Youth Circus
For Youth
Youth Circus is our membership-based circus arts education programme for children and young people ages 5-24. Registration for 2024-2025 classes now open!
We believe in circus for all and aim to make it part of wellness, learning, and fun for people of all ages and abilities.
Our "circus for all" philosophy empowers disadvantaged, at-risk, and vulnerable individuals to develop self-confidence and social skills. Using circus arts as a vehicle, participants tap into their strengths and hidden talents. Our Community Partnership Programmes are designed to be inclusive and accessible, allowing each participant to realise their potential at their own pace and in line with their abilities.
At Galway Community Circus, our programmes also include tailored school initiatives that are responsive to the specific needs of each group. Since 2002, we’ve provided engaging circus experiences for schools, youth organisations, and community groups. These programmes range from one-off workshops to ten-week circus arts education modules that fit seamlessly into school curriculums and cater to diverse ages and abilities.
Through our circus residencies, we deliver a 100% memorable and educational experience for students, teachers, parents, and the wider community. These immersive projects bring a dynamic, engaging, and creative atmosphere to our partners, leaving a lasting impact.
