The Great Jubilee Flag Project

More than 900 school children from the Cam and Dursley community took part in a joint project by Dursley Creative’s and the GL11 Community Hub during May and June.

 The project, which aimed to bring some creativity into the community and teach local children and community groups, how to silkscreen flag designs onto fabric to make flags for the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations at the beginning of June, was a huge success, linking up schools, teaching staff and different community groups with local artists.

 As well as schools delivering the sessions as part of their creative programme, pop-up sessions were held here at the GL11 Community Hub in the evenings and over weekends and everyone in the community were invited to come along.

 The Flag project ran for 6 weeks and more flags than we could count were created as a lasting and memorable way to remember the celebrations held for our Queen’s 75th year in reign.
