Caravan Week 2025: Youth & Social Circus as a Tool for Resilience
Caravan Week returns with a renewed focus on amplifying the voices of Youth and Social Circus (YSC) organizations worldwide. This year’s edition brings together member organizations to share their experiences and advocate for the role of YSC in times of uncertainty and change.
Caravan Week 2025 will take place online from 3 to 7 November, featuring daily podcasts with YSC leaders from Serbia, Palestine, Lebanon, Afghanistan and Germany.
This year’s edition focuses on one central question:
How do Youth and Social Circus organizations use circus as a tool of resilience in the face of global challenges?
Through these daily podcasts, member organizations will share first-hand experiences from different cultural and social contexts. Their stories illustrate how circus practices are used to respond to instability, promote inclusion, and support young people in building confidence and community.
Each podcast will be released daily at 16:00 CET, on Caravan’s official social media channels (LinkedIn, Instagram and Facebook) and with direct links shared through the Caravan Week mailing list – subscribe with the button below.
