Safety (ECM agenda)

After reading brilliant reviews about the DJ & MC Academy, it was absolutely fantastic to actually have them present in school! They spoke about the culture of rapping and MC’ing….and the importance of turning negative lyrics into positive ones…and they (in a very thought proving and engaging manner!) talked about positive images especially in the public domain eg: Facebook and YouTube. Words can’t being to describe how fantastically inspiring this presentation was! Check them out: http://djandmcacademy.com/

We also had a representative from The Robert Levy Foundation in to speak about safety – turning away from knife (or any other form of crime) and chasing your dreams. The inspirational and motivating speaker, Mark One (http://www.markone.tv/) talked about staying away from negative influences. In this he shared his own story and is living proof to young people that if you work hard – you can make it!

All in all, a great session. I would highly recommend both groups and I feel that they work very well together, an excellent balance!
