FINISHED
The EVS Circus For All project with Albert & Friends Instant Circus hosted two Volunteers from September 2014, one from Finland for 9 months and one from Russia for 12 months.
The Volunteers roles included
• one to one and group work with young people in the local community including those from a range of socio-ecomomic backgrounds, with physical and learning needs, not in education or at risk of offending.
• develop projects with these communities using circus skills to build young people’s confidence, self belief and ability to work together fostering a sense of community and fighting discrimination.
• assist and take an active part in all of A&FIC activities, youth leisure activities, vocational training in a community arts setting and attending national youth meetings and training events.
A&FIC’s work is based on the teaching of circus arts providing
• a non-formal teaching methodology for social meeting and exchange
• promoting physical activity for young people
• offering a space for personal development and creative expression in a non-formal learning environment building a wide range of practical competencies
The project has helped A&FIC to
• foster links with the diverse local community developing sustainable projects and facilitating cultural integration
The project has helped the Volunteers to
• develop a range of life skills and competencies that will benefit them in their future education and careers
