Which Flag to Wave, a FREE writing workshop that will use flags as a way of talking about pride in various forms, including sexuality and nationality, is to be hosted by QTIPoC Narratives on Zoom on Friday, February 26 from 7pm. Although the workshop finishes at 8pm, two mental health first aiders will stay until 8.30pm if anyone requires 1-2-1 listening support.
