Dear Youth Circus Leaders, Coaches, and Young Artists,
We are thrilled to invite you and your young talents to be part of something truly special this year! From August 3rd to August 7th, 2026, the European Juggling Convention (EJC) is hosting the official Youth Circus Workshops—a dedicated program designed exclusively for children and teenagers aged 8 to 18.
This is the ultimate opportunity for young performers to train together, make lifelong international friends, and dive into an unforgettable circus experience.
What does the program offer?
Workshops & Masterclasses: Learn directly from experienced jugglers and top circus artists from around the world to pick up new tricks and level up your skills.
Youth Open Stage: A dedicated, supportive stage where young talents can showcase their routines and perform in front of peers and mentors.
Top-Tier Shows: Incredible performances throughout the week, including exclusive shows produced specifically for younger audiences.
Volunteering Experience: Try your hand at volunteering and help co-create the event! This hands-on collaboration is the very heart and soul of the festival.
Youth Gala Show: Team up with other youth circuses, design a spectacular performance together, and step onto the stage to showcase your incredible passion!
