nir-vana innovation network

The Romanian NGO was founded by a young artist who practiced and taught juggling and circus for 16 years. Started as passion, the young artist learned this art in Romania, New Zealand and Western Europe, especially France, and thus, over time, it transformed into a business idea.

The Romanian artist also attended practical and theoretical pedagogy courses through the art of circus in an international project organized in collaboration with the Circus School in Brussels, Belgium.

Thus, the main activity of the Romanian creative NGO is to promote the contemporary circus as a new art form and alternative education: juggling and contemporary circus; playing together, regardless of age; joy, happiness, relaxation and personal development on different levels: physical, mental and social.

The juggling activities are taking place with balls, circles, poles, scarves and other surprises, through fun activities, both individual and in groups.

The service offer of the Romanian creative NGO includes:
• workshops for children;
• workshops for teens and adults;
• day-time shows;
• night-time shows (led or fire shows);
• activities for public or private events: projects, festivals, events, team-buildings, camps etc.;
• workshops, games and competitions.

Among the projects in which the young Romanian artist was involved one can mention a special project designed for a group of children with hearing impairments and with great coordination and socialization problems. Based on weekly workshops, from the lonely and anti-social children who were in the beginning, the group became happy, energetic, self-confident and friendly children.

The Romanian artist aims to expand and enrich its portfolio and therefore is offering its professional juggling and contemporary circus services on a long-term basis for new international business partners (e.g. Start-ups, SMEs and NGOs). The Romanian creative NGO is interested in performing juggling and contemporary circus services within the frame of outsourcing agreements.
