Unity Summit 2026 will bring together international and local speakers for an inspiring conversation regarding how the lessons learned from the tragic events of 15 March 2019 can strengthen and guide our youth as they step into leadership & citizenship. Young people today are growing up in a world marred by geopolitical, economic, social, technological, and ecology instability. Uncertainty surrounds them as they negotiate their way towards our collective future. However, to move forward with wisdom and purpose we must first understand our past. Details to be confirmed.

Come and Ride upon 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. Details to be confirmed.
