Established in 2008 by 7 European circus schools, Caravan is now an international network active across 4 continents.

We advocate for Youth and Social Circus as a recognised approach to non-formal education and youth development, especially for those facing disadvantage.

🎯 We believe it’s time Youth and Social Circus is fully recognised across the wider art, sport and education sectors.

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.
