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.
