About NICA e.V.

NICA e.V. sees itself as a network that disseminates and develops inclusive circus educational methods.

Our work is based on project work, research, development and knowledge transfer. 

We strengthen regional, statewide, European and international networks for inclusive circus education and carry out projects with different target groups.

In collaboration with universities, we evaluate inclusive circus educational methods. We bring together different methods and develop them further. With further training, workshops and integration of the methods into the learning environment, we promote the transfer of knowledge. 

We operate both regionally and internationally.
