about
The main idea is to get a new generation of kids and young adults, along with the local community and youth with fewer opportunities, to learn about circus skills, get active, and connect with each other and with EU.
This isn’t just about circus tricks; it’s about bringing people together, improving skills like concentration and creativity, and getting more active in social and democratic life.
A PROJECT IS FOR TOTAL BEGINNERS,
SO NO ANY SPECIAL CIRCUS SKILLS ARE NEEDED!
By the end of it, we’re going to put on a circus show that’ll be the highlight of everything we’ve learned and shared. And after the project, we’re looking to keep the momentum going, with local youth organizing more activities and sharing their new skills.
We’re really looking forward to making this project a reality. It’s not just about the fun of circus skills but about the connections, growth, and community we’ll build together.

Here is the list with answers to the most popular questions about us and what we do
Most of the international youth exchanges are targeted at young people between the ages of 12 and 30. However, more and more opportunities for children are developed with each year. International youth exchanges are basically aimed at all adolescents and young adults. The youth exchanges organised by CHANCE International are usually targeting young people from 18 to 26 (in some cases up to 30) and funded within the Erasmus + programme.
We distinguish between participant contribution and total costs. The participant contribution is 50 Euro at max, depending on the project. During 2021 there is no participation fee. If the contribution is too high, we will always find a way for you to participate in an encounter. Please contact us!
A youth exchange is financed by the organiser’s own funds, third-party funds and the participant’s contribution. Third-party funds are provided by the Federal Government from the Child and Youth Plan and European funds from the Erasmus+ youth programme. Third-party funds are applied for by the organiser or sponsor.
