditional in-person approaches. While various tools for online collaboration exist, there is a lack of research evaluating their effectiveness in facilitating community-based literacy programs. Therefore, the primary objective of this study is to explore strategies for facilitating literacy development in diaspora contexts, taking into account the unique challenges faced by the Lemi people. The investigation examines literacy development goals, available resources, and barriers to implementation across three diverse locations: an urban center in Myanmar, a diaspora refugee community in India, and a diaspora migrant worker community in Malaysia. The study engaged community members in online activities to explore these themes in each location and collaboratively across locations. Ultimately, the findings of this study provide valuable insights and practical strategies for promoting literacy development in diaspora communities.
