ABOUT GENERATION HIP HOP

Generation Hip Hop is a global, youth empowerment and development program, initiated by the Universal Hip Hop Museum, and the Africa Rising Foundation. The aim is to establish satellite Non profit organisations, under one Hip Hop brand, across the world.

To date, twenty one countries have enlisted, and the ambassadors, are in the process of nominating their committees. These entities will comprise of influential artists, performers and intellectuals from all elements of Hip Hop. They are all, invested and committed to the aims of GHH.
GHH will become an influential movement in the new global village. Youth of today especially, need empowerment through something they can relate to, and believe in. GHH aims to harness the progressive talent of otherwise disenfranchised youth, into a collective, dynamic and productive international program, guided by a central committee.

The aims of the program initially will be to set up infrastructures to deal with the symptoms of the world as it is. Our network will enable us to set up pre structured and designed community arts workshops, youth empowerment initiatives, co operative events, programs for conflict resolution, hunger alleviation, edutainment, and especially, refugee assistance.

I am the New Zealand manager

I was so lucky being asked to be the New Zealand Manager for Generation Hip Hop. I am working on building the team at the moment & developing programs!

Does anyone else on Steemit work with youth or refugees?

Peace for now
