What is CTF Advanced?
CTF Advanced is a 2.5 year project led by Sorin Sirkus with the objectives to:
- form a network (both local and European) of youth circuses, social circus trainers, social work organisations and institutions as well as youth work organisations
- evaluate CTF 4 to 6 from the data collected and by interviewing trainers and organisers
- update the CTF Guidebook according to the evaluation
- plan a follow-up strategy and peer network for social circus trainers who have gone through CTF (total 120 persons after CTF 6).
The whole project extends from March 2022 to June 2024 (28 months)
