About the projects
About the projects¶
European projects—especially those supported by the Erasmus+ programme—have given us tremendous opportunities to share, learn, and grow together. Thanks to this ongoing support, we’ve been able to discover new methodologies, build cross-border collaborations, and bring dreams into reality.
The circus sector is evolving dynamically. Through personal meetings, regular online exchanges, and deep collaboration, we’ve all grown—not only as professionals, but also as human beings. These shared experiences have a lasting impact on our daily practice, our values, and our vision for what circus can be.
This current project, “Creative Inclusion of Special Need Groups - Much More Than Circus”, spanned one year and brought together five core organisations from across Europe. Together, we delivered:
- Three international in-person events: a convention, a conference and a training
- A series of online symposiums
- And this present Book of Case Studies
We also invited guest organisations to contribute, offering a broader and more diverse picture of inclusive circus practices. With this, we aim to contribute to something much greater: the growing work of the Functional Juggling Network, and the future of a truly inclusive international circus community.
We hope the seeds planted here will grow into many beautiful collaborations to come.
