    Nick Kimber - ChangeMaker Chat - Relationship-based bureacrat

    Nick Kimber - ChangeMaker Chat - Relationship-based bureacrat

    What would it mean if we had local authorities and councils that saw their mission as building relationships with the communities they serve? This week we talk with Nick Kimber, the Director of Strategy and Design at the London Borough of Camden. He has helped create a council that builds relationships with the community it serves in everything that it does, from child protection to garbage collection.
    He shares with us how he came to believe in the power of relationships in local authorities, and what it means for councils to serve a mission of place making. For all those people who used to laugh at Yes Minister, this episode is a powerful salve, sharing how public servants can be powerful change makers and be a source for generating ordinary hope.
    This episode is the first in our 2024 UK special, sponsored by the Civic Power Fund and the UCL Policy Lab. They bring together extraordinary ideas and everyday experience to understand how we can change the world.
    To find out more about the amazing work undertaken by the London Borough of Camden, check out this speech by Camden Councillor Georgia, Leader of the Council and Chair of London Councils.

    Kim Loo - ChangeMaker Chat - Doctors and climate change

    Kim Loo - ChangeMaker Chat - Doctors and climate change

    If climate change affects everything - then what do we do to reimagine how we work, live and care for each other? This episode is with Dr Kim Loo - a leading Australian community climate activist and local Sydney-based General Practitioner, who has connected her role as a community doctor and her passion for the natural world to make sure she is building a healthy community for us all.
     
    Here she talks about how growing up in multicultural South Western Sydney taught her about the power of community but also the impact of pollution on our health. As a doctor she has sought to create care that is not just about patients as individuals, but for healthy communities and healthy societies. She shares her understanding of the role of experts and the role of place in making change, and reminds us of the power of relationships.
     
    Kim talks about her membership of Doctors for the Environment, and you can find out more about them here: https://dea.org.au/.

    Brooklyn 99 - ChangeMakers #ICYMI - Using a Platform for Change

    Brooklyn 99 - ChangeMakers #ICYMI - Using a Platform for Change

    As a tribute to the magnificent Andre Braugher and his alter ego Captain Holt - we are re-releasing this episode with Brooklyn 99 writers and cast recorded back in 2018.
    What can we learn when a Hollywood TV show gets into ChangeMaking? Comedy show Brooklyn 99 took on police racism. How did they do it in a way that people didn’t turn off?
    We interviewed Terry Crews, Dan Good (Series Creator) and the writer of their #BlackLivesMatter episode Moo Moo Phil Jackson to find out about the politics behind the show. Listen in for the moment when Dan Goor does a magnificent Captain Holt.
    Vale Andre Braughter.
    We are on summer break and will return at the end of January 2024. For more on ChangeMakers check us out: Via our Website – https://changemakerspodcast.org; on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/ChangeMakersPodcast/ and on X/Twitter – @changemakers99 or @amandatatts

    Adam Barbanel-Fried - #ICYMI Deep Canvassing

    Adam Barbanel-Fried - #ICYMI Deep Canvassing

    In our last episode for 2023 we bring you an episode from 2021 - recorded in the weeks after the Presidential Election - that explores Deep Canvassing. Deep Canvassing uses the story telling and listening techniques of community organising to talk to voters about how they might vote in an election. It has been shown to be radically effective at engaging and persuading people. It is a very different form of electoral engagement to the typical transactional or rapid pace sales pitch usually associated with electoral campaigning.
    This is a very important conversation given that 2024 is the year of the UK and US elections, and in places like Australia there are serious reflections about what did not work in the Voice referendum.
    We will see you all again in late January 2024.

The best

Started listening to this podcast a few years ago and I continue to learn and be inspired by the content. Thanks Amanda!

Paul Doughty ,

Highly recommended

One of the best podcasts about organising and social movements you’ll come across. Great format, great production and great stories. Easy and enjoyable to listen to, yet explores issues in great depth from the perspective of those standing up to the powerful.

enviromads ,

Crucial conversations for the times we live in. Thank you!

As a young change maker, learning from people who have been creating social change for some time is essential. Thank you!
