The vision, concept and the philosophy of One Hand Cant Clap stems from African-Caribbean traditions. It relates to the traditional 'collective responsibilities’ of community lifestyle in which individual achievement is nurtured by actions and activities of a wide support network. In essence we subscribe to the view that it takes a whole community to raise a child.

No individual can achieve success on thier own - we all need support.

Making change happen

We are a multi-award winning innovative learning organisation committed to cultural heritage development through education, training and empowerment for African/ Caribbean communities.

We help people find their strengths and passions, become inspired, believe in themselves, stay focused, and really go after their biggest dreams.

The impact of the work that One Hand Cant Clap does with adults and young people is that:

• They translate collective responsibility into their own life context
• Find their purpose
• Become more action oriented thinkers.

"Its important for us to learn about the positive sides of proverbs because there were lots of people brought up on these cultural sayings back in the days  who used to get licks for using them and quite often were told to speak 'properly' because it wasn't the done thing to speak proverb or 'Patois'. But now winning numerous awards in recognition for this innovative learning tool, and creative metaphorical language , is great and a major achievement...."
