A program designed to teach our youth the ancient knowledge of drum making.
COMMUNITY PROJECT
Our Cultural team works closely with Schools and youth coordinators to deliver an amazing program that offers insight into the African culture, arts & crafts, music and way of life. A program designed by us for youth to assist with life stage transitions, mental health, community contact, teamwork and special needs.
In the program, every child is offered the opportunity to create their very own African Djembe Drum. From start to finish each child is given a Djembe shell and all the equipment required to skin and tune a Djembe to completion ready to play. Our instructors encourage the children and guide them along the way, imparting the ancient knowledge of the craft. At the end of the program, our very own master drummer will teach the children how to play the djembe.
This has been a very successful concept adopted by schools for years 6 up to 12, with some Schools offering the program as a rite of passage from Junior School to Upper School or upon their final year.
The children gain an immense sense of achievement, awareness confidence, and knowledge along the way.
Grants may be available for Schools to assist with funding the program.
If you are an educational facility or youth coordinator and interested in obtaining costs and further information please contact us.
