Children + Youth at FUSE 2026
Heeding the Call
The theme of our Child and Youth programming is Heeding the Call. Through exploration and activities on empathy, courage, abundance, joy, and other qualities we ask our children and youth how these standards can be tools for justice. The programme includes tools such as how to be a good ally and tips on the language of conflict resolution. True stories of courage, sacrifice and collaboration, role-plays, games, and a program-long justice project will feed youth’s rising realization that as Unitarians we are all called to love justice – not just with our words, but also with our deeds.
Pop up music
At 6pm on Saturday the children’s programme will host a workshop led by Tim Harrison who will weave together environmental themes with his original music. (Children and adults).
This is an exciting children’s programme for ages 5 to 17, but sadly there’s no crèche facilities for under-5s.
