At Navigators, we provide a free weekly drop-in creative program designed for young people who are looking for opportunities to connect, engage in conversations, and explore music creation and related art forms. Through our weekly check-ins, we aim to facilitate meaningful connections and collaborative projects.
Our program includes a range of activities such as Talanoa (group discussions), guest speaker sessions, writing and recording projects, professional development, cypher shoots and live showcase events, offering a diverse platform for building networks, skill enhancement and performance practice. With a focus on engaging with youth, we prioritise the establishment of connections through shared experiences, stories, and creative expression.
