Students participated in a radio program, music production and DJ workshops. The participating students faced social, physical and learning disadvantages and some came from indigenous backgrounds. The program kept students highly engaged and motivated. All the students were determined to learn and succeed in the program.

We at Harbor View Campus have enjoyed working with Urban Movement and highly recommend the Urban Movements Entertainments program for any youth interested and passionate about music and would encourage others to do so

Marc Hawkesworth - Director, Harbor View Campus

Our Youth learnt about how to put together content that was relevant to them, the patience and process of programming the music and content choices, working together as a team and how to seek support on content production from peers and support staff. The final result was a full radio/podcast show that the youth would be able to listen back and enjoy at a future youth drop in session.

We would highly recommend the flexible but also well planned two part workshop from UME and engage with the content in it again in the future. On behalf of MarionLIFE we thank UME for putting together this opportunity, which all of us took something positive away from.

The young people engaged with the Sammy D Foundation, and these Urban Movement Entertainment
Programs, come from a variety of backgrounds with many considered to be ‘at risk’ due to social,
physical and learning disadvantages. The group work folders, radio show and mixes are testament to the
great work undertaken in keeping this diverse group of young people engaged, focused and mentored.
The programs have also offered career options for interested young people and we found have found
Robert to be very personable.

We have enjoyed partnering with Robert and Urban Movement Entertainments on the delivery of these
two programs, and would recommend these programs and the organisation to others looking to offer
engaging and enjoyable programs for young people.

Tiffany Downing - Program Manager, Sammy D Foundation

The Radio Show has given the young men the chance to express their stories both in the community and whilst within the centre. The program has also provided options for career pathways and developed transferable skills and knowledge.

Working with YEC students, we have found Robert to be very flexible and adaptable to the complex needs of our students and our work environment within a secure care facility. We are very happy with the partnership and the results that Urban Movement has achieved for our students. YEC highly recommend the Urban Movement Entertainments program.
