Ideas

We invite you to reflect on the lessons of the 15 March mosque attacks by supporting initiatives that promote inclusivity, tolerance, and community well-being. Let us come together in a collective effort to build a more compassionate society.

People of different ethnicities link arms and walk in unity wearing bright clothing.

Anyone, anywhere, anytime.

Make supporting unity a daily practice.

Use our downloadable resources to help you promote Unity Week NZ and to organise your own events.
