Aim “Ateneu contributes, from culture, to a free, committed, critical and solidary society where people, collectively, decide on what affects them and manage common resources. The Ateneu is a generating space for critical thinking and learning of collective practices. “

The Ateneu Popular de Nou Barris (Ateneu) is in operation since 1977 in the district of Nou Barris in Barcelona. It is managed by the non profit association “Bidó de Nou Barris”. It uses circus and culture as a mean of education to reach a social transformation. “Bidó de Nou Barris” is governed by a board elected by the assembly members and several working committees, in which anyone interested can participate. The various committees respond to different concerns, needs and facets of the project (in areas such as the organisation of training in circus, theatre and percussion, programming, communication, or artistic criteria).

Considering circus as a tool for education in values and the transformation of society, Ateneu provides training and social circus activities to the benefit of around 4,500 children, adolescents and young people. It includes a Children and Youth Circus School, educational proposals with groups in situations of social exclusion and training of trainers in social circus.
