Connected Media

Connected Media is a New Zealand based charitable trust founded in 1993.

Our mission is to promote sustainability through media.

There is an urgent need for humanity’s relationship with our planet - and our relationships with each other - to become more respectful and balanced.

That is Connected Media’s understanding of what sustainability is all about. It embraces environmental and health issues, social and economic development, human rights and peace.

We promote sustainability by communicating information and ideas through the powerful media of film, television and the Internet.

It has often been said that sustainability is a journey, not a destination. While on that journey we think it is important that people talk the walk.

With the digital revolution now underway everyone can create as well as consume media. We are moving from the information age to an era of global media participation.

Participation is also a key to global sustainability. Active, informed citizenship is vital for the necessary changes to take place.

So our objective is to help grow a generation of enterprising, digital-savvy young people who are focussing their creative energy and self-expression on the big issue of their time – sustainability.

A generation that talks the walk.
