Word Up - Culture Galore
Come meet our passionate team at CCC’s Culture Galore; a festival celebrating our city’s diversity. This is an opportunity to have a chat and ask us, as Muslims, any questions you may have and tell us what Unity means to you! To be held at the Multicultural Recreation & Community Centre, 455 Hagley Avenue
Ride for Unity
Come and Ride the Peace Train - a model, ride-on train gifted by the Yusuf Islam Foundation to the people of Christchurch in recognition of the response of support and compassion that followed the terror attacks of March 15, 2019. Yusuf’s gift (his “little chugger”) was made because he saw the New Zealand response to the Mosque Attacks as a beautiful lesson, an example of the best side of humanity. The gift was conditional on the train being free to ride for the citizens of Christchurch and run in a central location.
Walk the Talk for Unity
What if a single step could spark a movement toward understanding and connection?
Meet us from 10.00am Sunday 15 March at the Bridge of Remembrance to join us for Walk the Talk for Unity at 10.30 , where every stride becomes a statement of togetherness, compassion, and community.
From the Bridge of Remembrance we will make our way to the Peace Bell in the Botanical Gardens by 11.30am (where the CCC will be holding a Commemorative Service at 12pm in remembrance of those 51lives taken, and those irrevocably changed, on 15 March 2019).
Let’s turn words into action and walk side by side for a world that listens, respects, and unites. Take that step - because unity isn’t just an idea; it’s a journey we walk together
Hearts in Unity - 51 Threads
Come and get to know us through 'HeARTs in Unity - 51 Threads’ and experience a showcase of unique taonga at Tūranga Central Library. 51 Threads is a Christchurch - based community art exhibition and project by Sow a LYTTEL Seed that honours the victims of the 15 March mosque attacks. It features 51 unique pieces using calligraphy and embroidery to share stories and promote healing
