Functional Juggling is a creative initiative that uses the art of juggling as a tool for inclusion, coordination, and emotional expression. Through workshops and performances in schools, community centers, and NGOs, we introduce juggling as a fun and accessible way to improve focus, balance, and teamwork — while inspiring joy and curiosity.

In Armenia, a country still facing isolation and the effects of displacement, Functional Juggling offers a space for connection and empowerment. Participants learn not just tricks, but confidence and resilience — discovering that mistakes are part of the play, and success comes through rhythm and collaboration.

The project aims to deep the work already done with different institutions, where we have worked in 2025, with children and adults with disabilities (Unison NGO; Mayri), and elders (Mission Armenia).

Juggling transforms the way we think about learning, failure, and collaboration. It’s playful yet deeply human — an art form that brings people together across borders, languages, and abilities. In Armenia, where opportunities for creative and inclusive education are limited, this project opens new ways to move, think, and connect.

It also engages teachers and social workers, introducing them to new educational and therapeutic tools.

Functional Juggling in Armenia is more than a workshop — it’s a movement for joy, resilience, and inclusion through circus arts.

With your help, we can create more tools for engaging people with differrent mental and physical barriers, such as the Juggling Board, sensory props (beanbags, pois, etc), stilts, and others. We believe that your support can bring a lot of possibilities for Functional Juggling to get more visibility and importance inside Armenia, where it's still an unknown technique for many.
