Objectives

To finish training a group of five young collaborators, former beneficiaries of Fundatia Parada, for their social reintegration and professional insertion into the Academy for Social Art that the association intends to set up in Bucharest.

Beneficiaries

  • 5 young Romanian collaborators from difficult backgrounds and former pupils of Fundatia Parada;
  • approximately 200 children and young people (aged 9-25) who benefit from the initiatives, shows and activities provided by Fundatia Parada;
  • pupils at the schools where Fundatia Parada conducts activities and presents shows.

Activities

Fundatia Parada has been working in support of children and young people for years. Its activities are characterised by the use of an innovative tool, circus art, directly in the streets, as if to show that the streets are not a disease to be treated but rather a condition that can be overcome. Public applause makes the participants feel acknowledged as people and so boosts their self-confidence.

Further, in 2010 Fondation Alta Mane supported the realisation of a summer drama camp in Italy for Romanian youth from Fundatia Parada and Italian youth.
