• INTERNATIONALS VOLUNTEERS

INTERNATIONAL VOLUNTEERING PROGRAM FOR INTERNATIONAL CIRCUS ARTISTS/ TRAINERS/ADMINSTRATIVE

Since its first days, PCS has worked together with and welcomed many international circus people, individuals and schools. It believes in the strong added value of international and intercultural cooperation and discovery for a whole set of reasons. All former international cooperation has played a major role in the advancement of our artistic, social and pedagogical work. As Palestinians being many times still very isolated from the world through the many travel restrictions, bringing people to Palestine allows Palestinians to meet and interact with new cultures.
