[.white] WORKSHOPS [.white]

[.white] At 100 rap workshops nationwide, Rapolitics' rap coaches bring the three themes, Re: Claim Your Body, Re:Claim Your Voice and Re: Claim Your Home, out into the classrooms of elementary schools, high schools, vocational schools, and manufacturing schools. A five-hour workshop is facilitated by two rap coaches and consists of theoretical elements as well as practical and physical exercises in which students discuss, reflect on, and work on one of the themes. After this, students are taught rhythm, rhyme and language tools, and given the tools to write and perform their own rap on the theme. [.white]

[.white] Rapolitics has great success in engaging diverse youth through rap workshops — from the most diligent to the most unengaged and academically challenged learners. The rap aspect motivates students to immerse themselves in the content, and in this way some of the most at-risk youth get a success experience that resonates within them. They gain increased self-esteem, feel that their voice is important and believe more in themselves, which in turn strengthens their prerequisites for acquiring new knowledge. The workshop participants will not only be informed about human rights, but will also have to take stock of their own opinions and wishes for a good society, as well as communicate their messages. [.white]

[.white] In addition to the workshop program, 10 classes will have the opportunity to record their rap on human rights in a professional mobile recording studio. In addition to providing the finished songs to the class's students and teachers, they are uploaded on Rapolitics' media channels as a unified rap album about human rights. [.white]

[.white] ROSKILDE FESTIVAL [.white]

[.white] In 2023 and 2024 we will establish a Re:ACT area at Roskilde Festival with a programme over three days. The area will be an experimental platform where young, Danish artists and international rap artists come together to explore the potential of music to promote human rights. Through hip hop, we highlight the human rights struggles of artists in a way that moves, inspires and motivates the audience to understand and relate to the themes and messages that music brings. [.white]

[.white] At Roskilde Festival 2023, festival guests on the Re:ACT stage could experience rap, talks, panel debates, performances and workshops spread over 18 acts, all of whom in their own way fight for their own and others' rights. One could meet, among others, the Indian rapper [.white] [.white] Cranberry [.white][.white], who fights against patriarchy in India and raps for equality. The Cuban rapper [.white] [.white] David D Omni [.white][.white], who raises his voice for free speech and talks about the consequences of the censorship he is subjected to in Cuba. And you could experience the youtuber [.white] [.white] Cover [.white] [.white] break down well-known hip-hop verses and debate messages and style with the artists behind. [.white]

[.white] Roskilde Festival is an exceptional opportunity to create social and attitudinal change among young people. Their lives are already in “study mode”, but here there is a unique framework for social innovation: both openness to new impressions and a shift in the rules of interaction. It creates a at once relatable and completely different access for the festival goers. At the festival, Re:Act therefore meets young people in a very special context. Through rap performances, talks and creative workshops, the goal is to plant an interest or a budding engagement with our audience. [.white]

[.white] RE:CLAIM FESTIVAL [.white]

[.lightbox] In 2023 and 2024, we will establish a one-day festival in Copenhagen, where we will highlight political rappers and activist hip-hop artists who will put their own human rights struggles on the agenda. Here we invite you to concerts, talks, panel debates and workshops to make young people more aware of their own and others' rights. The festivals will be free to attend so all young people, regardless of social background, have the opportunity to attend. Re:Claim Festival 2023 was held at Guldbergsgade in Nørrebro on 2 September in collaboration with [.lightbox] [.white] RUST [.white] [.lightbox] and [.lightbox] [.white] Affiliated [.white][.lightbox]. [.lightbox] [.lightbox] Here, the thousands of attendees could experience rappers and speakers like [.lightbox] [.white] Karen Mukupa [.white][.lightbox], [.lightbox] [.white] Pede B [.white][.lightbox], [.lightbox] [.white] Kaka [.white][.lightbox], [.lightbox] [.white] Mouth De Carlo [.white][.lightbox], [.lightbox] [.white] William Korte [.white][.lightbox], [.lightbox] [.white] Elijah Kashmir [.white] [.lightbox] et al. [.lightbox]

[.white] PODCAST [.white]

In the podcast Rap, created in collaboration with Rapolitics, the Institute for Human Rights and Roskilde Festival, host Manus Bell and co-host Mads Lemmike talk every Wednesday with a Danish rapper who has something on his heart about rap, rights and justice.

Among other things, hear Ataf talk about the political climate as a brown Dane in the late 00's after 9/11 and the Mohammed crisis, or NØX's frustration and amazement at always having to be branded as a womanizer instead of just a rapper. All conversations are based on a specific number from the guest, and a love of activism, empowerment and of course the good rap lyrics.

The podcast is supported by Tuborg Fondet and Open-Puljen.
