Each year, The Peace Foundation (Te Rōpū Rongomau o Aotearoa) puts on a Youth Peace Symposium Event. It is held on a school day at the Western Springs Community Centre, where rangatahi from high schools can come together in a celebration of peace, to discuss serious issues in our modern world.
There are inspiring speakers from different organisations in Aotearoa (such as this year’s keynote speaker, Chloe Swarbrick) who are able to share their journeys with students.
The symposium is an amazing event that gives young people the opportunity to express their thoughts concerning threats to peace in our society. It encourages youth voice and the power of action to stand up for peace.
