CASCAS (Circus And Street Arts Come And See) was a European project to promote intercultural understanding and exchange. Between May 2010 and November 2011 it arranged four tours for four small groups of circus and street arts professionals in the project's partner countries (UK, Sweden, Finland and Belgium) as a way of introducing them to that country's conditions and working practices. As part of the project, four briefing documents were produced — short guides to the circus and street arts sectors in the partner countries that give a basic overview of government policy, key festivals and venues, example companies, etcetera.
