MPR Expression Sessions

A project by Global Education Derby

MPR Expression Sessions

Using an interest in hip hop music, graffiti and street dance to re-engage disaffected young people in learning and positive social action. The origins of hip hop in civil rights, cultural reporting and community solidarity are explored as a way of challenging the misogyny, homophobia, and gang culture now such a feature of the genre. Participants get the opportunity and creative support to produce their own music, graffiti and dance to showcase their new learning.

Why they need our service

Growing problems with youth unemployment, gang culture and drug use have created a growing sense of divide, fear and resentment between generations. This project provides a diversion from anti-social activity, the opportunity for young people to gain confidence and learn new skills, and the opportunity for the community to witness young people in positive roles.

Plan and expected results

The project has helped young people turn their lives around. They learn to listen to other people, manage their feelings and develop the resilience to see an activity through to the end - all of which help with their job search and improve relationships with family and the wider community
