Hello, I’m Mike Haines
Welcome to Global Acts of Unity: A campaign promoting unity, tolerance and understanding in schools. In 2014, my brother David Haines was murdered by ISIS.
I launched Global Acts of Unity so something positive could come out of this senseless and barbaric act.
My Story
Find out about me and my brother, what happened to him, and why I’m devoting my life to combating terrorism by spreading a message of unity, tolerance and understanding.
Classroom Resources
I’ve worked with education experts to create a free lesson plan and interactive classroom presentation. Designed for Key Stage 3 and 4, and perfect for PSHE, this teaching resource will help your pupils think about and discuss multiculturalism, terrorism, discrimination, diversity and British identity.
“The only way to defeat extremism is through unity across all backgrounds and faiths. Only by standing shoulder-to-shoulder, united against terror and hate, will we defeat the criminals and cowards who took my brother and threaten us all.”
