DAY 1 and 2.
Morning: Building Circus Skill Confidence and Competence
Afternoon: Comprehensive theoretical and practical models
The first 2 days of the level 2 training is a balance of intensive physical and cerebral training. We will take the information learned in level 1 and go deeper within the content area to enable participants to hone the circus and facilitation skills needed for effective intervention. These 2 days will result in a deeper understanding of how to deliver sessions in complement to the specific theoretical and practice models used within the organization. Increasing the participant’s ability to apply circus and practice model knowledge to real life situations is the focus of these 2 days
DAY 3. Program Planning, Delivery, and Evaluation
The last day of this 3 day journey will provide the organization with all the needed tools to begin
running their own Holistic Circus Therapy programs. We will create a 10week curriculum, discuss program adaptations, delivery, and evaluation. The participants will immediately be able to integrate their knowledge in a real life workshop with community members.
