Acirkaos Social Circus invites you to join a Youth Exchange under Erasmus+ Programme, FROM 27th OF JUNE UNTILL 5th OF JULY in MENORCA, Balearic Islands, SPAIN.

Acirkaos Social Circus is an Spanish organization based in Menorca which responds to the need for development and promotion of culture, performing arts, and entertainment by means of Social Circus.

We want to give these artists the opportunity to have control over their talents, their lives, and their careers. By giving these young artists a stage about the Social Circus Show, Acirkaos also provides entertainment for the inhabitants of Menorca. This is done by organizing a Show at the end of the Camp for the local community. (Groups present their final projects on Saturday afternoon to the entire public)

From a work programme build up from youngsters, through workshops and open air activities we offer the youngsters the skills and compentences building in the Social Circus Show. We will share intercultural and multilingual experience!
