Generation of Change
Since 2014 Reconciliation South Australia and ActNow Theatre have been delivered a program called Generation of Change to over 1,600 students, 340 teachers and 261 schools throughout South Australia.
The Generation of Change program incorporates ActNow Theatre’s interactive Forum Theatre performance Responding to Racism which also provides a focus on addressing, preventing and building resilience against racism and explores the abilities of an individual to respond to racism on an interpersonal level.
The success and impact of the Generation of Change program has been recognised on a national scale, receiving two consecutive finalist nominations for the Australian Rights Commission ‘Racism. It Stops With Me’ Award in 2017 and 2018.
“ActNow is able to break down the taboo around racist language, it is upfront and doesn’t hide what takes place around us.”
“The impact from this year’s congress has been profound. It is the first congress I have been for and it has helped me highlight the effect of racism on society.”

Reconciliation South Australia
Reconciliation South Australia is a not-for-profit organisation that promotes the people’s movement for reconciliation at a state level. Their work focuses on creating environments in which Aboriginal people can meet their full potential. As a rights-based organisation, taking a strong stand against racism is fundamental to being able to build a harmonious and safe community for all South Australians.
Responding to Racism
Teaching audiences how to identify, respond to, and prevent racism, Responding to Racism explores how racism affects people on a daily basis. Featuring a culturally diverse cast, the performance provides the audience with strong role models and aims to help participants identify various forms of racism and provides prevention strategies.
