- Summary:
- How do you teach special needs children circus skills? Get a professional circus to pitch its big-top in a field next to the school, and get them to train up the children for a real performance. The Christoph-Tornée School in North Germany caters for pupils with mild to moderate learning difficulties. For one week they have some rather unusual visitors. Circus Eldorado is a traditional family-run circus that offers project weeks to schools. They've set up their tents right next to the school, offering daily workshops to the pupils ranging from trapeze skills to animal handling. We follow three students throughout the week as they prepare for their big finale, a circus performance for friends and family. The programme demonstrates how an entire school can be involved in a single project, and how students can develop their self-confidence in unfamiliar environments away from the classroom.
