From May 12 to 19, Riga became a meeting point for youth workers from 9 countries, including Palestine and Ukraine \u2014 regions currently facing major challenges. The Erasmus+ project Solidarity Circus 2025<\/em> brought together those who work directly with refugee youth, using circus pedagogy as a tool to reduce mental stress, foster self-expression, and support social inclusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Participants shared how clowning, juggling, and street performance can restore balance, rebuild confidence, and create human connection. These were not just workshops, but emotional bridges between cultures and experiences, where refugee youth were seen not as victims, but as capable young people with potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A highlight of the project was the collaboration with European Solidarity Corps volunteers and joint performances during the multicultural Maija Gr\u0101fa sv\u0113tki 2025<\/em> festival. Through circus arts, participants created a common language that united different nationalities, generations, and life stories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udcac \u201cI see how circus pedagogy not only makes our young people smile, but also helps them rebuild their trust in themselves,\u201d<\/em> shared a youth worker from Palestine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This project, supported by the Erasmus+ programme, proved that creativity, solidarity, and a human approach are keys to inclusive communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
