OUR PROGRAMMES

Teaching Hip Hop is about empowering disenfranchised youth through the different genres encompassed in the culture of Hip Hop.

Hip Hop is a vibrant living global movement with its roots in the Bronx area of New York...

It encompasses all that the youth of today are aspiring to and carries out the message of PEACE UNITY and LOVE.

It is a movement that encourages creativity and empowers the youth to bring out their voice and make their mark in creating a better world.

Being part of a global community gives unprecedented power and reach when making their voices heard.

We believe that children should be prepared for a future that will compete with computers... they should not be spoon fed with useless boring facts but rather how to think creatively and process the ever growing overload of information that is now readily available on internet.

We need leaders who can think broader than their own micro environment - who can see the bigger picture - that communities all over the world are struggling with the same issues, and that STANDING TOGETHER is a very empowering tool to bringing about change.

Future winners will be the ones with a broad perspective combined with logical and creative thinking skills...

self discipline and good work ethics and people skills

ie LIFE SKILLS.

Our programmes therefore are meant to inspire and enrich...

to build self esteem, mutual

respect and a positive outlook...

to encourage a journey of self discovery, of learning new skills and making positive choices

while showing understanding

and compassion for others.

Our focus is also on getting children involved in positive activities to serve as alternatives for the many negative influences in their environments and to create a happy safe environment away from home.

Sadly our beautifull facilities have had to close down as that part of our building was sold. We have created a new space sharing facility together with another NPO on our premises - Dash Leopards - run by Ricardo Philips. We also operate a daily nutrition programme from our "Space Cafe" restaurant area enthusiastically managed by Lecreashia which is available to all our affiliated NPO's.

We currently still have around 50 children through our doors every day attending classes, enjoying our welcoming happy safe environment, Wi-Fi facilities, homework assistance and meals.

Our centre is open five days a week from 10am till 6pm
and we currently offer the following weekly classes:
