AKIM: The Hip Hop Huis and Daniel from Graffiti Netwerk NL organized a trip to Den Haag to visit the local Hip Hop Center. It was a great experience and it was interesting to see how successful the organizers of this center create even with small budgets a great program for the kids.

The managers of this Center grew also up with Hip Hop Culture so I guess there is the difference compared to regular Youth Center.
