This collaborative international exchange program engages underserved communities in six countries around the world and uses artistic collaboration and social engagement to enhance people-to-people diplomacy, especially among young audiences. Using multi-disciplinary hip hop collaborations, this unique arts-based exchange explores and addresses conflict resolution strategies by sending up to 20 American beat makers, DJs, B-Boys/B-Girls (or experts of other types of hip hop dance), or MCs in teams of 5 artists to lead four- to six-week exchange programs in various countries. Overseas programming will include but is not limited to: workshops, master classes, community performances, and outreach activities.
The Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA) invites you to attend a special “cypher” performance featuring cultural ambassadors from the State Department-sponsored Next Level program. The cypher will feature hip-hop artists from across the United States in an improvised jam session featuring rap, break dance, and beatboxing.
Students participating in a new speaker series at Pitt Community College got to meet former NBA star Blue Edwards and hear him share his story of success.
Edwards, who played professionally for 12 years after being selected in the first round of the 1989 NBA Draft, spoke at Pitt Wednesday as part of the PCC Minority Male Success Initiative’s “Securing the Bag: Black Males and Workforce Development” speaker series. Each month, the series features successful black males from the community discussing their personal and professional journeys.
As October’s featured speaker, Edwards discussed challenges he overcame in high school and college on his way to success. He recalled being in his mid-teens when he made up his mind that he was going to play in the NBA and began working to achieve that goal. Since he didn’t have a basketball hoop at home, he’d jog down the street to a neighbor’s house and use her goal to practice on.
Edwards, a former East Carolina University basketball standout, told students they can expect to face adversity in life. He then challenged them to believe in themselves and use the hardships they encounter to grow and get better.
