Caravan Circus
🎙️In this compelling highlight episode from the Caravan Week 2026 podcast, William Borell sits down with researchers Dr. Petra Malin (University of Tampere and Helsinki) and Antonio Alcántara (University of Barcelona) to explore how social circus fosters participation, citizenship, and democratic culture.
🧪 Drawing from their doctoral research—including studies with Circus Magenta and Ateneu Popular de 9 Barris— Petra and Antonio discuss how embodied artistic practices can break down traditional hierarchies.
🤹 By moving away from rigid office walls and into physical, shared spaces, social circus creates a unique environment where social workers, service users, and community members can meet as equals.

In this inspiring episode from the Caravan Week 2026 podcast, Adam Jarchovský (Head of Education at CIRQUEON and Caravan CTF trainer) sits down with William Borell to introduce Circus Playgrounds—a revolutionary, framework-based approach to creativity in the circus classroom.
Developed over the last two years alongside colleague Kateřina Kušáková and inspired by physical literacy, Circus Playgrounds shifts the focus from rigid skill progression to holistic personal development.
By using visual cue cards and structured environments ("possibility spaces"), trainers can spark endless creative solutions, engagement, and pride without relying on prescriptive teaching.

⌛️For the past five years, their research team has collaborated directly with over 100 disabled and non-disabled individuals to co-create groundbreaking solutions—from adapted circus props to multi-sensory teaching approaches.
As Jessica puts it, it’s not about separate accommodations; it’s about reshaping how we design activities so that diversity naturally enriches the entire community.
