Vision

• Unite
  • unite young people across London from different cultural and social backgrounds.
  • Reduce the risk of social exclusion within the youth sector and instil a sense of appreciation for their differences, whatever they are.

 

• Inspire
  • inspire young people to build a community together. UDM is the opportunity for them to raise their levels of achievement and self-confidence.
  • This is done by providing attainable goals within an expressive art form and within a ‘safe’ learning environment.

 

• Participate
  • enable school groups to participate in a project larger than themselves.
  • The students’ work is put into perspective when they take part in high quality performances around the continent.

 

• Create
  • Create the new generation of samba enthusiasts with the potential to feed into the vibrant adult samba community in London.
  • Gain a cultural understanding and appreciation of samba as a carnival art form and its value as a learning medium.
