Flag Up Your Identity
If you’re feeling creative, why not take part in our Flag Up Your Identity project, by making a flag that represents who you are and where you come from? You can make a flag out of almost anything – old clothes and textiles, paper and card, even plastic bags!
Download our information pack for some how-to tips and inspiration. Or come along to a flag making workshop to make your flag in a group.
