A place full of magic and community is being created at Gehrenseestraße 73 in Berlin-Hohenschönhausen: From December 2nd, children and young people can take advantage of a free and daily leisure offer in “Anna – The Little Circus”, which allows them to experience the world of the circus in a playful way.

The neighborhood is cordially invited to experience the first performance at an open house on December 6th.

A circus for the youth – daily training, open doors

“Anna – The Little Circus” is aimed at children and young people aged four to 18 who want to try out juggling, acrobatics, clowning and other circus arts. From Monday to Friday, the ring becomes a training room every day:

  • CABUWINZIG: Training for children from 4 to 9 years, 4 p.m. to 6 p.m.
  • Afternoon training: For young people aged 9 to 18, also 4 p.m. to 6 p.m.

Registration is not required – just come along and join in!

Local actors from the district can also use the circus area for their own activities outside of training times. The tent will remain at its location until the end of 2025 and will become a central meeting point for neighborhood work and the community.

A proven concept is expanded

The project builds on the existing mobile circus offer, which has been taking place in the courtyards of Anna-Ebermann-Straße during the summer months since 2022. With the help of funding from the Lichtenberg Youth Welfare Office, this will now become a year-round offer with a fixed location. The aim is to offer participants a meaningful leisure space that strengthens their development and promotes a sense of community.

During the school holidays, the program is supplemented by special circus holiday workshops, which offer additional opportunities to delve deeply into the colorful world of the circus.

Strong Together – A Project for the Neighborhood

“Anna – The Little Circus” is more than just a leisure activity: it is a place where children and young people can discover talents, build self-confidence and make friends. At the same time, a lively space is created for the neighborhood that promotes community and creativity.

The initiators of the project - CABUWAZI Hohenschönhausen and HOWOGE - are sending a strong signal for cultural and social support in Hohenschönhausen. The project is supported by the Lichtenberg Youth Welfare Office, whose funding will enable long-term implementation until 2025.

Whether you're big or small, curious or brave: "Anna - The Little Circus" invites everyone to be part of this special journey. Ready, set, stage!
