A BIT OF HISTORY:

 

In 2015 in Łódź, the Carnival Open Circus Space in Łódź in cooperation with SAN organized the first International Convention of Circus Pedagogy – Cyrkologia. The event was financed exclusively from the Foundation’s own resources and from participants’ contributions.

Thanks to the commitment and determination of the organizers, the event was successful – at the convention there appeared more than 100 people. During the 3 days the practical workshops with professional instructors from Poland, Germany, Great Britain and Canada took place as well as presentations, lectures and discussion groups.

 

Meetings, discussions and exchange of ideas resulted in, among others:

– Social Circus without Borders project realized in 2017-2018 as a part of the Visegrad Funds

– participation of the FMP to the European Youth Circus Organization (EYCO)

-the background of discussion about the creation of the Circus Pedagogues Network associating individuals and organizations operating within the development of circus pedagogy.
