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

In the 2024 SportNZ Impact Report on Active Recreation for Rangatahi identified 5 area of Active Recreation, including Circus Arts as part of ‘Artistic Movement’. It’s awesome to see out industry recognized as part of this growing landscape.
