RPYC Drum Core

The Roxborough Police Youth Club’s Culture Training Initiative 2025: “Youths In Rhythm” seeks funding to conduct structured training sessions in Cultural Arts Education to our youth club members. 

The initiative will introduce structured training sessions facilitated by a professional drumming instructor, aimed at teaching traditional West African and Caribbean drumming styles. This training will not only enhance musical skills but also preserve traditional rhythms and cultural heritage while preparing drummers to perform at community, cultural, and tourism events.

Our initiatives are also used as an anti-crime initiative, as it encourages the positive use of leisure time amongst young persons, thus deterring them from being involved in criminal activities.

Tobago is the hub for tourism, and culture plays a significant role in enhancing the tourism experience. The rich African culture from the diaspora offers a unique and vibrant way of showcasing our cultural art forms to both visitors and citizens alike. Through drumming and other traditional expressions, this initiative not only preserves our heritage but also strengthens Tobago’s identity as a cultural destination.
