ReGenerating Community Conference is about ways in which global issues are being addressed locally through collaborations between artists, communities and local government.
 
Conference themes:
 
* addressing global issues locally through collaborations between artists, communities and local government
* the links between creative communities and civic engagement
* the ways creative processes can mobilize communities for positive social change
* cultural citizenship and cultural rights, as an aspect of a broader human rights agenda
 
International speakers: Anmol Vellani, Indian philosopher, theatre director and Executive Director of the Indian Foundation of the Arts and Bob McNulty, founder and president of Partners for Livable Communities, USA.
 
In part the conference grows out of Generations, a three year project sponsored by the Australia Council on enhancing the relationship between community art and local governance. Generations was initiated by the
Cultural Development Network, Victoria, and conducted across five local government areas in Victoria, NSW, and Queensland to explore the links between engagement in community based arts activities and active civic engagement.
 
Cultural Development Network and RMIT Globalism Research Centre are hosts for a conference that promises to be...regenerating.
