Every week there are stories to share about where we’re at and what has been happening on the ground – and in the air for that matter! We were involved with a local event showcasing local brands, our participants have been actively working on their Dream Project for 2015 and above all we’ve been skating and progressing!
Local Scene was an event organised by Clock Art Events showcasing local talent and clothing brands, creating a much needed platform for artists, designers and entrepreneurs in Cape Town. Rayne Moses, Nebula’s founding director, MC’d the event, highlighting and acknowledging what it takes to start a brand in South Africa – it ain’t easy! But with a Nebula Skate of Mind, all is possible!
The Dream Project for Nebula Youth this year is for everyone to own their own skateboard and visit one skatepark every month. The fundamental shift in our approach this time around is that, as an organisation, we are not doing the planning and organising. Our participants are taking ownership, responsibility and initiative to realise their dream for 2015! We look forward to supporting them in this process and witnessing the learning and growth that will be, and is already, taking place!
It isn’t news that skateboarding forms part of the foundation of Nebula… Nothing brings more fulfillment than seeing the joy that a skateboard brings to the lives of the kids that we work with! Witnessing their progression makes it even more exciting as we know that these guys are the ones that are going to be in skate magazines and videos, inspiring the next generation of skateboarders to go to the next level. This is a movement that we are proud to be a part of!
There are various ways in which you can share this journey with us! You can volunteer, share our story and support our crowdfunding campaign to be launched in the month of May! Most importantly, you can simply live life with a Nebula Skate of Mind! Until next time, keep pushing and grinding with purpose!
