❤️ OUR COMMUNITY. OUR RESPONSIBILITY. ❤️
The European Juggling Convention is more than a festival. It is a home for thousands of jugglers, circus artists, families and friends from all over the world.
That home only exists because we build it together.
As we prepare for EJC 2026, we'd like to remind everyone of the values that make our community so special.
💜 Respect each other.
💜 Respect personal boundaries.
💜 Ask for consent.
💜 Celebrate diversity.
💜 Support those around you.
💜 Speak up when something isn't right.
💜 Help create a space where everyone feels safe, welcome and included.
There is no place in our community for harassment, discrimination, bullying, intimidation, violence, non-consensual behaviour or any action that makes others feel unsafe.
Every participant, volunteer, artist, trader, organiser and visitor shares the responsibility of protecting the welcoming atmosphere that has made the EJC unique for decades.
A safe convention is not created by policies alone—it is created by thousands of small acts of kindness, respect and solidarity every single day.
If someone needs help, be there.
If you witness harmful behaviour, don't ignore it.
If you need support, our Safeguarding Team is here to listen and help.
Let's continue making the European Juggling Convention a place where everyone—regardless of nationality, age, gender, identity, ability, culture or experience—can learn, perform, play, connect and belong.
❤️ Together, we create the community we want to be part of.
Please take a moment to read our Community Expectations and help us make EJC 2026 our safest, kindest and most welcoming convention yet.
