BLOCK LABS
Block Labs is an online learning platform that combines tutorials, interactive podcasts, social online events, and training in Hip Hop disciplines: rap, graffiti, DJing, and breakdance.
When the COVID-19 crisis forced Denmark into lockdown, Tuborgfondet funded initiatives to create digital social communities for young people. In response, we launched Block Labs in collaboration with the organization Sketch & Scratch.
The result was an online learning platform and digital community where young people across the country could find tutorials and workshops in dance, rap, DJing, and graffiti, participate in livestreamed concerts, and listen to podcasts.

BLOCKCAST
BlockCast was created in response to the loneliness exacerbated by the pandemic. Even before COVID-19, loneliness was a pressing issue for young people in Denmark. Statistics from the Danish Health Authority show that around 120,000 young Danes frequently or always feel lonely. Hosts Nicklas Bertelsen and Rune Rim led a podcast series that, unlike the other labs focused on creative skills, provided a space for deep conversations about loneliness and mental health.
