Programmed visits to the Circus schools of the country:We will go to the most prestigious circus school of each country to see how they run a school, and the different ways they structure teaching and teaching programs. We will have members from the associations participate in each of the five disciplines (juggling, aerial skills, acrobatics, physical theatre, equilibrist) at the circus schools so they can meet the teachers and experience different teaching styles.3.
