The circus arts are synonymous with core values such as risk, imagination, solidarity and confidence. They entertain, enchant and instill wonder, in addition to being an excellent alternative educational tool for youth.

 

Created in 1993, the Cirque du Monde program has now been implemented in 34 communities around the world. True laboratories of personal artistic expression and group solidarity, the circus workshops are an opportunity for marginalized young people to forge new ties with society.

 

The program has been made possible through the support of the following partners: Jeunesse du Monde, primary partner since the program's creation; the Canadian International Development Agency; members of the Oxfam International family; Pueblito; and a number of community organizations, governments, universities and private companies.
