The planning, organization and implementation of the workshop will depend on various factors. First of all: your pedagogical project . Consider the goals and aims of your organization. What is their main vision? Is it the personal development of the participants? Their physical development? In some cases you will organize workshop in collaboration with other organization. Also consider the goals and aims of your partners. Are they institutional partners? Etc. Then you have to think about yourself . What do you want to achieve by implementing a circus workshop? What are your pedagogical objectives? And how can you reach them? Do you aim to develop personal and social competences of your participant or do you want them only to have fun? Do you want to create a show with the participants? You will have to adapt your objectives to your capacities, that mean that you will have to think about your technical skills and your teaching skills (group management, organization…).

Each toy included in this kit has its own story, design, and body of tricks. Most of them have a lower barrier to entry than juggling, and the following lessons of good posture, mindfulness, problem solving, and goal setting apply to all. Before getting started with any of the skill toys, it is important to remember to relax. Stand with legs shoulder width apart, bend your knees, and take deep breaths. Many of them require you to absorb energy. We have found that the more stressed a player is, the more likely he/she will be to struggle. Not surprisingly, adults tend to have this problem more than kids. If you have players getting frustrated, remind them to relax. Playing should be fun! Also, remind yourself and other players that even the drops or mess-ups can give us valuable information. If they observe what is happening when they attempt to use the skill toys, they can use this information to problem solve.
