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.
Inheritance Tracks
Do you have a piece of music that has meant something to you for many years? Perhaps you inherited it from your parents or other important people in your life. Perhaps you also have a track that you would hand on to future generations? Come and join Tim for a chance to share your ‘inheritance tracks’, and the stories around them and enjoy some new music along the way. All ages welcome for this evening of collective sharing, listening and meaningful music.
This is an exciting children’s programme for ages 5 to 17, but sadly there’s no crèche facilities for under-5s.
