Identity 2016: How are you changing?

BBC journalists explore the idea of identity, explaining how their backgrounds, cultures and genders define who they are and how they see themselves.

This year the BBC is examining the concept of "identity".

We would like you to take part, using your videos, photos, drawings and animations to show how your identity is changing.

We will showcase some of your submissions across the BBC, and you can get involved in the global conversation by using #BBCIdentity.

Do you define yourself by where you come from? Or does technology make you feel connected to people outside of your immediate environment? In this changing world how is your identity changing?

You can submit your vision of identity from 14 March to 18 April 2016.
