    project description
    The “Aktions- und Zirkusbüro” develops and creates circus pedagogical offers, participation projects and various cultural
    events on the big area in the Otto-Dullenkopf-Park which is situated at the southeastern part of the city Karlsruhe. The
    “Aktions- und Zirkusbüro” is part of the “Stadtjugendausschuss e.V.” which is an umbrella association for children and youth
    organizations in Karlsruhe.

    On the site of the “Aktions- and Zirkusbüro” a lot of possibilities are offered. Children and youngsters with or without special
    needs as well as educated athletes, musicians or artists are invited to present and train within the topics of sports, arts
    or culture.

    Big and small circus tents, different site caravans and containers are part of the circus area. At the moment the site is
    in construction and the big office building and about 300 m² inside training area will be finished in spring 2023. An area for
    parcours, dirtbiketrails and a beach volley court, a fireplace, patches, a clay oven, a play yard – all these
    infrastructures are parts of the space. The area offers many possibilities for projects and events for various ages.

    Children and youngsters can bring in their own ideas, follow their interests and have the possibility to co-determine what
    happens in the park. The concept is changeable and can be adapted to the current necessities. The ideas and the
    knowledge of the children and youth is an essential part of the planing for the future, they are involved in all steps.

    A big and important part of the work of the “Aktions- und Zirkusbüro” is the circus “Maccaroni”. It’s a circus created by
    children and youngsters from Karlsruhe. Fixed training groups for children, youngsters and young grown-ups are besides
    organizing offers for everybody: workshops, projects with schools and social organizations, holiday programs,
    performances, festivals and conventions. Within the trainings all circus disciplines are involved and implemented:
    juggling, aerial art, acrobatics, balance, fire juggling, Chinese mast and clownery.

    A European Volunteer will have the possibility to get to know all fields of activities of the “Aktions- und Zirkusbüro”. He*she
    will support the circus pedagogical offers for children and youth and can depending to his*her interests and experiences
    develop and realize own projects. The volunteer will work 32 hours per week. After some basic education in circus skills,
    the volunteer soon will be part of the trainer team and teach children in circus disciplines, basic level in German is
    an advantage and a high motivation to learn the language is expected.
    Coordinating organisation
    The Kreisjugendwerk (KJW) of the AWO Karlsruhe-Stadt is the nonprofit
    childrens‘ and youth‘s department of the AWO (Arbeiterwohlfahrt). As
    independent organization, the KJW organizes leisure activities for children and
    young people between the ages of 6 and 20, extracurricular education and
    workshops, as well as intercultural encounters and projects for young people and
    young adults between 15 and 27.
    Our work focuses on participation and personal development, and our activities
    are also deliberately offered to children and young people from socially
    disadvantaged backgrounds and to young people with a migration background.
