Te Ora Auaha: The Alliance For Creative Wellbeing Innovation
A new alliance of cross-disciplinary practitioners, researchers and policy makers committed to growing the role of the arts in promoting health and wellbeing in Aotearoa. Creative Collaborative worked with an informal action group of organisations in 2017, and hosted two call to action events. Across these two events 50 people joined us from Auckland, Christchurch and Wellington, collectively representing arts, museums, health, education, youth, community, research, government and funding bodies. A core group is working on an action plan to inspire a national movement.
