Master Event NBL - The Netherlands
On November 20th NBL (Nederlandse Breaking League) organized a great event where dancing is performed at a high level. Children and young people from all layers of society, with an enormous diversity of origins, come together here. Battles are danced all day long. Street art, hiphop dancing classes and graffity workshops were given by a few artists with a heart for art, culture, and creativity. ‘Street art connects people, and you can see that happening during such an event’, says Jan-Henk from Kings of Colour.
‘Whether through a graffiti demonstration or by giving a graffiti workshop. You have immediate results by involving adults and children in the creative process. What seems impossible to an outsider, you make possible in an accessible way. Get creative together and make something to be proud of’. The Royal Talens Foundation contributed this event by sponsoring several materials.
The event was a huge success! There were so many applications that several children themselves worked on one canvas.
