Caravan Circus
In Youth and Social Circus, young people are invited to experiment, trust, and express themselves in environments designed for safety and belonging.
These experiences often reach those who benefit most: youth living with disabilities, migrants, and others navigating exclusion. Circus offers a way to move differently, relate differently, and imagine differently—together.
To the facilitators, volunteers, organisers, and youth keeping these spaces alive: thank you.
📸 Share a photo or story from your celebration—we’d love to see how your circus community came together.

#WorldCircusDay #SocialCircus #CircusInclusion #YouthCircus
Youth and Social Circus (YSC) creates environments where young people learn to move with others, take supported risks, and build trust through physical collaboration.
These programmes open doors to new roles, new possibilities, and new ways of being in community—especially for those often left out of traditional spaces.
Research shows that circus-based practices strengthen resilience, support mental health, and expand social networks through shared creative action.
This work continues to shift how we think about youth, community, and transformation.

#WorldCircusDay #SocialInclusion #YouthDevelopment #CircusForChange #CreativeCommunities
In Youth and Social Circus, young people gather in shared spaces where trust is built on shoulders, creativity grows through risk, and difference is welcomed into the circle.
These spaces replace performance pressure with movement, play, and mutual support. Each activity—whether acrobatics, juggling, or clowning—becomes a way to relate, explore, and reshape relationships.
Follow along as we highlight the powerful ways circus connects and transforms.
