Sirkus Magenta

Clowning about proves good therapy
for Finland's disaffected youth

Finns are using the circus as a tool to help disaffected youth and even exporting the concept to Syrian refugee camps.
Sirkus Magenta's 20 trainers also teach juggling, unicycling and stilt walking as well as some valuable life lessons.
"Circus is as much about failure as it is about success and this is one of the first things we tell students," said Hudson. "There's a lot of falling over but you also learn when you fail and that's really important."
