The Szkoła Podstawowa im. Bohaterów Listopada 1918 r. is a primary school located in Sobiechy , in northeastern Poland, within the municipality of Budry.
The school has developed an educational program called Młodzi Kreatywni, which offers students various activities to complement their school curriculum. These include circus pedagogy courses designed to promote learning, cooperation, and personal development.
Regular cycles of circus pedagogy
Circus activities are organized in cycles of several sessions .
In 2026 , the establishment offered groups of ten participants , with sessions scheduled from March to June .
A new cycle began on September 9, 2026 for students in grades 1 to 4. The educational project continues during the 2026–2027 school year.
This organization allows children to gradually discover circus techniques and develop their skills over the course of the sessions.
Discover juggling
Juggling is one of the main activities offered.
Students experience object manipulation exercises and games that develop coordination , concentration , and precision of movement.
The sessions allow difficulties to be addressed gradually and encourage children to persevere in their learning.
Juggling is thus used not only as an artistic practice, but also as an educational tool .
Circus games and personal development
The classes include various games and exercises inspired by circus arts.
The goal is to help students develop their motivation , attention , and confidence in their abilities.
Circus pedagogy values experimentation and individual progress . It allows children to discover new skills in a group setting.
Cooperation and relationships between students
The program places great emphasis on the social dimension of activities.
The exercises encourage mutual support , cooperation , trust and respect for other participants.
Students learn to support each other and contribute to a positive group atmosphere.
This approach is part of the institution's project, which seeks to improve the well-being of children through complementary educational activities.
Outdoor discovery workshops
In September 2025 , students also participated in an educational trip to Kacze Bagno .
The program included circus workshops , an introduction to stilt walking , artistic activities, and cooperation exercises.
This type of encounter allows children to experience circus arts in a different environment and to discover complementary disciplines.
A practice integrated into school teaching
The Szkoła Podstawowa w Sobiechach is not an independent circus school .
Circus activities are offered to students as part of a school educational project , with objectives focusing on coordination, concentration, motivation and social relations.
The establishment does not offer professional training in circus arts.
Thanks to its juggling cycles and its use of circus arts as learning tools, the Szkoła Podstawowa w Sobiechach constitutes a concrete example of the integration of circus pedagogy into primary education in Poland .
