Description:
VOLUNTEERS (Circus Trainers, Circus Artists, Administrative)
• INTERNATIONALS VOLUNTEERS
INTERNATIONAL VOLUNTEERING PROGRAM FOR INTERNATIONAL CIRCUS ARTISTS/ TRAINERS/ADMINSTRATIVE
Since its first days, PCS has worked together with and welcomed many international circus people, individuals and schools. It believes in the strong added value of international and intercultural cooperation and discovery for a whole set of reasons. All former international cooperation has played a major role in the advancement of our artistic, social and pedagogical work. As Palestinians being many times still very isolated from the world through the many travel restrictions, bringing people to Palestine allows Palestinians to meet and interact with new cultures. We also strongly believe in the mutual exchange of ideas and approaches to enrich each other and to offer internationals a taste of the Palestinian culture and its own way of developing social and contemporary circus.
Eligibility to apply for a volunteering position at the PCS:
• Be minimum 18 years old (Above 18 years old)

We very much stimulate people to apply for EVS support (link) and find a local sending organization through which you can apply for the EVS. But we are of course not restricted to people from Europe and people between 18 and 30 years old. People who do not fit for an EVS, don’t hesitate to apply
Decisions on being approved to come volunteer with us will be based on:
