Visit their website for resources and more information on Transformational Ethical Story Telling (opens in new window).

As stated on their website:

"This document has been created to set out both the non-binding Transformational Ethical Story Telling Principles and the legal framework Story Telling sits within. It is a guide for Partners who wish to follow a safe and ethical approach to their Story Telling practices. It is also a guide for Story Holders and their communities to understand their rights and provide a bargaining framework when deciding if and how they will share their Story. In doing so, it will give agency to Story Holders, through centring them and their Story.

The document provides an overview of the legal rights that Story Holders may have to their Story, including in copyright. Whilst Partners may have legal obligations, these may not meet ethical standards. By following this framework, Partners and Story Holders can balance ethical and legal standards to understand what each party is providing and giving up, so that Story Holders can make informed decisions abobut whether and on what terms they wish to share their Story."

Our race believes that stories are most powerful when the truth and the narrative is controlled by the Story Teller.

In their own words:

"Our Race is a social enterprise with an emphasis on the redemptive and restorative nature of Story Telling in a culturally diverse social environment. We educate and advocate for the empowerment of Story Tellers, and an inclusive and intelligent approach to Story Telling by organisations and the wider community.

 We seek to flip the prevailing power imbalance of our social environment by developing and sharing tools and techniques to enable Story tellers and communities to create and direct their own Stories, thereby deriving the maximum benefit.

 We acknowledge and value the strength and example of First Nations’ Story Telling in which our own approach is grounded. Cultural knowledge and safety in practice are honoured and prioritised as the basis for a more ethical and transformative approach to Story Telling.

 We believe in genuine engagement, reflection, critique and continual improvement to move towards restorative justice. We are committed to an anti-racist, intersectional approach, which is informed by an immersive commitment.

 Although our approach embraces the wellbeing of the individual, we believe in challenging the broader colonial narrative and replacing it with the counterstory. Through a membership-based model we provide spaces, in person and online, where we can confront racist and other oppressive practices through education, capacity building, democratising information and encouraging a transformational, ethical Story Telling and engagement approach.

We aim to create a sustainable, humanistic model which will provide spaces for more voices to be heard, without the compromising conditions generally placed on marginalised groups. We do this through our language of Transformational Ethical Story Telling."

Inclusive recruitment at work guidelines 

In 2022, DCA partnered with Jobsbank to create these evidenced-based inclusive recruitment guidelines.

DCA’s Inclusive Recruitment project is a response to the uncommon times Australia finds itself in: 

• 31% of Australian organisations say they can't find workers to fill jobs
• 3,000,000 Australians are looking for work or want more work

These people are capable, talented, and willing but overlooked by employers. They are most likely to be from marginalised groups, sometimes multiple marginalised groups.  

In this context, Australian organisations need to diversify who and how they hire if they are to meet their workforce needs – tapping into pools of talent typically left off their recruitment radars.  

That’s where Inclusive Recruitment can make a real difference.

How To Talk About Race at Work Principles 

Elemental Resources Website 

Elemental Training programs have been designed to support teachers, home schoolers, youth workers and group facilitators run educational workshops with children and young people. All programs can be delivered in your current learning or play space, and at your own pace.

Elemental programs are different to other nature based or social change programs. The programs blend personal wellness, with earth stewardship and community action based on the understanding that meaningful transformation is based on three principles – care for self, care for earth and care for each other.

The YouTube series Race in Society draws attention to the importance and impact of race and racial issues in modern Australian society. Using a sociological perspective, Race and Society presents these ideas through video discussions between professionals from the health, law, finance, political and media and communications sectors.

Through the use of conversational style videos, the series demonstrates the central role that race and race relations play in perpetuating inequality and discrimination in Australian society.
