Resumo: (Working in a circus for children and young people)

There are many different children's circuses, which differ considerably in the type of circus work they do. While some represent the 'new circus' style, others are based on the traditional style. There is a wide range, from performance-oriented circuses to circuses in which the playful component under socio-educational aspects is the guiding principle.
The organization is a social circus for children and young people. The circus works according to the 'New Circus' style and focuses on the socio-pedagogical aspects of circus education.
The site is hidden in the middle of houses and is an inconspicuous oasis from theoutside. There are several circus wagons, a circus tent, an amphitheater and a stonebuilding on the site. In addition to office and prop rooms, there is also a large training hall. The building was built in the 1960s and renovated in 2015.

There are regular 1.5-hour training groups in various circus disciplines, including unicycle, diabolo, silks, trapeze, acrobatics and much more. At 'Circus', the children and young people help shape their circus - from the themes to the training and the performance.

Thanks to the support of the district authority, donations and income from performances, the circus education program is free of charge and open to all children and young people between the ages of 6 and 26.
Every six months, the circus puts on a performance with all the training groups. Schatzinselemploys six permanent staff and one European volunteer to organize the day-to-day running of the circus. These form the basic organizational structures. Training is provided by freelancers, most of whom are professional artists.

In addition to regular training, the circus organizes various vacation workshops. Here, the children are on site all day, train and also receive a hot lunch . The same concept also takes place as a school project week. At the end, the children perform their results in the form of a show.

For the older children, the circus offers the 'youth ensemble'. This work includes more intensive
artistic and theatrical training, in which a larger independent piece is developed with a permanent ensemble.
Once a year, a circus trip takes place together with the partner circus from Brodnica (Poland). The international circuscamp takes place once a year alternately to Germany and Poland
