Schools, NDIS and Community Programs

We have been providing programs in schools, community and NDIS aimed at young people with engagement, mental health and wellbeing, learning and physical disabilities and barriers to access due to CALD background since 2014. We offer educational (SACE) accredited programs in SA and working on VCAL in Victoria, that can lead to employment pathways in the arts.

Our vision is to be able to offer all young South Australians and Victorians the opportunity to express themselves and engage with the wider community, achieving outcomes beneficial to themselves in terms of wellbeing and support their growth as mentors and inspiration to others.

Our mission is to engage with as many young people as possible using technology to achieve our vision of creating opportunities for tomorrow’s leaders.

Our primary beneficiaries are young people who present with social engagement, educational disengagement, mental health and learning disability issues. We offer culturally specific programs to multicultural communities and Indigenous groups too. Our beneficiaries tend to be in metropolitan Adelaide and Melbourne, however we are willing to engage regional programs in both states.

Our major programs span across school, NDIS and community groups in South Australia and Victoria. Our most successful and ever evolving programs are our Black Boys to Black Men Program which looks at issues that present from school, home or within the community and we address these concerns from a culturally specific perspective and offer these young men mentoring around safe spaces, managing expectation, hard and soft outcomes, achievable goals and the support to achieve these goals whilst still connecting to community.

Our other success story is our Nunga Leadership in Music Program which engages young Aboriginal men (at this stage) who have an active interest and current participation in the music industry and supports both their social and industry engagement in a professional manner. The tools we provide enable these young men to self manage themselves whilst being mentored by Urban Movement Ents. This has seen performances at a regional school for NAIDOC Week, the recent OzAsia Festival 2021, Adelaide Oval, the Lab on Light Square (performance venue in the city) and upcoming events for Carclew and venues in the CBD. The exposure has led to engagement and a Cyher Showcase partnership on Fresh927 and interviews on Radio Adelaide.
