Social Educircation- specialized vocational training for circus professionals to enhance Social Integration

Description

The SOCIAL EDUCIRCATION project is built on a strong partnership of seven organisations from seven European countries. We created the partnership to share theoretical information and practical experiences in the field of SOCIAL CIRCUS, both among the project partners and to disseminate these findings to a wider circus and social professional community. The definition of Social Circus is to carry out SOCIAL WORK USING CIRCUS TOOLS. To use the magic of circus to work with special groups that have fewer possibilities: immigrants, the physically or mentally impaired, ethnic minorities, elder people, orphans, street children, youth or adult prisoners.The project aimed to show that circus can be an alternative way of reaching social, physical and mental development. By the impact of our project social circus could become a more DISCUSSED METHOD OF WORKING WITH SOCIALLY EXCLUDED GROUPS. During the 2 year activity partners provided SPECIALIZED VOCATIONAL TRAINING in the form of 5-day long workshops and longer 12 day joint staff trainings. Every partner hosted a high-level specialized workshop in a specific topic offering training for an average of 14 participants, where besides the members and employees of the partner organizations, places at the workshops were available for the wider European community of social circus. Our specialized workshops1. Circus workshop for prisoners 2. Workshop for kids with physical disabilities3. Social Message in Circus 4. Use of Voice for empowerment of Gipsy Women 5. Advanced Training for social circus teachers 6. Dealing with Behavioural Issues in Group Work7. Workshop for refugee children and young peopleWe built connections and cooperated with associated partners and realized a communication towards governmental sectors, decision makers and other institutions acting in the social field or education. We assessed our employees by these vocational trainings, we evolved a MULTIPLIER effect by disseminating the results to circus professionals and transmitting the idea of social circus to teachers, educators and professionals of the social sector.We also have a huge effect on the PATIENTS/ CLIENTS we are working with, since they gain COMPETENCIES, which are essential for their integration into the labour market. In general we increased the market of social circus. Each single partner is working with more than 500 individuals per year: clients/ patients, some of us work with thousands. This international network allows us to raise the quality of this work and increase the number of experienced teachers. Beside several remarkable effects on the personality and vocational skills of the beneficiaries our MAIN RESULTS are the transfer of best practices to the partners, and in an indirect way to the wider circus and social sectors.The project was INNOVATIVE since we specialized our trainings on new topics, involved new partners and produced professional material. It is also COMPLEMENTARY to European work, since our network is an opportunity for other organizations as well to increase their knowledge in the field of social circus. Partners realized a DEMOCRATIC partnership amongst them based on consent and common agreement. Partners shared tasks and took a common RESPONSIBILITY for the QUALITY of the project. Partners kept continuous contact during the two years, communicating through skype meetings, group emails, document sharing and at network meetings. We produced professional articles, conclusion materials, personal reflections, videos and photos of each workshops, which can be found on our website WWW.EDUCIRCATION.EUAll the project activities are embedded into our ongoing national activities, so as to ensure that our work is long term.
