Projects

PWB projects work under the following principles:

Education should provide the child with a wide range of life skills and contain aspects of fun and playing.
Self confidence development is key for the disadvantaged.
Learning and developing performance skills has great rewards.
Fostering cross cultural and community links benefits all involved.
Development work is sustainable only through long term contact.
The community is the main actor in development.

So far the main focus of PWB projects have been on circus. Why circus?

It is an excellent form of exercise in a non-compeitive environment.
It teaches children to work together towards a common goal.
The basics are quick to learn giving the child a great sense of achievement.
In order to advance, practice and dedication are required - teaching the children that learning can be fun.
The teaching of circus is possible in an environment where more than one language is spoken.
Circus can combine many other forms of performing arts such as theatre, dance and music.
