About me
Hi!!! My name is Daniel. I´m 30 years old, Spanish and I lived in the UK before this project.
During 8 years I´ve been learning circus in different schools and I´m a youth worker. It is great to teach children the same than what I’ve learned through circus: Art, sport, cooperation and confidence.
The project
Free Time
During the project we´ve assisted many performance, conventions and some courses to learn how to teach. It’s amazing to see new ways to teach and see how other countries understand circus.
It´s easy to get to know Belgium as it is a small country. And because it has border with 4 countries, I’ve been able to visit them. But my best memories are at home, making fire and playing music.
What did I learn professionally?
Professionally I learnt lot of new games and tools to teach circus and I developed my own circus techniques.
The project
I’ve been every day in Cirkus in Beweging in Leuven
teaching, assisting and making handy works in the school.
Accommodation Ours home is the best. It’s an island inside the city, with 2 big gardens, fire stuff and lot of space. And it just takes 15 min cycling to the school. Leuven is a perfect city to cycle.
What did I learn personally?
I learnt that the most important to feel good in any place is the friendship with people and this feeling of love make everyone bigger and make ourselves grow.
