Creative Arts Project

The REKON- Creative Arts Project will provide youth with skill development opportunities in the areas of:

​

  • Music production and recording

  • Graffiti Art

  • T-Shirt design and Printing.

  • Event planning

Each workshop will be delivered by skilled Arts facilitators.

The project will showcase the art created by the youth through:

  • Recorded songs

  • Music videos

  • Canvas art display

  • Fashion show for T-Shirt designs

 

The strength of the project will be the capacity of the team of Arts facilitators and volunteers to engage and motivate disadvantaged young people and its ability to provide them with the material and social support needed to actualise ideas and ambitions.
