Trap Media proudly sponsors this exciting charity event which both celebrates youth dance and raises funds for the humanitarian work of the British Red Cross.

Following the success of ‘Dance for Life’ over the last two years, The British Red Cross is expanding this project across 11 counties and is calling on schools, youth groups and dance schools to join them in one of the biggest celebrations of youth dance.  This exciting opportunity opens dance up to all pupils regardless of their ability as a medium to overcome cultural, social and physical barriers, giving youngsters exclusive performance opportunities they can celebrate with friends, family and their whole community.

The event will help raise money for vulnerable people locally and overseas and Konnie Huq, Blue Peter presenter and ambassador for the charity, is excited about this opportunity to celebrate youth dance.

Konnie said: “Dance for Life offers such a wonderful opportunity for all young people to perform in a fun and friendly environment. Not only will the young performers be exploring the diversity of dance, but it will also give them a greater understanding of the how the Red Cross works with vulnerable people in crisis.” 

We are excited to announce that Trap Media as part of their 2020 Dreams project have sponsored the prizes for this year’s event, which include 2-hour dance workshops, with top artists, in any style of dance for the winning groups.

Trap Media Surprises School festival Rocafella Recording Artists Performance

"Headlining the event as surprise guests will be hip hop artists SAS, who were affiliated with hip hop moguls Jay Z and Damon Dash. They will run music workshops on the day and close the festival with a performance."

Trap Media Creative Arts Agency works to give young people throughout London and England the opportunity to develop their potential and creativity through sustainable partnerships with schools, educational establishments and youth prisons.

A unique partnership between Trap Media and Friern Barnet School has resulted in the support of a new scheme called Footprints. The Footprints campaign is a creative vision to build a community arts centre with dance studios and spaces for arts activities and events.

The building will be a focal point in Friern Barnet and will enable young people, their families, professional artists and businesses to access the arts for education skills, recreational activities and training events. The campaign led by Community Arts Coordinator Torrie Pearson, plans to raise £1 million for the new building.

The next event in line to support the Footprints campaign will be “Frenzy Furzday” on the 20th of July. Professional artists on the day will run workshops ranging from African drumming workshops to street dance workshops, spoken word and drama workshops to the students.

Headlining the event as surprise guests will be hip hop artists SAS, who were affiliated with hip hop moguls Jay Z and Damon Dash. They will run music workshops on the day and close the festival with a performance.

Managing Director of Trap Media, Letise Sampson welcomes the partnership;

“We aim to place creativity and imagination at the centre of teaching and learning, working across the whole community and school curriculum. We work with young people, teachers, parents, volunteers and freelancers to encourage and enable different ways of thinking. We believe that young people today are far more receptive to learning creatively using the arts, than traditional methods, we are here to support that interaction”

Trap Media plans to bring this experience to young people in other educational facilities across the UK. Visit www.trapmedia.com for more information or email info@trapmedia.com.

 

African Drumming Workshops, African Dance Workshops for BHM

 

October will mark another, Black History Month celebrations. Trap Media has exciting new workshops to celebrate Black History Month from.

African Drumming workshops to Brazilian drumming workshops, Afro Brazilian Dance Workshops, Egyptian Dance Workshop, Street Jazz, Music Production, Emceeing & Djing, Drama (Slavery), African Dance Workshops, Contemporary Dance (Slavery) Workshops, Samba Dance Workshops, Rap & Spoken Word, African Jewellery Making Workshops, Mask Making Workshops, Bead Making, Brazilian Caperoia Workshops.

For many Afro-Caribbean children in Britain, Black History Month is a rare chance to learn about their heritage.

Throughout October and the start of November, events are held across the UK to mark the annual celebration.

But Ken Barnes, who runs a charity called the 100 Black Men of London, wants to change this.

"Black history lasts for more than a month," he said. "It should be spread out throughout the year and not just in October - this is something that I am very passionate about."

The 100 Black Men of London was set up in 2001 by Mr Barnes, who runs his own marketing company.

Frustrated by the lack of positive male role models in his local community, and the widely held view that black youngsters under perform in British school, he set up the organisation.
"I wanted to educate youngsters and adults about the contribution that black people have made to this country," said Mr Barnes.

The charity's Education through Film programme exemplifies the organisation's stance as it enables members of the public, from any background, to attend screenings of films which explore aspects of African and Caribbean history throughout the year.

The charity was established as an off-shoot of 100 Black Men of America, which was set up in the 1960s to heighten cultural awareness among Afro-Caribbean communities.

A branch was established in Birmingham in 1997, before Mr Barnes and a group of friends decided to do the same in London.

All its fully-fledged members are men, although women can also participate. But the number 100 is merely seen as a symbolic figure.

"The charity focuses on the contribution made by men. It simply doesn't give men an opportunity to step back," said Mr Barnes, as he explained the organisation's infrastructure.
Over the last three years, a team of around 45 volunteers have held events and mentoring sessions across London to spread this message to thousands of people of all ages.
Under-performing pupils

"Not enough is taught about the history and culture of Afro-Caribbean people in British schools," said Mr Barnes.

"History helps to build up a child's self esteem. They will be stimulated if they see images they can relate to."

The charity is calling for changes in the national curriculum to reflect the increasing diversity of the UK's population.

In 2002, only 30% of all black pupils got five or more good GCSEs (grades A* to C), compared to a national average of 51%.

And black pupils are around three times more likely than white pupils to be excluded from school.

Links have also be drawn with the lack of teachers from ethnic minorities.

In September a report by the Education Commission concluded that a third of London teachers and school governors need to be black or Asian in order to help improve the achievement of black children.
The report said that in 2003, 2.9% of teachers in London schools were black, compared to 19.6% of children.

The 100 Black Men, which attained charity status in September, runs a mentoring project in a number of schools around London.

Over a four-month period, volunteers visit pupils at school to organise activities, such as talks, videos and role-playing on issues ranging from peer pressure and the importance of education to the role played by Afro-Caribbean's in British culture.

John Radcliffe is the head teacher at North Brook Church of England school, in Lewisham, south London.

Last year Mr Radcliffe, 50, took up the charity's offer to mentor pupils at the school, aged between 12 and 14.

He said: "We were keen to take part because there were concerns about a group of young children at the school - many of whom didn't have any aims or aspirations.

Noticeable improvements

"We wanted to get them motivated to learn by getting them to listen to people they could relate to who would act as role models."

And Mr Radcliffe, who has been the head for four years, was pleased with the results.
He said: "There were noticeable improvements.

"That year group has gone on to perform well in Stage Three exams, particularly maths and English, and their behaviour has improved.

"The mentors have a way of reaching out to young people which motivates them, turns them back to learning and raises their sense of self worth."

Year 10 pupil Michael Bishop, 15, took part in scheme last year and mentors have made follow-up visits since.

Self belief

He said: "The sessions made me believe in myself. I realised that I could be anything I wanted to be.

"I really enjoyed the mentoring. They had a way of talking to us which wasn't patronising and I learnt a lot.

Another mentee, 15 year-old Corrine Lindo, said: "The experience helped me to focus on school and what I can do after that. My grades have improved since the sessions and now I know that I eventually want to train to be a psychiatrist.

Corrine added: "There definitely isn't enough black history taught at school. We briefly looked at slavery, and that was all.

"I would like to learn more about my ancestors."
If the 100 Black Men have their way, this wish could become a reality.
