Junior Leader Scheme for Youth Circus is a project of Galway Community Circus, Cirqueon and Cirkus LeGrando for young people aged 15 - 18 years to gain experience, knowledge and confidence in the area of circus teaching and youth work that they can put into use by becoming junior leaders in their youth circus organisations.There are five young people, one circus tutor and one project coordinator from each organisation participating on the project for the whole duration of two years between autumn 2016 and summer 2018.Main objective of this project is to bring young people together from different European countries and let them learn how to become a good junior leader in a youth circus organisation while working with their peers from other organisations and being supervised by their experienced circus tutors.They will attend three training activities - one in each organisation - to learn about class organisation, group dynamics, working with specific groups, safety, first aid and teaching methods of various circus disciplines. There will be a practical session in the last training consisting of giving workshops to children and families during a youth circus festival in Brno in June 2018.Whole process will be documented on video by participating young people and shared online on a video channel managed by participating young people themselves. These videos will be made for other youth circus members around the world to encourage them to learn more about circus teaching in an informal way. As they will be made by their peers they will be more accessible than written publications produced by professional circus school and universities.The online video channel will be accessible to anyone even after the project is finished. We believe that our participants will continue updating it for several more years and will engage more young circus members to contribute to it as well.Participation on this programme will bring more future cooperation among the participants themselves, the partner organisations and also other organisations from the Czech Republic and Ireland as well as other European youth circuses connected in Caravan Youth and Social Circus Network. Having an international experience in teenage years will make it much easier for our participants to cooperate on European level in future on professional and personal level.
