Sirkhane Social Circus School

Sirkhane is a social circus school founded in 2012 in a region where it is difficult to be a child. Sirkhane’s mission is to provide a safe, friendly and embracing environment for children, who are affected by conflicts. We replace their damaged childhood with joy and enrich the children’s imagination using the magic of social circus pedagogy. Children have the opportunity to collaborate and form friendships with one other, beyond gender, social and cultural differences. In doing so, they manifest peace, harmony, open-mindedness, and cheerfulness in their local and global communities. Sirkhane is carrying out activities in Turkey and Iraq serving children through Sirkhane centers located in Mardin province and to rural areas of Mardin province through mobile units.
