Vitenparken

The study of flags provides us with an exciting opportunity to explore the identity, history and values ​​of nations through their symbols. The flag bearer, Frederic Lindboe, will guide us through an educational and entertaining program, where both young and old can learn about the meaning of flags in a fun and engaging way. With activities that inspire both curiosity and reflection, we will explore why flags are important in history, culture, art and design, diplomacy, social awareness and global communication.

In addition to flag studies, we will also delve into the world of technology through micro:bit projects, make pancakes shaped like flags using a robot, and test our knowledge of geography.

Frederic, also known as Forsker-Frederic , has many talents and a great passion for vexillology (the study of flags). He has designed his own flag and the official flag of the Forest Finns , together with his wife Bettina. He was also recently interviewed on the podcast 198 land with Einar Tørnquist to talk about “ Flag Day.”

This is a weekend perfect for the whole family – don't miss this fun and educational experience! Read more about Flaggmannen!
