Mission and Program Overview
Mission
Erase the space facilitates year-long exchanges between students from racially, economically, and geographically divided school districts, building cross-community relationships and advancing educational equity across central ohio. Through structured exchanges - beginning with written correspondence and culminating in collaborative in-person learning at neutral sites - students develop authentic cross-community relationships while engaging deeply with questions of justice, equity, and civic life.
The mission of erase the space is to connect students, teachers, and communities in a collaborative, non-competitive exchange over the course of a school year. We seek to provide authentic experience with difference and debate that mirrors the problem-solving situations found in life outside of the classroom. By engaging young people in exchanges early in their high school careers, we believe students will be better prepared to take on the most pressing social challenges and issues facing our city and nation with empathy and collaboration.
