“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.”

“Classroom exchange program: erase the space's flagship program facilitates year-long exchanges between students from racially, economically, and geographically divided school districts across central ohio. In 2025-26, the program served over 1,500 students across 30 exchanges in 14 districts. Each exchange follows a structured arc beginning with written correspondence between students, progressing through facilitated virtual sessions, and culminating in in-person collaborative learning at neutral sites. Exchanges are grounded in contact theory and critical pedagogy, guiding students through collective inquiry around social issues rather than surface-level interaction. The program is supported by a team of seven trained facilitators and operates as a signature outreach program in partnership with ohio state university's college of arts & sciences.”
