About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

The main objective of l'Ecole de Cirque de Bruxelles is to allow each and everyone to progress, to blossom and to strengthen their autonomy thanks to circus arts… Whether they are young or old, amateur or professional, everyone is welcome to our school, a real microcosm of modern urban society. At l'Ecole de Cirque de Bruxelles, we have developped our own specific pedagogy, that is based on six main values : creativity, learning, pleasure, engagement, personal development and respect. The main fields of activity of the school are the following: Circus Arts Academy (Weekly classes), Professional Trainings, Social Projects (for people and children with functional diversity or fewer opportunities), performing groups, international activities… The volunteers working with us at l'Ecole de Cirque de Bruxelles will be a part of the team, helping during events and circus projects.

🏠 Accommodation on site

According to the program rules, your rent will be paid directly by us and we will give you a monthly allowance to cover your food and transport fees, as well as some pocket money.

🎒 Leisure activities

The volunteers will be supported by their mentor for all practical and well being aspects, and by a reference person for all the activities of the circus school they will be involved in. For their own personal development and in the framework of our circus lessons dedicated to adults, we also encourage the volunteers, if they wish, to discover our pedagogy by following one or several circus techniques. This experience which will allow them to feel all the benefits of this practice on their social and personal development.

ℹ️ Additional information

The project is implemented under the European Solidarity Corps Programme, financed by the European Commission.
The participating organisations have to be mindful of these needs as they are responsible for providing a respectful and trusting hosting environment. At the same time, the organisations participating in the initiative devote a great deal of time, energy and resources to set up a high-quality activity; they should therefore expect that European Solidarity Corps participants show a similar level of respect for the local communities and the people that are directly concerned by the activities (https://youth.europa.eu/solidarity/mission_en).
