💼 What the programme involves
The structures are painted, decorated and prepared for the Festival and that the participants can accompany (and learn) young people and adults with disabilities in their circus performances.The tasks of the participants will be to accompany, practise, learn and teach young people and adults with disabilities some circus performances, together with supervisors and teachers, and support all the dimensions of their performance before, during and after the Youth Festival of Circus. Besides the artistic and supporting tasks, participants will also be asked to decorate the space for the Festival making sure it is accessible for everyone (for example with mobility problems).
🏠 Accommodation on site
Breakfast will be provided at the accommodation (school) by the monitors and a rotating team among the participants. Since the work starts early (to avoid the hours of greatest heat), we intend to serve a snack midmorning to gain energy and delay lunchtime. The journey is continuous and at lunch, the food will be delivered by a catering restaurant at school by 14pm. During the afternoon, the association will provide snacks like yogurt, chocolate milk and croissant with ham and cheese. Dinner will be served at the accommodation at 8 pm (a warm meal to prepare for a comforting evening).
