KWASAY UK meets weekly at St John the Divine.

KAWSAY UK YOUTH PROJECT

KAWSAY UK is a non-profit community of children and young people dedicated to fostering

participation, integration, and development of children, young people, and their families

through various cultural, sports, and social activities.

My goal as the founder and mentor, with experience collaborating in diverse dance

communities of adults, children, and young people, has allowed me to see the need for

greater unity and integration among youth and children within different activities in the

community.

Based on this, we seek to promote unity, creativity, and well-being among young people

through dance, sports, crafts, companionship, solidarity, and motivation.

Through dance, we encourage creativity in artistic expression, motivating participants to get

involved in the creation of choreographies, costumes, and decorations that reflect their

identity and talent.

Mental and Emotional Benefits

Participating in a group offers multiple benefits for personal and emotional development:

● Reduction of stress and anxiety: Dance and movement help release physical and

mental tension.

● Improved mood: It promotes joy, positive energy, and a sense of belonging.

● Memory and concentration: Learning and remembering choreographies stimulates

new neural connections, strengthening the mind.

● Self-esteem and confidence: Mastering new movements and expressing oneself

freely reinforces personal confidence.

Our Mission

At KAWSAY UK, we believe in the power of unity and integration, and in dance, art, and

sports as tools for social transformation. Our mission is to provide a space, time, and tools

where every child and young person can grow, learn, share, and shine, feeling part of a large

community.

KAWSAY UK: a community that inspires, unites, and transforms.

KAWSAY UK will also promote unity by strengthening bonds between young people and

older adults, seeking to raise awareness, create harmony, and give value to those who have

already walked the path that our children are just beginning. Additionally, we will have the

support of institutions with experience working with children and young people, as well as

professional staff who are willing to support us in the work we are doing.

Sincerely,

Guadalupe Espinoza

Founder and Director
