OM RAPOLITICS
Rapolitics er en nonprofitorganisation stiftet i Danmark med base på Nørrebro i København. Siden 2009 har vi arbejdet med rap og andre urbane udtryk, demokratisk bevidstgørelse, medborgerskab og samfundsrelateret dialog med unge. Vores vision er at støtte ungdommen i at udtrykke sig og handle på deres holdninger. Vi møder unge i øjenhøjde og bruger hiphop til at relatere faglige emner til deres verdensbillede. Dette gør vi ved at afholde workshops på skoler, gymnasier, ungdomsklubber og andre institutioner for at komme ud og møde de unge dér, hvor de er. Foruden vores workshops, laver vi oplysende og engagerende projekter og afholder events for at skabe opmærksomhed omkring en række politiske emner og sprede positive budskaber gennem rap og hiphop. Vi har arbejdet med rappere, kunstnere og talere fra Iran, Palæstina, Tanzania, Zimbabwe, Cuba, Sydsudan, Grønland, Afghanistan, Indien, Syrien, Bolivia, Mexico, Sverige, Ukraine, Bangladesh og Kenya.
Vi opererer også ude i verden, hvor vi har lavet ungdomsstyrkende projekter i bl.a. Egypten, Sydsudan, Libanon, Bolivia, Jordan, Syrien, Palæstina, Tanzania, Zimbabwe, Grækenland, Sverige og Norge.
Rapolitics består af en bestyrelse, et sekretariat, et rap-coach team og en frivilliggruppe.
