A short survey has been designed to gather views on this issue and on the themes of belonging and identity.
This survey is part of the Island Identity project that was commissioned by Deputy Carolyn Labey, Assistant Chief Minister, Minister for International Development and Chair of the Island Identity (IID) Policy Development Board. On Tuesday 15 Feb they have arranged an event Jersey Dialogues – Exploring and Celebrating Our Island Idenity at Radison Blu Hotel with the formal programme running from 1:30 to 5:30 pm includes talk and workshops with high profile speakers.
