PARTENAIRE

Jokes die Circusschule (Jokes the circus school) In 1998, young circus enthusiasts founded their own circus school together with artists and teachers. Since then, young and young-at-heart artists from 4 to 99 years have been able to help shape the circus school. In 2020, after a long period of planning, the school was finally able to move to its own space and set up its own circus tent, where shows are performed regularly. In addition, the Circus School has a hall for training. Almost 260 children and young people use these halls every week to do circus together. In addition, there are more than 300 children and young people who are looked after at schools on a weekly basis. https://www.circusjokes.de/ (only in German) The ijgd has been organising volunteer service programmes since 1949. We are an independent, non-profit association for international youth work, a recognised independent youth welfare organisation, and one of the largest and oldest workcamp organisations in Germany. Each year, we assist around 5,000 young people into volunteer work in Germany and abroad. We give them the opportunity to be creative, act in solidarity, take responsibility for themselves, and discover their own true potential and strengths. Our principles: Ecological learning, voluntary contribution, self-organisation, social development, intercultural learning, gender equality, anti-racism/anti-discrimination and political education.

Travail

Shoot a short film together and beautify a circus space with art and crafts! - You can try this out at this international art camp. "Learning by doing" is the order of the day, so you can collect ideas and try things out in small groups. In the first week, you will learn how to create short films - from the initial idea to the completion. After an introduction to the technique, you will develop a storyline and start filming. Whether it's a short feature film with you as actors or a short documentary film - you can tell your own little story. There are no limits to your imagination. In addition to the many different filming techniques, you will also learn how to edit your films and set them to music. Previous experience is not necessary, but welcome. You will be guided by an experienced film and photo journalist. The film workshop will take place from Monday 24.7. to Friday 28.7. from 9am-5pm. You can find some films from the last camps here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P1xBVom-lk8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5v5vcVpV2I4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ZQaPuy4L-g https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mIN6k_QkKVM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yGHE-Z2kZGc In the second week, you will show your artistic and craft skills and beautify the site of the Circus School Jokes, a children's and youth project with a real circus tent. In addition to the tent, there are mainly shipping containers on the site, which serve as offices, toilets, storage rooms, dining and meeting rooms and are also used by you during the camp. You will give these containers a more beautiful and colourful appearance with colours and plants. You will also carry out various gardening and handicraft activities to beautify the Circus Square.
