Official Founding of NICA e.V.

Establishing a Network for Inclusive Circus Arts

We are delighted to announce that on September 3, 2023, a significant milestone was reached in the inclusive circus landscape: the official founding of NICA e.V., the "Network for/of inclusive circus arts."

The founding was celebrated with a special touch: a gathering of the founding members in a park with a large portion of sushi – an unconventional yet memorable starting point for our association.

NICA e.V. is not just a platform for circus arts, but an ambitious project that aims to continue and intensify the path of inclusion in the performing arts. With the establishment of the association, we have created a legal framework that enables us to implement our goals in a systematic and organized manner.

We have already begun submitting the first project applications. With this, we are turning our intentions into concrete actions and making it clear that NICA is more than just the vision of a group of people – it is an active contribution to shaping an inclusive circus world.

In parallel with the application process, we have laid the technical foundations for our digital infrastructure. This opens up opportunities for us to work efficiently, exchange ideas, and professionally present our projects both internally and to the public.

With the founding of NICA e.V., we embrace the mission to continuously promote and strengthen inclusive circus arts. We look forward to the future with great anticipation and welcome any form of support and collaboration.

The founding of NICA e.V. marks the beginning of an exciting journey. Together with you, we look forward to a future where inclusive circus arts find their firm place in the heart of our society.

We thank you for your interest and support!
