federacion espanola de formacion profesional en el arte del circo

Spanish Federation of Vocational Training in Circus Arts (FEFPAC)

FEFPAC was created to:

• support the development of professional circus training in Spain
• represent the professional circus training sector in a concerted political action
• work towards official recognition of the circus arts in education

FEFPAC's actions are designed to benefit the circus education process on several levels. Its direct targeted audience comprises organisations that have developed full time training programmes and others that offer continuing training to circus professionals. Indirect beneficiaries are all those working with these institutions: young circus professionals, circus trainers, students and participants in the wider network of youth and leisure circus activities.

The network hopes to become the principal reference for the Spanish Culture and Education Ministries for assessment in regards to the development of a legal framework for circus education, and actions designed to support the education process.
