The Youths & Hiphop Project is a 3 years skills project which falls under the Uganda Youths Cultures that was drawn by the Danish Centre for Cultural & Development (DCCD), funded by the Royal Danish Embassy, and run by Bayimba Cultural Foundation as its local consultant/implementer. It covers 6 regions of Uganda that Bayimba Cultural Foundation covers.
The aim of this project is to improve and bridge the socio-cultural and economic gap between youths in Uganda. The youths will be supported to acquire arts as well as development and leadership skills that can enhance socio-cultural and economic transformation across diversities.
Since March this year, the project has been carrying out regional workshops in Jinja, Arua, Gulu, Mbarara & Mbale, running for 2 consecutive weeks prior to the Bayimba Regional Festival of the Arts. The artistes / participants have acquired skills in Rap, Breakdance, Deejaying, Song writing & Graffiti Art, and other skills like CV, Profile & Proposal writing. Catch these participants performing live at this year’s Bayimba International Festival Of The Arts.
