“I had lots of ideas for different ways for adults to have fun in the streets. Climbing lampposts, running up walls, throwing helicopter seeds and bounding up steps like an animal. All of these things would be good to do on the tour.” – Gafar, The Street Training blog

“It’s really a good experience. It’s nice to try to communicate with people in a different way. It’s nice to know that people on the other side of the world are, like, normal people… I have been to America but it’s not quite the same. You don’t get to know them; you see them briefly in shops and stuff. We actually got to know them on a personal level which is nice and interact with them. I look forward to doing it again; I really look forward to doing the live mixing at Watershed.” – Young participant from The Basement, Bristol
Participants: 15 young people from Tottenham; young people from Wood Green Playstation; 25 young people in The Basement, Bristol and The Point, in the Bronx, New York
