College Awareness Initiative
“
…that is why it is so important to invest in education. The rate of return is a world of peace.”
Our mission is to spearhead an education outreach campaign revolving around the MUSICA festival which motivates target audiences through Hip Hop with the tools to work effectively towards higher education. This is part of an overall communications strategy to raise awareness and increase public support amongst underserved communities. The MUSICA Festival will be designed to blend pop-culture, educational, and entertainment styles to enhance appeal to a wide range of audiences.
Our Objectives:
- Build awareness of the importance of college preparedness
- Learn through music (Hip Hop) how to use education as a tool to help youth succeed and excel in academic environments
- Increase understanding of the importance of education and the entertainment business
