The Forum covered topics such as religion and the media, inequalities in health and criminal justice, diversity in government, leisure and sport, addressing family violence, supporting newcomers, and rangatiratanga and human rights. Highlights included a presentation by sixty young people who participated in the National Youth Forum on Cultural Diversity, the national launch of Islam Awareness Week and the New Zealand Diversity Awards.
