Mobile Circus

In cooperation with the Danish Center for Culture and Development Assirk Assaghir is launching a new project to take its programs to villages in the Nablus district. Over the next year and a half, in addition to regular trainings for youth and children in the city, trainers will be giving workshops and organizing shows in villages with especially difficult conditions due to military checkpoints and Israeli settlements. The trainers work in each village for one month, facilitating weekly workshops for children and youth. In the summer, a performance created by the Nablus teen groups will be toured around the participating villages. This project will allow the circus to reach the most remote areas in the district, giving children and youth a break from the realities of their daily lives and providing them with a fun, extracurricular activity, which is a rare opportunity.
