Aim Arts used as integration and personal development tool. 

For the past 18 years, the foundation Ton sur Ton, based in La Chaux-de-Fonds,  has provided full and lively academic teaching to the students of the Bern-Jura-Neuchâtel region (Switzerland) in the disciplines of Jazz, Modern Music, Theater, Contemporary Dance and Circus Arts.

In the discipline of Circus Arts, the Ton sur Ton circus school provides weekly lessons to 240 students from 2,5-year-old toddlers to adults. These students are taught by professional teachers.

In parallel to the recreational and the pre-professional teachings, the Ton sur Ton foundation initiated in 2016 the program Art Sans Frontière. It is a participatory mediation and social circus program that aspires to use circus, dance, theater and music as integration and personal development tools. Art Sans Frontière favors a concrete, real and participatory access to performing arts and is facilitated by professionals.

It also raises awareness of the profession of performing arts of dancers, actors, musicians and circus professionals related to the Ton sur Ton foundation.

The program Art Sans Frontière is a collaborative network between the artists and the different art, social, educational, and medical institutions for the benefit of the social intervention and cultural mediation.
