💣Every year, the world spends $2,700,000,000,000 on war machines… and pays $19,970,000,000,000 in damage. Really? Is it that hard to spend it on play, education, art, laughter, and fun instead? 🎪🕊 🎭 😄✨ 🎶 📚 🎈 ❤️💛💚💙 Sending love to all the people in Afghanistan, all our 38 Social Circus teams are safe!

What if learning felt like flying?
What if trust was built by catching someone — literally?

That’s the power of Youth and Social Circus.

🎪 From Europe to Africa, Asia, and the Americas, our network uses circus to help young people grow, connect, and belong.

Currently our venue is hosting Ukrainian refugees in the accommodation area.
Therefore there won't be the chance to use this to avoid camping.

However it does give us the chance to highlight the importance of social circus and we are already thinking of ways of helping them to feel included.
