With the help of the community, we plan to open a venue where young people can come in to socialise in a safe environment and participate in specialised programs that have been specifically developed to assist them to gain valuable life skills while having fun with each other and learning the ins and outs of both industries.
Further to this, EMP Pathways have announced a crowd funding campaign to help tackle the very real problem of ‘Gaming Disorder’ Something the World Health Organisation have included in their latest update of the International Classification of Diseases.
EMP’s mission is to reduce the risk of online gaming addiction in young people through fully supported programs and connections to healthy social networks and professional Music and Gaming industry pathways.
Beginning with the development of their own ‘Musician Seeking Band’ Advert and ending with a promotional live performance, EMP Pathways Jam Den Subscribers will be fully supported by qualified Support Workers and mentored by industry leaders each step of the way as they learn all about the music industry and discover everything that goes into being in a successful band during the forty week program.
