Our Mission:
Coexist.
Coexistence reminds us that the link between people is more important than the differences while celebrating diversity and promoting understanding.

Weave the people together under our story
He aha te mea nui o te ao
What is the most important thing in the world?

It is the people, the people, the people

Our Story
“Its about understanding each other and moving beyond simple tolerance to embracing and celebrating the rich dimensions of diversity contained within each individual”
Coexistence Wellington is based in Wellington and aims to connect with schools, individuals, and or local and national communities and organisations to work together to collaborate, to highlight, to remember, to discuss, and to celebrate.
Through: dialogue, workshops, holding conversations. Through art, music, film, dance, theatre, writings… languages with no barriers.
Our Future
Let’s bring the theme of Coexistence to life and guide ourselves to difference and the ‘other ‘in our midst. Each of us can make a small step toward the unfamiliar through understanding and compassion. We are all part of this earth.
Let’s build a future of peace, prosperity and social justice and equality for all communities, for all people, in a sustainable harmonised environment.
Lets work together, join our conversations.

The exhibition has proved a popular attraction in 30 cities throughout the world, and was just as enthusiastically received in Sao Paulo as in Zurich. The exhibition promotes peaceful coexistence of different peoples, which is an extremely relevant and important message today.
