💫 Something is always better than nothing 🌈

Back in April, we were delighted to attend AltroCirco News ’s conference “Circo Spaziale” in Turin, Italy 🇮🇹✨🎪

Our network was represented by members of CIRQUEON and Sorin Sirkus , who shared their expertise on facilitating and implementing good practices, and on keeping our circus spaces safe, brave, and inclusive 🤝🌍

We were especially glad to take part in Katja Tuuli’s “Fishbowl” experiment, which explored resilience in the workplace, and in Adam Jarkovski’s keynote on “Circus Playgrounds” and physical literacy — a truly inspiring and forward-looking presentation 💡🎓

🎤 The conference also brought together experts working on accessibility, social justice, activism, and equality. Hearing real-life stories reminded us how much positive impact circus and the arts can have on individuals and communities. ❤️

💬 There is still a long way to go, but progress comes through commitment, consistency, and collaboration. As one key takeaway said: “Something is always better than nothing.” 🌱

Thank you to CIRQUEON’s Youth Accreditation funding for making this opportunity possible 🙏

🇪🇸🌍 From Spain to Europe to Latin America: something truly special took place in Barcelona in March at Federación de Escuelas de Circo Socio Educativo ’s Jornada Professional #6.

✌️Caravan was proud to participate in this important gathering, hosted by Ateneu Popular 9 Barris , bringing together voices from across the circus training sector to reflect on the past, present, and future of circus education and pedagogy 🎓

🎪 As part of the event, Will Borrell represented Caravan Circus in the Historic Round Table, alongside inspiring international figures from the sector, discussing the evolution of circus training, international cooperation, and the challenges and opportunities facing the field today.

🤝 Within the framework of CIRCONCENSO ; a new project developing key competencies for circus trainers in collaboration with organizations in South America; Caravan also presented its long-term pedagogical work through Circus Transformation in Action (CTF), CTF Advanced, and Circus++.

👉 These projects continue to demonstrate the importance of international collaboration, research, and shared learning in strengthening the youth and social circus sectors.

🙏 A huge thank you to FEECSE and all organizers, speakers, and participants for creating such a meaningful space for exchange, reflection, and collective vision-building. The energy, openness, and ambition in the room made it clear that the future of circus education is something we build together. ✨
