We want to create a YouTube channel of art programmes for them to access starting as soon as possible.

We have the concept and content, but will need support with video creation. Filming, editing, music, uploading to YouTube, managing the channel requirements.

Mission

Connect the Dots Charitable Trust’s mission is to connect people and strengthen neighbourhoods through the creative arts. We believe in the transformative power of the arts, and aim to create opportunities to grow, connect and celebrate the strengths and capabilities of individuals and communities.

What we Do

The Make Moments project is a series of facilitated art tours for people living with dementia and their carers. The purpose of this project is to engage this community in activities for intellectual stimulation, cultural engagement and social interaction.  This pilot project aims to make connections between Auckland’s public galleries, rest home facilities, and organisations that support the needs of elderly members of the communities, particularly organisations working with people with dementia.
