Circus Without Borders: Uplifting Youth Voices through the Arts- Virtual screening and visual storytelling workshops featuring professional filmmakers and circus performers
Presented by: Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting

Students will attend a virtual screening of Circus Without Borders, a feature-length documentary film exploring how communities in the Canadian Arctic and Guinea are using circus to celebrate their cultures, while also combating apathy and depression amongst youth. The screening will start and conclude with short exercises that introduce students to film analysis skills. Students will also connect with the film's director, and two of the featured acrobats from the film, for a post-screening discussion and circus performance. As part of a post-screening workshop, students will apply what they learned about visual storytelling to the design of storyboards for original films documenting ways of combating conflicts in their communities. Pre- and post-screening workshops can be taught virtually as well. Note: For schools that are able to schedule multiple classes for the screening (75-100 students), Pulitzer Center can schedule a separate screening on a day that is preferable for the school.

If the trip is not confirmed within 48 hours and the Key Communicator/Teacher attending do not respond to reminders, we will cancel the trip.
