Using Art as the central axis of pedagogic activities to open new horizons for the so-called "street children" in Brazil, who live in risky situations and very difficult conditions.
This project seeks to develop activities linked to Educational Art, mainly through circus techniques. The beneficiaries are over 600 “street children” and at-risk youth from the favelas (urban slums). Some pedagogic targets are: to motivate the desire to learn and the thirst for knowledge; conflict resolution; respect rules and limits; supply practical experiences with several artistic languages, seeking of self-awareness, building self-esteem and stimulating social participation.
To motivate desire to learn; conflict resolution; respect rules and limits; supply practical experience with artistic language, seek self-awareness, build self-esteem & stimulate social participation.
The goal of this project is to leverage the technical abilities, number of youth and youth monitors attended.
We saw the kids on the streets without hope and reacting with violence to life. Happiness, trust, magic and circus arts are turning these youth into multiplier agents of social opportunities and hope.
