Global Creative Therapy & Connection

Michelle from Ponsonby

If you've been following lately you may have noticed that some inspiring Colour Our Story events have been taking place across parts of Africa thanks to our amazing global ambassadors in Uganda, Cameroon and Sierra Leone.

Our children's global colouring in books are designed to empower, inspire and create a deeper sense of connection, empathy, curiosity and global citizenship through the therapeutic joy of creativity.

The kids got to experience reading stories and colouring in drawings created by other kids all across the globe. In response they dived in their own hearts and minds, sharpened their pencils and got to work creating their own powerful drawings and stories that they wished to share with everyone.

So now's the time where we get to start preparing that beautiful content for our special colouring in books (made by kids, for kids, all across the world) and we've always believed that should be a special, fun event in itself too. So easy, so rewarding and no skills or experience needed! Everything will be provided.

It's been a while since I've organised one of these so it will be quite a celebratory event with a few extra surprises and I'll be brewing up a delicious batch of my favourite mulled wine with nibbles, relaxing music, videos and others logging in from across the globe to hang out with us for an evening of purposeful and therapeutic fun... connecting creatively with like minded souls.

AT COLOUR OUR STORY OUR AIM IS TO SUPPORT CHILDREN IN NEED OF THE THERAPY AND JOY OF CREATIVITY THROUGH GLOBAL EXCHANGES, OPPORTUNITIES AND SUPPLIES.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.

Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.

For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.

Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?

We hope this brings a smile!
