Student of Life is a creative arts company using Hip Hop culture to engage young people in education. We make learning fun and engaging with Rap and Poetry workshops in Primary and Secondary Schools. SOL was founded by critically acclaimed Hip Hop MC and workshop facilitator, BREIS (breeze).

We currently offer a range of initiatives to key stages 2,3 and 4 (7 - 14 years old). The first are Positive Rap Workshops that show students how to write their own raps and poems with positive themes. Students take part in games and exercises that give writing and performance tips and in the process develop confidence in their own abilities. The second initiative is the Science of Rap which fuses rap with Science in a stimulating and creative way. A project sure to inspire future scientists!

The workshops are run by dynamic rap artists BREIS and Karl Nova (both artists are enhanced CRB checked). Between both artists they have 12 years experience in running Rap workshops and Performance Poetry workshops in over 500 schools around the UK. BREIS has also worked extensively with the British Council on numerous occasions as a trainer and Creative Consultant in South Africa and Washington DC.

WHAT SCHOOLS ARE SAYING

"The workshops were inspirational and fun! Student of Life created an environment where the students were learning about science without even realising it and were able to express themselves freely. It was in a language they understood and they thoroughly enjoyed it”
-Zehra Jaffer, Assistant Head teacher, Wallington County Grammar School

“The children loved having a rap artist in their midst. BREIS’ performance won the school over immediately with his crowd participation, lyrics and humour. In the workshop BREIS had an easy teaching style and could differentiate between students who were confident and those that weren’t. He was excellent at getting good work out of everyone”
- Karen Arthur, Head of House. Forest Hill School, London

“Student of Life boosted the children’s confidence, raised their self esteem and encouraged team work. It brought fun to learning and the teachers thought it was fab too”
- Sonia Marquis, Yr 5 Teacher. St Paul’s Way Community School

"I just wanted to say a massive thank you with all my heart for the whole experience that you gave us, pure brilliance"
- Henry Worger, pupil (14), Highbury School
