In the first hour of this session we'll hear from ICAN about the impact of the advocacy of the last eight months, as well as what comes next for them. The second hour of the session will be in worship and worship sharing, as Quakers seek to discern what this means for our advocacy about this concern into the future.
This Q&A will be a chance to hear directly from Ali about why he established Wattle Pathways, what he has learned from working with young people and families, and what he hopes the organisation can achieve. We’ll also talk about the challenges facing young people from refugee backgrounds as they settle into Australian schools and communities.
The theme for World Quaker Day on 4 October 2026 is Let Peace Be Among Us, with the supporting Bible passage Hebrews 12:14, “Make every effort to live in peace with everyone and to be holy.”
