Why Coming Home to Ubuntu?
More than a location, “coming home” is an invitation to reconnect – within ourselves, with others, and with the Earth. This Forum offers a compass: a reminder that we belong to the land, to the ancestors, and to each other. Ubuntu calls us to radically reimagine what it means to be human, together.
This is the time to bridge diverse perspectives and foster a deep exploration of peace through Ubuntu, emphasising shared humanity and interconnectedness of all life forms.
