FAQs about Slam Out Loud

What is the belief behind Slam Out Loud?

Fostering voice has always been a valued part of how children learn to imagine what can be, in the place of what is. At Slam Out Loud, our endeavour is to create a nation where every child has a voice, that empowers them to change lives. We believe that when our children are empowered to harness their voices, they can influence issues confronting their communities, bring about a more just and inclusive society, call attention to long standing problems, or otherwise change the world. Supriya, a 15 year old at Slam Out Loud sums it up for us pretty well, "I imagine a future where there will be no boundaries, no borders but one land, one religion, humanity, and love. It'll be a world where everyone understands the real meaning of arts and education."
