About this Event
We're excited to invite you to the first talk in a series of events happening across New Zealand, where we’ll be sharing the findings of the Muslim Diversity Study
Last year, we reached out to you to participate in the study, and now is your chance to hear the findings as we move into the next phase of sharing these valuable insights. Join us as we explore key insights and foster an understanding of Muslim diversity in New Zealand.
