About
The ConsiousFlowz mission is to motivate youth to create a better world by forming new interactive programs that use music to teach leadership skills, encourage independent thinking, and educate youth about social issues. The youth of South Africa are the focus of the ConsciousFlowz project called "Conscious Connectionz".
South Africa is experiencing one of the most severe HIV/AIDS pandemics in the world. There are two ways to to fight the spead of this disease: medicine and prevention.
ConsciousFlowz is combating the HIV/AIDS pandemic in South Africa by implementing a creative program that will use Hip-hop music to educate Cape Town's youth, stimulate their critical thinking skills, and challenge them to alter their beliefs and behaviors regarding HIV. Although sometimes viewed in a negative light, Hip-hop has appealed to youth worldwide and has both inspired them and given them an opportunity to express themselves.
