ReGenerating Community Conference>>
Sept 2 - 4, 2009. RMIT University, Melbourne
Conference Overview
The ReGenerating Community Conference is about ways in which global issues are being addressed locally through collaborations between artists, communities and local government. Issues of community identity in an environment of globalised culture; issues of energy production in the context of climate change; issues of indigenous sovereignty on leasehold land; issues of country becoming city and changing identity; issues of aging; issues of schooling; issues of imaging futures, issues of having a future...
People are switching off. Who can switch them on to determining positive futures? How can community relationships be built across the divide of the governed and the governing? Can communities choose the change they want, shaping their environments in unique ways? How and where is this happening?
This conference will discuss local governments responses to creating new models of civic engagement. Arts are the focus. Examples of arts based projects tackling the big issues through community cultural engagement are the springboard for discussion by leading national and international speakers, commentators, community leaders, officials, politicians, academics and artists.
Cultural Development Network and RMIT Globalism Research Centre are hosts for a conference that promises to be...regenerating.
Researchers from the Universities of Canberra, Melbourne and Sydney are completing individual interviews and group discussions with young people in our area. They’re interested in your reactions to the media coverage and what type of information you would like to see about swine flu.
If you would like to participate call Fiona McKay on 03 8575 2230 or email.
Participants will receive a small contribution of $30 towards out-of-pocket expenses for helping with this community project.
Michael Cathcart @ Underground Talk

Cnr Victoria & Lygon Sts, Carlton
The Water Dreamers is the story of the settlement of Australia: of the scarcity of water and the need to fill an imagined silence with the sounds of civilisation. From the moment the First Fleeters stepped ashore, water determined progress. The Tank Stream that flowed through what is now the Sydney CBD provided fresh water until settlers and their livestock fouled it. Then water from a nearby swamp was piped into the growing settlement. When it ran dry sights were set further afield.” (from the Text Publishing website)
Michael Cathcart is a well-known writer, broadcaster and theatre director. He abridged Manning Clark’s six-volume A History of Australia (Melbourne University Press, 1993), and currently lectures in Australian Studies at the University of Melbourne.
Entry: $5/ $2.

Switch off Hazelwood! Switch off coal!
Switch on Renewables!
Saturday-Sunday, September 12-13 2009
Hazelwood Power Station, Brodribb Road, Hazelwood, Victoria
This will be a day of fun, creative and inspiring direct community action at Hazelwood coal power station. This march and protest at the front gates of the Hazelwood Power Station, is organised by community members who care about climate change - and are willing to take peaceful community action
Take action for renewable energy & clean energy jobs! Hazelwood is one of the dirtiest coal stations in the industrialised world, spewing an average of 17 million tonnes of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere every year. It was scheduled to be shut down this year but it was given a reprieve by the ALP state government in 2005 allowing it to continue operating until 2031. We need to remove that lifeline and instead support renewable energy, extending the lifeline to our planet.
On Sunday, September 13 protestors will converge on Hazelwood for a day of peaceful community mass civil disobedience to switch off Hazelwood and switch off coal. Wear blue! For more details and info re transport visit Switch Off Hazelwood
- # Saturday, September 12. We are encouraging people who are going to the protests to come the afternoon before and camp. This is important for the unity of the protest. In the evening there will be meetings of the whole protest at the campsite. There will also be workshops.

The
Barmah-Millewa Collective shares a vision of healthy country, where
biodiversity and bush tucker flourish; where the land, rivers and
wetlands are clean and healthy; and where Traditional Owners enjoy
their inherent rights to care for country and enjoy its produce.
In
2001 we joined the Yorta Yorta in their campaign to protect the world
grew to cover the red gum forests along the length of the Murray and
achieved a stunning victory in December 2008 with the announcement of
91,000ha of new red gum national parks in Victoria, and the co-
management of the Barmah and Nyah Forests.
Building on this
success, we now collaborate with Traditional Owner Nations throughout
the Murray-Darling Basin to protect and care for this unique and
threatened landscape. Our work ranges from on-ground revegetation
projects through to campaigns for Aboriginal land rights and new
conservation reserves.
For more information on this campaign see the official Barmah-Millewa campaign website.

Screening of new documentary Uranium: Is it a Country?
Followed by discussion with Jim Green, National Nuclear Campaigner, Friends of the Earth
With debates about energy sources and how to tackle climate change, there has been a push for Australia to take up the nuclear option in power generation. Ziggy Switkowski, head of the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation says, Australia is ‘out of step’ in rejecting nuclear energy. There is also a push to expand Australia's uranium mining.
What do climate change activists say about the push to put nuclear back on the agenda?
Uranium: Is it a Country? is a new documentary that traces the journey of Australian uranium from the outback to the European nuclear plants.
