Instituto Cultural CircoLar (ICC) is a social organization based in Contagem (MG) that, since 2018, has been training artists and promoting circus culture. With a proposal that unites education, art and social impact, it acts as a school, cultural producer and center of reference in professional training and original creation.
Founded by the siblings: Lucas Castro, a teacher and artist with international training, and Deisy Castro, a manager with corporate experience, ICC was born from the desire to ensure that the circus is also a path to work, income, and belonging.
This initiative has a positive impact on people’s lives. The implemented projects align with our three pillars of action:
Culture, Knowledge, and Community.
