Around the World in 80 Raves

War & Conflict

Mar 8

Supporting music developments in places of conflict

2021 saw the first edition of Around the World in 80 Raves as a sponsored activity challenge meets global rave; money raised supported two amazing music developments in São Paulo, Brazil and Cape Town, South Africa.

With live events back in full force, we are partnering with some of the best venues and festivals around the world raising money for IPOW's #HackMusic Catalyst Fund, supporting the development of music makers around the world - particularly in communities facing challenges of conflict, poverty and lack of opportunities and infrastructure.

For every £1 raised for the fund, £14 is leveraged in wrap around support

(through capacity building, education, training, equipment, mentoring and sustainable development opportunities).

Network development via our 130 grassroots change-maker organisations - keeping them connected and sharing methodologies.
Capacity building through our University certified creative entrepreneurship programmes, sharing entrepreneurial ideas with our grassroots change-makers so they can develop the most robust and relevant models for sustainable, impactful organisations in the most challenging contexts in the world.
