JustPlay has had fun with communities around the globe including:

• Deaf young people in Cambodia
• Children suffering the effects of HIV & heroin addiction in rural China
• Young people living in a conflict zone in rural Colombia
• Refugees living in camps in Calais & Dunkirk, France
• Street children in Ghana
• Children suffering the after effects of the chemical explosion in Bhopal, India
• Tsunami survivors in Sri Lanka & Thailand
• Children living in an orphanage in Tanzania
• Syrian refugee children in Lebanon
• Homeless people & Irish traveller children in London, UK

JustPlay founders Jo & Jake, together with their son Roo, have generally worked on these projects under the umbrella of a parent organisation, or in partnership with local NGOs.

Projects are tailored to the needs of the local community; the requirements and constraints of the local situation. Some or all of these elements may be included:

• Informal play sessions involving circus equipment &/or games
• Structured workshops in circus skills for beginners
• Structured workshops in intermediate acrobalance
• Structured workshops in theatre skills &/or improvisation
• Structured workshops in Forum Theatre techniques
• Shows co-devised with and for the local community, involving circus skills and/or Forum Theatre techniques
• Free professional shows to entertain the community
