In the Middle of It

What does it take to grow participation culture in Aotearoa?

In the Middle of It takes you inside the vibrant world of community development in Aotearoa. This six-part series dives into the highs, challenges, and creative energy of building participation culture, following the progress of an innovative pilot project in three communities.

Co-hosted by community developers Cissy Rock, Lucy-Mary Mulholland, and Duncan Matthews, the podcast shares raw, real, and inspiring stories from the ground up. Hear from local “People Weavers” as they spark connections through shared activities like planting, cooking, and celebrating, bridging differences to foster belonging and resilience.

With a unique blend of Western circular worldviews and Te Ao Māori perspectives, In the Middle of It offers fresh insights into how participation can transform neighbourhoods. Whether you're curious about community work or just love a good story, this podcast will spark your imagination and invite you to join the journey.
