Many of you may be wondering: What is the difference between Assirk Assaghir and the Nablus Circus School?
Assirk Assaghir (The Small Circus in Arabic) was the name that a group of motivated youth chose for themselves in 2004 when they were teaching themselves circus arts and performing clowning shows for children in the Nablus area. During this time, they also began sharing their skills with a small group of children from Askar refugee camp, but it wasn't until they received funding to open a center in the middle of Nablus and began regular circus classes for a larger number of children that they added the name Nablus Circus School.
