Roots of Reggae is a social enterprise that will bring together people from different generations and backgrounds to develop a shared appreciation of reggae music and culture. Roots of Reggae will will highlight and honour the contribution older generations have made to reggae and provide an inclusive space for people of all ages to meet and socialise over some great music. In doing so, Roots of Reggae provides a positive, creative solution to a number of complex social challenges, including: - Social isolation and Depression - Lower levels of participation in cultural activities amongst older people - (Lack of) understanding and respect between generations, exemplified by older people's fear of younger people and negative stereotyping of both older and younger people. - Levels of positive contact between people from different backgrounds
