urbanNOISE & Literacy Through Hip Hop Contest
LTHH is offering dynamic workshops for the students of Monsignor Percy Johnson Catholic School. Literacy Through Hip Hop is an innovative literacy program which uses the popular youth culture of hip hop, specifically hip hop music, as a means to engage youth about their reading and writing. Their aim is to improve the literacy skills of youth by connecting it with something that many young people are interested in and excited about.
At the end of these sessions, participants will then get a chance to present their work to a live jury and for a chance to win a spot in the 5th annual urbanNOISE Festival!!!

A co-production between Arts Etobicoke and Expect Theatre, the urbanNOISE Movie Project is a three-year initiative that will involve a selected group of youth to create a series of dramatic scenarios that reflect typical youth crimes in the Rexdale and Jamestown area. Participants will be guided through various exercises that will help them create alternate endings to each storyline. Their goal will be to develop different ways to resolve and diffuse a conflict before it leads to violence. This short movie will be written, directed, videotaped and performed by the youth themselves! Participants will then be trained as youth ambassadors who will travel to high-risk neighbourhoods in the GTA sharing what they learned at different schools and community programs.
