CIRCE- standing for Cooperative for Information and Research on Circus Education

Description

7 partners organised a large selection of trainings for circus teachers in the frame of a wide European cooperation. Today circus is part of informal education, a tool for social inclusion and for therapy in the health and social sectors, a leisure and sport activity and creative hobby. Circus has become more than an art form. It now has an INFLUENCE on 3 SECTORS: education, social and health care, besides simply art. It is a MARKET for hundreds of circus schools and dozens of social institutions providing service to a large amount of clients every week. Thus it is still a developing market with RARE TRAINING opportunities. Since there are only a few trainings available for these teachers, their development is rather experimental and empirical. This fact showed the importance of our project, to fill in this gap and gave us the motivation to organise official training programmes. We offered 7 INTENSIVE TRAININGS and 14 JOINT STAFF MOBILITIES for trainings IN SMALL GROUPS. While the intensive trainings were led by master teachers and were focused on specific areas of circus education for groups of approximately 15-20 participants, the joint staff trainings happened in much smaller groups and were integrated into the daily work of the host organisation, complimentary to its activities. 5 partner meetings were carried out to stay on top of project organization, and also with the aim to deepen the knowledge of administrative and financial issues and IT tools. Beside the project partners, the programme offered its services to the WIDER EUROPEAN COMMUNITY, to circus organisations from Poland, Slovakia and Ireland. These organistaions were able to delegate participants to our courses as well, at their own expense. These connections helped to broaden the reach of our project. To share the results and the knowledge partners organised national DISSEMINATION workshops, ’Meet and Greet’ events, professional days, will speak at conferences, and spread the information through social, electronic and printed media. Participants of the workshops were given a CERTIFICATE of attendance from the hosting organisations and the workshop leaders. They can use these certificates in their future professional life, and add it to their curriculum vitae. The project was INNOVATIVE since we specialized our trainings on new topics, involved new partners and realized a complex training programme having both technical and pedagogical content. It was also COMPLIMENTARY to European work. Although the administration of the project was centralized towards the National Agency, the partners emphasized having a decentralized, DEMOCRATIC partnership amongst them based on consent and common agreement. Partners shared tasks and took a common RESPONSIBILITY for the QUALITY of the project. Through EVALUATION activities, the quality of the workshops could be maintained, the project could be further developed and also feedback could be collected from participants for future purposes. Partners kept continuous contact during the two years, communicating through skype meetings, group emailing, document sharing and at network meetings so as to monitor and control the projects development.
