Since 2019, Coraggio – Die Kulturanstifter e.V. has been providing holistic cultural education for people of all ages through circus, theatre and dance in various districts of Berlin and Halle an der Saale. We believe that everyone has the right to shape society and their own lives. With our combination of community circus, education and social work, we open up new worlds of experience and learning with all the senses.

Our focus is on outreach, by providing access for vulnerable target groups and creating new pedagogical approaches to community circus. Our goal is to foster an inclusive society of confident, resilient individuals, fostering intercultural understanding and countering negative stereotypes.

Coraggio is cooperating with primary schools in Berlin, engaging especially in disadvantaged neighbourhoods in order to enable children to take part in weekly circus and dance groups as an after-school-activity.

Since 2021, Coraggio has been offering funambulism classes and workshops (balancing on tightwires up to 6m height with support of a balancing pole) for adults and young people. In 2024, we installed our training facilities on a long-term basis at Tempelhofer Feld, a pioneering recreational park in Berlin. In the same year, we launched a 3-year project to develop a more inclusive pedagogy for people with mental disabilities and mental health issues.
