Hiphop For Society, an annual event that uses popular interest in Hiphop to create positive social change, was successfully held on Sunday afternoon at Sharing Youth Centre, Nsambya.
Held under the theme ‘cooperation’, the 9th annual event attracted a mixed crowd of different ages, races, economic, cultural and educational backgrounds. Not only did Hiphop For Society entertain the crowd, but it gave people an opportunity to network and learn from each other.
“The most important part of this event is not hiphop,” explained Abramz Tekya, Founder and Director of Breakdance Project Uganda. “We want to make sure people get access to information. We partner with organizations that youth do not think are cool, because they are important for development.”
The event was a mix of entertaining dance, rap and beat-boxing performances, competitions, and educational workshops and talks by partnering NGOs.
The event was sponsored by Breakdance Project Uganda, French Embassy, Gagawala Graphics, Talent Africa, Whitehead Communications, YAEP, and Ziva Muntuuyo clothing.
