The Urban Games is a three-year project that hosts an annual games event for young people from across the Tyne and Wear region. The games offer a wide range of urban arts and sports inspired by Hip Hop culture as well as some extreme sports.

Each year, young people work with with cultural partners to develop and plan the workshops and annual event.

Urban Games activities include: break dancing, DJ-ing, MC-ing and rapping, street dancing, Parkour, skateboarding, BMX-ing and basketball. The young people involved in running the Urban Games come from a variety of backgrounds but are united through their love of the urban sports and hip-hop culture.
