Empowering Unity – The Story of the 2025 Pacific Mini Games. What does Empowering Unity truly mean?

Our young reporters spent the final days of the Games asking that question, capturing heartfelt reflections from athletes, and leaders across the Pacific.

Set against the powerful energy of the Closing Ceremony, this film is a celebration of togetherness, resilience, and the moments that brought us all closer.

We’re incredibly proud and grateful to have been part of this unforgettable journey and to help tell the stories that made these Games so special.

Our young reporters got a taste of the fun education that is being provided by the Voices of the Athlete's team at the dining room in the athlete's village. Why are athlete's voice's important?

🏹 Archery at the Pacific Mini Games – Precision, Passion, and Powerful Values.

This short film takes you inside the archery range, where calm meets concentration, and where every shot tells a story. But what really stood out? The values behind the sport.

“You can be the worst shooter but a good person and you’ll still be considered the best archer.”

WOW - A powerful reminder that skill matters, but character matters more.

🌺 What’s So Special About Palau?
We know Palau is beautiful, but we wanted to hear why it’s so special from the people who know it best.

Our young reporters took to the streets to ask locals what they love most about their home and culture, and to hear what visiting athletes and guests are discovering, too.

Proud voices and heartfelt answers.
