Afghan Educational Children Circus

AECC is an independent local Afghan nonprofit organization that was established on 05.03.2009 with support from its partner MMCC. AECC has gradually taken over most of the social circus activities which were implemented by MMCC earlier and now are only supported by some minor supervisions by MMCC. AECC works for the artistic, cultural social, and mental health of children and youth in Afghanistan. The pedagogy of AECC is called “Social Circus” meaning the utilization of physical arts for the personal and social development of underprivileged children and youth. AECC makes educational performances and workshops with themes such as peacebuilding, health education, landmine awareness, polio education mainly for students of the public schools and also the general public. AECC is active in multiple provinces of Afghanistan and has gained a very good reputation both in and out of Afghanistan.
