Facing up to new challenges, incorporating Circus Skills

Change the way you think about what your team can achieve

"Facing up to New Challenges" is an interactive, energetic, noisy and always fun intervention that uses the teaching of a series of carefully selected circus skills to bring new insights into how attitude and approach affects performance when facing challenges.

Benefits for your team

  • An engaging, shared and inclusive experience for all
  • Acquisition of new skills through accelerated learning techniques
  • Gets participants working outside their comfort zones in an entirely safe, non-threatening and risk-managed learning environment
  • Amaze your colleagues AND learn something new about yourself

Key features

  • Workshop led by experienced 'Edu-tainers'
  • Learning grounded through coaching support
  • Effective with small and large groups
  • A dynamic way to open or conclude your intervention

How it works

Working in teams, participants are taught up to four circus skills and encouraged to develop a supportive learning environment in which it is OK to:

  • Ask for help
  • Share newly learned skills
  • Acknowledge others' successes and performance

Each team will be asked to demonstrate their newly acquired skills in a showcase to be viewed by the whole group

Finally the teams come together as one group to undertake the Scimitar Throwing challenge!
