WHAT IS BREAK THE FIGHT?
Break the Fight® (BTF) is an art and culture business model launched by Arja Tiili Dance Company in 2014. The purpose is to prevent bullying and social exclusion through the methods of street culture and performing art. Break the Fight® draws inspiration from hip-hop culture, where breaking, deejaying, beatboxing, rap lyrics and graffiti art offer opportunities for children and adolescents to create, succeed and exercise together. The concept includes training services as well as recreational and event activities for youth workers, artists from different art fields, schools and businesses. We also offer professional and collaborative stage activities, art mentorship and audience outreach work for children and adolescents.
Break the Fight Oy (Ltd) is a social enterprise founded in 2020. It offers cultural and training services, recreational activities, professional stage performancies, workplace wellbeing days, consulting and event services for municipalities and organisations.
Our expertise covers the various elements of hip-hop culture as well as multidisciplinary dance, art and sport activities.
Our expertise includes training services for the new Art Youth Work (Taidenuorisotyö®) model, which is aimed at municipal youth workers, community pedagogues and community artists. Our Art Youth Work instructors and educators are highly qualified specialists in their fields of arts education, youth work and hip-hop culture.

FOR YOUTH WORKERS
The Art Youth Work (Taidenuorisotyö®) Model
Art Youth Work prevents school violence and supports the wellbeing of children and adolescents in schools and develops wellbeing responsibility in schools through art, culture and sports.
Methods of Art Youth Work offer low threshold encounters and activities in schools. Develop art tools based on hip-hop culture and genuine encounters for creating youth-driven substance in school days, which prevents school violence and diffuses tensions.
Art Youth Work activities build the school community together with the pupils and teachers, promoting the development of the school’s operational culture. The training takes place both remotely and in person. It includes the license for Art Youth Work, the handbook, monitoring as well as the right to use the license.
We scale the impact of Art Youth Work anti violence concept through franchising model.
Contact us, and we will design a functioning Art Youth Work package for your youth workers.
FOR THEATRES AND COMMUNITY ARTISTS
The BTF - Hybrid Theatre Model
Collaborative stage activities and art mentorship from professional artists to adolescents, who also are included in the professional stage creations with their own artistic input.
This is a new hybrid model for theatre, where professional stage work, art education, schools and the prevention of school violence are combined through the methods of performing art and other art forms.
The national hybrid model integrates and employs municipal performing art and other art professionals.
This concept combines art education and professional stage work. The communal activities prevent school violence and mental health issues as well as strengthen the cultural involvement of adolescents.
