This project aims to strengthen the capacity of youth workers to design and deliver inclusive, trauma-informed, and gender-sensitive social circus activities that actively engage young people with fewer opportunities—particularly those facing social, geographic, economic, or psychological barriers. From a youth work practice perspective, we seek to move beyond theoretical training and create a living laboratory of co-creation in Gran Canaria, where 24 participants (21 youth workers + 3 trainers) from Spain, Finland, and Türkiye will: 1. Exchange and adapt concrete methodologies such as Functional Juggling—a technique developed to make circus accessible to people with motor, cognitive, or sensory differences—through hands-on workshops, peer observation, and real-time testing with local groups, including young people with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and minors under judicial supervision. 2. Co-develop gender-responsive circus practices, integrating tools from feminist pedagogy and non-violent communication into daily facilitation. This includes designing activities that challenge gender stereotypes in circus (e.g., who “should” do acrobatics or juggling), using non-sexist language in instructions, and creating safe, consent-based spaces for physical contact—especially crucial in aerial and partner acrobatics. 3. Build shared frameworks for “safe spaces” inspired by the Ideas of Inclusion approach (EYCO, 2022), using participatory methods like the Safe Spaces Carousel and Flower of Power to reflect on power dynamics, privilege, and intersectionality. These reflections will directly inform how participants structure their own community workshops back home. Engage directly with local Canarian communities during the exchange, including migrant youth, rural groups from peripheral municipalities, and associations working with people with disabilities. This ensures that learning is not abstract, but tested in real contexts of diversity and vulnerability, in line with the Erasmus+ Inclusion and Diversity Strategy’s call to “bring European activities to the local level” (EC, 2021). 4. Co-create a practical toolkit of transferable protocols—including session plans, accessibility checklists, and conflict-resolution scripts using Non-Violent Communication (NVC)—that youth workers can immediately implement in their own settings. This responds to the documented need, expressed in FEECSE trainer meetings, for “ready-to-use, field-tested resources” rather than generic guidelines. Ultimately, we do not aim merely to “train” youth workers, but to equip them as reflective practitioners who can critically adapt social circus to their local realities—whether in an outermost region like Gran Canaria, a Nordic welfare context, or a multi-ethnic border area in eastern Turkey. By grounding our work in embodied practice, ethical facilitation, and community dialogue, we contribute to a more inclusive, decolonial, and socially just vision of youth work across Europe.
