At the Berlin Circus Festival we are working on making the program, the festival site and our work processes gradually more diverse and inclusive. It’s a learning process. To foster this development, we collaborate with external consultants in interdepartmental working groups in the fields of diversity, accessibility, and awareness in order to actively shape the organizational culture.
Currently, the Berlin Circus Festival is only partially accessible. On this page, you can find more information about each individual venue as well as information on the programme and what we offer in terms of accessibility.
