Description
The aftermath of the Christchurch mosque attacks in 2019 produced a sense of unreality; that “this is not us! This is not Aotearoa New Zealand. These things don’t happen here.” That same aftermath saw a wave of compassion.
One response to all of this was the quiet launch of The Christchurch Invitation: Mahia te Aroha (Action the Compassion) – as a platform for inclusive conversations.
Listen to “Christchurch Invitation" for conversations with a wide range of people – about identity and what it means to belong.
