Crescer e Viver NGO

Integrated with other artistic and cultural languages, the circus arts are deployed as tools for social intervention. This was the reason why the Crescer e Viver NGO established the Circo Social outreach circus in 2002, with a socio-educational methodology acknowledged by Unesco that permeates all the projects run by this Institution, headquartered in São Gonçalo, Rio de Janeiro State. It is used for supplementary education, fostering all-round development and promoting citizens’’ rights for at-risk children, adolescents and young people from seven to 24 years old.
