Year-round
Social issues
For almost 30 years, Circo Fortuna has been much more than an association: we are a driver of social change, an educational reference point, and a place where children, young people, and families discover the transformative power of circus arts. Every summer, over 300 participants have unique experiences that culminate in the creation of final shows, where the values of collaboration and creativity, lived during the camp days, are expressed. The project aims to ensure access for families in difficulty, children in foster care, and young people with social challenges or mild disabilities. We are therefore looking for volunteers who can provide concrete help in setting up the summer camp, offering in return the opportunity to attend an evening show.
