Elevating Circus Arts for Rangatahi in Aotearoa
SportNZ approached ANZCA to codesign and fund a proposal to support Rangatahi to engage in Active Recreation through Circus.
Over the next two years (June 2025-July 2027) we will collaborate with circus industry leaders and organizations throughout Aotearoa, New Zealand to create a national strategy to engage and support rangatahi in pursuing entry and career pathways in circus arts.
This is a super exciting opportunity and we look forward to seeing the strengthening and development of our sector through this mahi
