Assirk Assaghir has kicked off the summer with a full schedule of trainings, workshops and shows. With more than 40 students ranging in age from 5 to 20, the Nablus Circus School is always buzzing with activity. One of the most exciting aspects of this new phase in Assirk Assaghir's activities is the progression of the advanced group of teen students and their development into team leaders. A number of these youth teach the younger students, help plan trainings, and develop shows. Most recently they helped develop a show that was performed for an audience of elderly people who participate in a social welfare program through An-Najah University and another at the Red Crescent Society for handicapped children as a kick-off to their summer camp.
