The American Youth Circus Organization (AYCO) announces two important back-to-back events for anyone involved with youth circus education.
The training and the conference will take place in Chicago, IL and are
presented by AYCO in cooperation with Cirque du Soleil and our host, CircEsteem.
Cirque du Monde Social Circus Teacher Training
Chicago, IL - October 30 - November 3.
This event will be provided by professionals from Cirque Du Monde, an
organization that conducts circus workshops for at-risk youth across the globe
in cooperation with social service organizations. The 4 1/2 day professional
development program is for circus coaches already working with underserved
children, to improve upon their skills working within their communities.
- The Training is limited to 20 participants who will be chosen by review of
applications.
- Applications for the training are available on the AYCO
website.

AYCO Social Circus Educators Conference
"Youth Development through Circus Education"
Chicago, IL - November 3-5.
This Event is open to all teachers, coaches, and administrators who are
interested in improving how they work with their students. The weekend's
workshops and discussions will address such topics as how we teach,
conflict/resolution strategies, community partnerships, and curriculum
development.
Topics will also include:
- Administrative programming
- Fund raising,
- Legalities of working with youth.
We also intend for this conference to act as a springboard for new networks
throughout our youth circus community, to initiate an Assessment Project for
youth circus programs, and establish a national network to provide Social Circus
internships for future educators.
AYCO is still accepting applications for presenters to lead workshops.
