RIGGERS Project Evaluation

This report—written by Saar Rombout, evaluator of the RIGGERS project—aims to explore the evolving role of riggers in professional circus schools, with the objective of enhancing safety standards and fostering a strong, collaborative international rigging community.

RIGGERS (React, Invent, Get together for a Goal: Expertise in Rigging Services) is a European project developed by FEDEC to respond to the specific needs of riggers working in circus education. The project focuses on improving the quality of safety measures while encouraging the exchange of expertise, practical solutions, and innovative practices among professionals across borders.

RIGGERS is a joint project with Stockholm University of the Arts (SKH) in Sweden, and is co-funded by the European Commission’s Erasmus+ programme.

This document presents the project’s practical outcomes and analyses the experiences and insights collected during its course.
