SOFT CIRCUS
An innovative, exciting and safe way for toddlers, children and adults with specific needs, and elderly to develop all the skills associated with circus, performance, making props and costumes, and learning English.
We provide workshops and programmes that can be tailored to the specific requirements of the participants.
What we offer is an opportunity for children to explore and develop the English language in an interesting and engaging context.
We believe in a child focused, child led approach inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach, for that reason there is no predetermined program. Instead we encourage the children to be part of the decision of what activities undertake.
