The circus camp at Compagnie Isis, Picardy, France has included twenty refugees each year since 2002. Ages 7 to 18, they were from Chechnya, Turkey, DR Congo, Iran, Afghanistan, Algeria, Kosovo, Georgia, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Congo-Brazzaville, Azerbaijan, Madagascar, Albania and Ukraine. Their families were clients of Coordination de l'Accueil des Familles Demandeuses d'Asile (CAFDA), a programme of the state funded association Centre d'Action Sociale Protestant providing social services to asylum-seeker families in Paris. Families were seeking asylum, in appeal or had been recognized as refugees (see Lloyd, 2003). Participants had been in France from three weeks to two years. Gender balance emphasis in selection ensured 8/20 female participants. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
