Connected Media Charitable Trust and The Outlook for Someday Project supports the 17 Sustainable Development Goals and partners with the UN to promote an awareness of the SDG's in New Zealand through our website, national workshop project and film challenge. The 17 SDG's will help young people in New Zealand to be able to understand what are the most pressing issues around sustainability in the world today and help them to generate films as resources to be used to educate the community about sustainability issues in New Zealand and beyond.

Awareness of the 17 SDG's will be promoted on our website, workshops and as topics for The Outlook for Someday film challenge. The Outlook for Someday Workshops: At the workshops students will have the opportunities to chose an initiative from the 17 SDG's to focus their experimental film on or they will be able to use a chosen SDG as a topic for a film to submit into The Outlook for Someday Film Challenge.

Connected Media Charitable Trust was founded in 1993. The Outlook for Someday has been operational as a project since 2007 we find great alignment with the 17 SDG's and see our partnership as an extension of the work and awareness we are already working towards. Meeting the capacity challenges that lay before us, is part of the growth we are aiming for in our work.

Connected Media Charitable Trust will be the major partner in this partnership with The Outlook for Someday Project. Connected Media has a Governance Board and a Management Team.
