In the weeks since the pandemic began to affect New Zealand, WeCreate has been listening to and engaging with, our members and others in the creative industries – and with the sector’s input has formulated a Plan for our Recovery & Renewal that can be started now.
The Aotearoa NZ creative sector counts more than ever. Creative people are often the first to offer innovative solutions in a crisis – and their skills, talent and ingenuity remain among the most powerful tools NZ has to propel our economic recovery from COVID-19, and to play a leading role in a swift return to wellbeing and prosperity for all of Aotearoa.
With many people in the creative sector now in crisis themselves, we believe a few easily-executed and low-cost actions can strengthen and renew our creative economy for a thriving future.
