Author: Our Community June 16, 2008 Duration: 41:47
Prof. Fran Baum presented "Not In My Backyard: How globalisation can be harnessed to support local equality, inclusion and community" at the 2008 Communities in Control Conference

There’s a powerful conversation happening in towns and suburbs across Australia, driven by people who are rolling up their sleeves to make real change. Communities in Control captures that energy and brings it directly to you. Born from a vibrant social movement that gathers hundreds of community sector workers, volunteers, and supporters each year, this podcast extends the dialogue far beyond the conference room. You’ll hear from the organizers, advocates, and everyday citizens who are on the ground, exchanging practical strategies and debating the best ways to build inclusion. Each episode feels like a candid discussion among peers, focused on turning ideas into action. The movement is all about transforming communities into thriving places for everyone, and this audio series lets you listen in on how that work gets done. Presented by Our Community, the podcast serves as both a source of inspiration and a practical toolkit, offering stories that recharge your drive and demonstrate what’s possible when people come together. It’s for anyone interested in the mechanics of social good, from government and non-profit professionals to passionate volunteers looking to deepen their impact. Tune in for genuine voices and honest talks about the challenges and triumphs of taking control, one community at a time.
