Plesni zbirkus is a festival of theater, contemporary dance and new circus for children, which aims to bring local and international performances of contemporary dance, new circus and theater for children, drama workshops, contemporary dance and movement, and new circus skills workshops for children and youth to the city of Rijeka. Plesni zbirkus is an inclusive programme for children: they are included in the organisation of the cultural event, co-creating and directly participating in the design of the programme, where they, with the help and expert guidance of trainers and educators, select performances and workshops themselves. They also get to know (and participate in) the decision making process and other important elements of the organization of the cultural event.
