International Youth and Social Circus Network

Circus Transformation in Action

Based on five years of EU-funded research, working with two universities and eight Caravan members, Circus Trans Formation In Action (CTF) provides ongoing training in social circus. Our trainers take four learning modules at four different international circus schools, joining circus trainers from across the world.

Through exercises, group discussions and the guidebook, they share experiences and learn from some of the most experienced trainers at the hosting schools. The goal is to equip the trainers with confidence, new perspectives and methods for training within the social circus field.

What About Youth (WAY)

The Caravan WAY is a group of 10 young representatives from our member organisations, who are the pioneers and voices of the young communities from accross our network.

Their objectives are to amplify the voices of the young people in their respective communities, and help determine the future direction of the network.

Circus as an Intercultural Encounter

We are thrilled to share the final results of the CIE, an initiative aimed at promoting intercultural dialogue and fostering knowledge and acceptance of diversity in society.

Our efforts focused on developing and disseminating a training program featuring innovative skills and practices essential for effective anti-racism and social inclusion interventions. This program is particularly designed to address the needs of refugee communities, asylum seekers, and new migrant youth, helping to create a more inclusive and understanding society.
