About the project:

Root Alternative ASBL, a non-governmental organization working for the promotion and implementation of sociocultural programmes focusing on the Congolese hip-hop scene, proposes to structure Kinshasa’s urban cultures by: (1) identifying urban culture stakeholders in Kinshasa and listing existing disciplines, in order to bring together formal groupings; (2) strengthening the capacity of urban culture stakeholders; (3) establishing a coordination platform representing all disciplines of urban cultures; (4) developing a road map for the establishment of a house of urban cultures in Kinshasa (MCUK).

 

How does this project contribute to the implementation of the 2005 Convention?

The project will also enable the established sub-structures to jointly develop coherent strategies for their respective disciplines. 
  • Addresses capacity development needs relating to creation, production and distribution - The project will enable the development of a comprehensive catalogue of the stakeholders of urban cultures in Kinshasa and their disciplines in order to provide adequate training and networking.
