Summary
I am a member of the Muslim community in Norwich. There is growing problem in our community where a group of boys, who initially came together to make music, are now being falsely labelled as a criminal gang.
Due to this false impression of the group there is now a real intensity between them, the Police and the wider community which has caused needless problems for our community as a whole.
We want to solve this problem before it's too late. By using positive music and media we aim to improve relationships, challenge stereotypes and bring the community back together.

The demonising of young people - particularly those who are identifiable as different continues to occur -turning this into a positive is a valuable opportunity so has my vote

Great work and it is inportant to see young people engaged in positive role modeling for younger ones to follow. Want to make society better? get involved. Sport is always a good medium to score goals on integrating culture.
Well done

Hi
I am an industry experienced Producer (11years) and fully support this scheme from Norwich as it is vibrant and fresh. If i was approached in my workplace i would approve funding/pilot this scheme due to it being a dynamic opportunity to form better relations between police and different cultures. At a time of rising Racism it is well needed.
it tick all the boxes needed for prototype funding.
kind regards,

Well done Luqman, you show the initiative, which should be being taken by others with direct responsibility for this. I support what you are doing and believe in what you are trying to achieve. It is the right thing to do and you are doing it in the right way by getting people involved from alll different backgrounds the chance of success is increased.

Well done Luqman, for bring out isues that concern the community as a whole, into a devate that make as think, if we are doing enough to channge or challenge then.

We will have a happier communities leaving together in harmony.

I think it is important that young people are given the opportunities to express themselves in various forms. I think this project could bridge a vital gap within different communities in helping them understand that just because something is different it is not threatening

I am voting my support for Luqman Heron.

Music is a great communicator which can send the right messages out to the community. Luqman has a tough task here, but it seems that there is a strong motivator beyond just creating entertainment. There comes a time when the wider communi
