Maifesto Jamaica is a youth- and art-focused NGO based in Kingston, and the participants will be working towards a performance later in the year. After one week of intensive work with the 100 youths, trainers will choose 25 to be involved in a further three weeks or workshops, leading to the performance in December 2014. There are a number of organisations and NGOs working on this project with the hope that a free running culture can be developed and sustained. Find out more about the project on the British Council Caribean site.
