UPF New Zealand warmly invites you to the fourth annual Youth and Family Peace Day, to be held on Saturday 14 November 2026 at the Due Drop Event Centre, Sir Robinson Conference Centre, Manukau, Auckland.

Building on the success of three consecutive years, this event continues to grow as one of UPF New Zealand's most significant annual gatherings — bringing together families, young people, faith communities, and civic leaders in a shared celebration of peace, unity, and strong family values.

About the Event

Youth and Family Peace Day is a full-day programme featuring cultural performances, keynote addresses, interactive youth sessions, and community exhibitions. Participants come from a wide range of cultural, faith, and community backgrounds — reflecting the rich diversity of Aotearoa.

The event is centred on a simple but powerful conviction: that lasting peace in society begins with strong, loving families, and that young people have a vital role to play in building the future we all want to see.

What to Expect

  • Keynote address on family and nation building
  • Cultural performances from Pacific, Asian, and New Zealand communities
  • Interactive youth breakout sessions on peacemaking and community service
  • Interfaith blessings and community presentations
