WELCOME
Circability is an inclusive circus project involving 40 young people from circus associations in Austria, Estonia and Latvia.
About Circability.
We seek to bring young people with different physical, social and geographical backgrounds together. Through the medium of contemporary circus, learning and living together in a non-formal environment, they will be able to develop new skills and abilities and make their different realities of life understandable to one another.
