The Hip Hop Re:Education Project is a New York-based creative youth development organization that engages communities in the artistic processes of Hip Hop culture, inspiring them to transform their world. During the post-industrial decline of New York City, Hip Hop's pioneers used the Elements (MCing, DJing, beatboxing, breakdancing, and graffiti art) to counteract gang violence and drug use and build positive life-affirming community. The HHRP similarly uses an interdisciplinary approach to teaching and learning that gets back to those roots. Utilizing the elements themselves as pedagogy, youth are encouraged to commit to a craft, invest in the creative process and develop solutions for the problems facing today's world.
