We are honoured to announce that this year’s Kep Enderby Memorial oration will be delivered by Ellen Van Neerven, an award-winning writer of Mununjali (Yugambeh language group – South East Queensland) and Dutch heritage. Ellen's latest ground-breaking book “Personal Score: Sport, Culture, Identity”, raises important questions about the relationships between race, gender, identity and playing sport on stolen, sovereign land. Join us on Tuesday 31 October to listen to Ellen deliver what we know will be a thought-provoking oration: https://events.humanitix.com/racism-in-sport-kep-enderby-memorial-lecture-2023

As the referendum approaches, we are encouraging people to take part in the process.

In May, Commonwealth Games Australia (CGA) announced its commitment to reconciliation and support of the Voice to Parliament.

The Voice to Parliament presents all Australians with a once-in-a-generation opportunity to walk alongside First Nations people.

Racism in sport at both elite and grassroots levels is all too common and limits participation by people from minority ethnic groups. strategies have been implemented in professional sport, however there was a lack of evidence for effective anti-racism interventions in community and junior sport.

The STARS - Standing Together Against Racism in Sport project emerged with the aim of co-developing an anti-racism intervention led by the The University of Melbourne, in partnership with Welcoming Clubs Merri Health Merri-bek City Council Centre for Multicultural Youth (CMY) and a number of sports clubs.

This Upstander video shares an important message around the active approach all citizens must have towards racism.

We are grateful to Merri-bek City Council for their funding support, the Youth Health promotion team Merri Health for their partnership in producing the video and to our film stars and supporters from Fawkner Soccer Club, Youlden Parkville Cricket Club and Black Rhinos Basketball - Afri-Aus Care Inc.
