Mobile Mini Circus for Children
Finalist of the 2008 Freedom to Create Youth PrizeThe Mobile Mini Circus movement provides educational and informative entertainment for children in war-torn Afghanistan. Through acrobatic feats, such as building human pyramids, artistic and physical tools are taught to improve social interaction and attract youths to the advantages of the social circus movement.
They perform 55-minute long sessions throughout a country where almost no forms of entertainment exist, infusing their entertainment with messages about education, women's rights, land mine awareness and health education.
The project aims to move victims of war beyond survival mode to rebuild the creative and artistic potential of a country by focusing on its children, the agents of its lasting peace.
