On Thursday evening, 20 March, Radio Alba devoted a prime 30-minute slot to Breaking the Walls. From 18:00 to 18:30 host Andrea Vico welcomed a quartet of BtW dancers fresh from their Inner Growth Labs, international mentor Willstr8, and two project coordinators. What followed was a rapid-fire mix of beats, stories and big-picture vision that carried across Piemonte and beyond via live stream.

Highlights in case you missed it

• Mind-set over move-set: Willstr8 explained how breaking teaches “micro-goal setting” and emotional regulation—skills transferable to exams, job interviews and everyday life.
• Project timeline unveiled: Listeners heard first about May’s international residency in L’Aquila and July’s showcase at Outbreak Europe, along with open volunteering roles.
• Listener buzz: Dozens of WhatsApp messages poured in; one parent wrote, “Thank you for showing how hip-hop can be healthy for my kids’ heads, not just their feet!”
