  things, including language, job, hobbies, gender,
  religion, dress, music tastes or support for a

  groups in society you relate to and feel part of.
  You might strongly relate to your regional
  identity Yorkshire for example. Equally you
  might strongly identify with your national
  identity British, Nigerian, French. Some

  different identities. This is dual heritage.
