The Challenge

The high rates of violence, unemployment, and lack of prospects for children and youth in the local community is worrying. Added to this, there are few spaces for coexistence, exchange of affection, and art-education for early childhood and youth.

The Project

The “Circus-School for Everyone” project promotes socio-cultural and art education activities in the areas of circus, music, dance, plastic arts, popular culture, and theater. The activities are aimed at children and adolescents in a permanent program of classes, exchanges, events, and artistic presentations. Since 2013, with regularity and an experienced team, it offers the community of Vila de Serra Grande, at the headquarters of Circo da Lua Association, an alternative to after-school activities, accompanying the individual development of the students and their families in a direct way.

The Impact

To offer more children and young people after-school activities, strengthening the relationship of the students with the institution and of the institution with their families.
