E-raced

We harness the power of narrative to empower, inform and engage by using a team of young storytellers Thanks to FRRR grants we have now made the idea a reality.

E-raced is a non-profit organisation that has a vision to change people's perception on refugees and migrants. The E-raced project came to life at the 2014 Heywire submit in Canberra. Prudence Melom and her team are traveling aroundQueensland sharing real stories to help erase racism in our community.

Our Story

E-RACED aims is to erase racism one story at a time.

E-raced harnesses the power of narrative to inform and engage by using a team of story tellers who share their personal experiences as refugees or migrants with students at schools across the Darling Downs and beyond.

The program enables students to meet people from other cultures and countries and hear their stories about coming to Australia as a refugee or immigrant. Story tellers share their experiences and provide a face for events which students may have only previously seen on television. A direct retelling of stories enables greater comprehension of another’s experiences and encourages the development of empathy. Positive direct contact and descriptions of personal experiences challenge preconceptions. Conversations enable the identification of similarities as well as differences. Questions provide opportunities for connection and engagement. Students are able to review their own attitudes and expectations in the light of newfound experiences and knowledge.
