This publication aims to promote circus arts in public spaces throughout Europe, by suggesting good practices to which signatories – circuses, local governments and other hosting entities – may willingly commit themselves.
Taking as a departure point previously developed projects, such as the French charter for hosting circuses in towns “Droit de cité pour le cirque” (“Establishment for the circus”), a European working group, coordinated by Circostrada Network, wrote in 2010 and 2011 a “European Circus Charter for Hosting Circuses in Towns”. Finalised in May, this European Charter can from now on be adjusted and applied locally; national or regional working groups can be created with the objective to determinate the modalities of its application.
