1993. 1993. While the Balkan War was still ongoing, the Projecte School of Barcelona refused to look the other way. The students asked the clown Tortell Poltrona to visit children affected by the conflict.That gesture marked the beginning of a journey that has now lasted for more than thirty years. Since then, we have never stopped carrying out expeditions to support children affected by war and natural disasters, including those living as refugees.

The Baró d’Evel company undertook an expedition to Lebanon in 2023. 10 volunteer artists performed 11 shows for 3,616 people displaced.

Thank you to the artists, clowns, musicians, technicians, volunteers and collaborators who trust us to share our mission on such a meaningful day. In this way, we renew our commitment to refugee children, convinced that laughter is a powerful tool to help build a better world.

In Gevgelija, Macedonia, we work in a transit refugee camp, providing relief and emotional support to refugees arriving from conflict-affected countries such as Syria, Afghanistan, Iraq, and Somalia. This video shows how circus and laughter can bring a moment of calm and hope amid the uncertainty of displacement.

Homes, dones i nens encadenats, la majoria a la intempèrie, privats de menjar i aigua, alguns d'ells assotats regularment; o abandonats a les ciutats des de nens per les seves pròpies famílies. Una realitat desconeguda fins i tot per la majoria d'africans, ja que les famílies afectades ho amaguen per vergonya o per superstició. El documental es basa en la impressionant història d'un home, Grégoire Ahongbonon, un reparador de pneumàtics africà que un dia va decidir dedicar-se amb cos i ànima a una missió: rescatar, guarir i reinserir en la societat els oblidats dels oblidats, els malalts mentals africans.
