OVERVIEW OF BIDNA CAPOEIRA:
Bidna Capoeira (BC) is not a capoeira school. BC is a social organisation that uses the sport and art form of capoeira as a psychosocial tool to help traumatised children and youth, particularly refugees. BC’s Social Capoeira approach is respectful to all capoeira styles and traditions, and we do not follow any particular school. Training takes place in conjunction with the input of a psycho social counsellor during the “social roda”. Our Social Capoeira goals include using principles of capoeira training, such as the development of confidence and self-respect, to produce positive societal impacts, such as decreased levels of violence and aggression, improved mental health, better school performances and increased positive behavioural choices. Bidna Capoeira was founded in 2007 working with street children in Syria and has been active in the West Bank, Palestine, since 2011. We are now opening an office in Jordan working in two refugee camps and in two refugee communities. For further information please see www.bidnacapoeira.org
