Welcome to Project Bantu, we are a social and cultural programme that introduces the Brazilian art of Capoeira Angola to young people from Aboriginal and Refugee backgrounds as well as youth at risk in general. These groups have often experienced high levels of trauma, many have witnessed violence directly or indirectly - Capoeira Angola empowers these young people and supports their ability to succeed and face the challenges of life.
We work in partnership with organisations, youth centres and others service providers to bring healing to young people in Australia and New Zealand.
