Reaching Gang Culture

[vodpod id=Video.5449402&w=425&h=350&fv=%26rel%3D0%26border%3D0%26]

I just watched this video and was totally blown away by it!

‘Regenerate’ are really transforming lives and rebuilding communities!

As you know, we formed a project back in the year 2000 called ‘The DREAM Project;’ now simply known as ‘DREAM’.

We began in inner-city Nottingham (Meadows), working with young people, their families and communities. The project involved emcee, DJ and urban arts workshops, we took it to the streets, we took it to the schools, we opened our homes and shared life and food and engaged in many other crazy ideas to reach youth and their families in the area!

Since then, the project has expanded to other areas of the city of Nottingham, particularly inner-city communities and estates.

But this morning, I came across this video…and these guys in London are doing all that we have ever dreamed of and more!

Imagine if a Youth Revolution like this took place all over the Nation of Britain and beyond! A huge network, a radical Youth Movement that turns our cities and estates upside down!

Imagine the inner-city streets buzzing with life and creativity (not death and destruction)…where drug-dealers become God’s preachers, prostitutes become God’s daughters, those coming out of prison turn whole communities around!

Anyone else out there doing this sort of work?

Let’s link and change the nation!

  1. THIS IS WHAT IT’S ALL ABOUT! TEARS IN MY HEART COMING THROUGH MY EYES AS I WATCHED! THERE IS HOPE IS NAME IS JESUS!!!!

  2. wow…that’d be wonderful – a network all over the UK. Yes, an inspiring video and what an inspirational idea to take youth out of their environment to help others less fortunate. Must take some money though……
