What About Youth ? (W.A.Y)

Caravan Circus

Caravan is an international Youth and Social Circus network that consists of 36 circus schools from across Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia and America, and advocates for the positive impact of youth and social circus. The network was established in 2008 by 7 European circus schools with a common goal to use social circus as an educational tool and to dedicate this work to groups from disadvantaged backgrounds with specific needs.

🎪 What does CTF actually put into action? 💪

⏭️ For nearly 10 editions, the Circus Transformation in Action (CTF) program has been training professional circus artists — most already active in teaching — to adapt their practice to audiences outside the traditional circus world 👀

Over four modules across one year, participants learn how to work with social and youth audiences, designing inclusive, accessible, and meaningful circus experiences for all 🌍❤️

This project is offered free of charge to practitioners linked to Caravan Network members, who also send their own instructors. It is made possible thanks to our funding partners, who help us advance social circus learning through three of our four main pillars:

🎓 Expertise – strengthening the pedagogical, social, and reflective skills of participants
🤝 Community – connecting circus artists from across Europe so they can learn, exchange, and grow together
📢 Advocacy – empowering participants to become active voices for inclusion, participation, and social circus beyond their own schools and companies

Thanks to all these combined efforts, CTF has become a unique and essential learning space in Europe 🇪🇺

🙏 We warmly thank our partners and funders, whose support makes this individual and social transformation possible. And we have something special for you: in the coming days, we’ll share words and actions from the people at the heart of the program — the participants themselves 💬✨

“One for all, and all for one.” 🤝✨

Alexandre Dumas knew what he was talking about: moving forward in the world can sometimes feel difficult. It takes strength, time, and commitment to learn, grow, and push ourselves beyond our limits — and we all hope that this journey is not something we have to trace alone.

That is exactly why Circus Transformation in Action (CTF) was created 10 years ago 🎪

🌍 CTF helps professional circus artists meet, train together, and build a real community across Europe and beyond. More than a program, it is a space where people support one another, learn from each other, and grow together.

The program is also made possible thanks to the support of 16 circus organizations across Europe during the 2025–2026 cycle. We warmly thank them for their commitment, without which none of the 22 participants in the latest edition could have taken part 🙏

✨And the participants themselves say it best — once they complete this transformative journey, they leave with their own reflections, experiences, and voices to share.

That is what we’ll be highlighting here and now 💬

🌍 Together, we go further 🌟

🚞 Travel opens the door to new horizons, especially when we choose to look closely enough to let others show us aspects of the world, and of ourselves, that we had never noticed before.

🎪This idea is reflected in what participants in Circus Transformation in Action (CTF) share with us. Over the course of one year, the programme creates a space for meeting, learning, and exchange between professional circus artists from across Europe — and sometimes beyond 🤝✨

Along the way, participants strengthen their English skills, while also discovering how solidarity in diversity can become a real strength: not an obstacle, but a launchpad for going even further 🚀

🧱 They learn to understand and apply these shared approaches to build together more effectively and pool their resources.

💬 But perhaps the best way to explain that is through their own words — and that is exactly what they accepted to share with us ⤵️
