Repurpose your unused digital devices!

The Team from Depot Artspace

We want to close the digital divide!

As part of the Depots' Artslab programme, we support 180 unemployed creatives find work every year.

We usually provide laptops at our workshops but due to lockdown we can’t, so some of our creatives are feeling very isolated and struggling to apply for work.

Recently on RNZ it was revealed that on average each NZ household has 6.5 digital devices but only two thirds of these are used.

We want to set up a programme whereby you can drop off your unused digital devices to us and we will repurpose them.

So if you have an old phone, tablet or laptop that works please get in touch: artslab@depotartspace.co.nz

Alternatively, you can drop them off on Wednesdays 11am - 5pm during the current lockdown level 3. We will have a staff member present those days.

Thank you in advance!

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
