FLAGS
Aim: This introductory exercise develops a flag that represents the cultural history of everyone in the group. It helps identify similarities and differences and promotes discussion.
You will need
- A large piece of white cotton fabric
- Fabric paint and brushes
- Water pots
- Fabric paint markers
- Paper and pens
How to do it: Start a short discussion on the purpose of flags and what they represent both historically and now; for example in battle or at sports arenas.
Now explain the task, handing out paper and pens to each young person so that they can design their part of the flag. This can be a picture, symbol or simply colour, but should represent their personal heritage. For example; faith, family history or anything that they think defines who they are.
