The traditional media of Australia has been driving a
message of blame and fear on the immigrant and refugee population of this
country. The attitudes and emotions towards these groups by the general society
have reached extreme levels of negativity across a large emotional spectrum.
RE:MAP provides an alternative to this negative labelling,
and is a program designed to reorientate the country’s emotional spectrum to
positive feelings. Stories bring about understanding that lessens emotions like
fear, blame and anger. A personal connection means that these changes occur on
an individual level, slowly bringing about change in the entire community.
