Here at InCommon, we've been working hard encouraging people to reach out across cultures and faiths to make Canterbury a place where everyone feels they belong.
We strive to highlight how similar we are to people who, at first, we may not think we share much in common. Because no matter our background or upbringing, often our differences are only skin deep.
In this issue we outline what we've been up to, share some tools to help get the kōrero going, and provide you with some super easy ways to support the InCommon kaupapa.
Arohanui,
The team at InCommon (you can read about us here!)

SPEED DATING INCOMMON STYLE
From a love of op shopping to our favourite pizza toppings, it doesn't take long to find things we have in common.
Check out this video to see how quickly you can discover things we have in common.
REACH OUT ON MOTHER'S DAY
We all have or had mum’s and other motherly figures in our lives – sharing a kind word and connecting with those who could benefit from a pick me up this Sunday could make a big difference.
Here’s to all our mothers, solo mums, step-mums, foster-mums, dad-mums, friend-mums, all the motherly figures and the soon-to-be mums.
We’re sending extra love to those who’ve lost mums, lost children, have difficult mums and those desperate to be mums.
Plus there’s Papatūānuku our Earth mother, fur-baby mums and plant mums!
Lots of aroha to you all.
CHECK OUT THIS 'WHO'S WHO'!!

HELP US SPREAD THE WORD
We'd love your help to encourage others towards new friendships. To make it easy to share our message you can also download posters, email signatures and social media tiles from our website. We reckon the posters would look great printed out at your workplace!
You can share us on social too!
Check out our Facebook and Instagram pages for awesome bits of encouragement, competitions and events. If you are sharing on social media, it would mean a lot if you used the official hashtag #incommonnz.
If you've been following us on social media you may have noticed just how popular pineapple is as a pizza topping! Congratulations to Urwashi Koroi for sharing your love of pineapple on pizza with us - we hope you enjoyed your $50 Spagalimis Pizzeria voucher!
SEEN US AROUND?
It's been our absolute pleasure sharing this mahi across Ōtautahi.
Did you see us?
