Ep 27 - Where to next for Community-Led Development? with Megan Courtney Beyond Consultation

    • Government

Introducing Megan Courtney
I first met Megan when I moved to Nelson five or six years ago. We caught up for a cup of coffee and I was a little bit in awe of some of the stuff she was talking about.

She's one of the core members of Inspiring Communities and has been with the organisation since it started 15 years ago.

In this episode we talk about the changes she’s seen in community-led development during this time.

We also explore Inspiring Communities’ journey as an organization that's made up of European descended New Zealanders who are authentically asking themselves, ‘How can we be of Aotearoa New Zealand?’

This episode is packed with all sorts of mind-altering gold nuggets.

If you're looking for insight into how to navigate the messiness of systems change or involved in community-led development, you are going to love this conversation.

In today’s episode you’ll learn:

The nature of cycles, and how we shouldn’t get too stuck on the exciting stuff in the beginning when the real work comes with pushing through.
How structural response without changing mindsets and practices can only take us so far.
Why it’s important to think of different ways of enabling participation in what you’re doing.
How you might authentically grow and nurture a Tangata Tiriti organisation.
