We continuously seek to embrace joy and look at life with a positive outlook. We believe in the beauty of all human emotions. We can laugh at ourselves and seek out the magical moments that nurture our optimism and positive awareness.
Bringing joy to those in need
RED NOSES is an artistic organisation that was founded back in 1994.
While our organisation has witnessed a great deal of change and growth since then, our core mission has always remained the same: to share the power of humour and laughter with people in need of joy.
We are, and always have been, firm believers in the positive impact of art and humour on mental health.
It’s our mission to provide psychosocial support through the art of clowning and share laughter and hope with people facing challenging circumstances.
Our core values
Our theory of change
Our Theory of Change identifies the needs we see in the world and describes our goals and the change we want to work towards. These needs and goals come together to create the ‘why’ that drives all our individual programmes.
Strategy Overview 2021-2025
We stand now together as a group with another 4 years in front of us where we would like to move forward collectively and expand our mission to reach more people in need. We are ready to create an optimistic future where RED NOSES is actively taking a leading role in growing the Healthcare Clowning Movement, where our work in the healthcare sector becomes truly indispensable and where RED NOSES is bringing itself into a position to boost the change that we want to see in the world!
Therefore, over the next 4 years, we wish to develop and expand our programmes to better understand and meet the needs of our beneficiaries on the individual, the institutional and the systemic level. We want to strengthen our international organisation and develop our artistic quality further in order to reach more beneficiaries in an even deeper quality. We also would like to advance our knowledge and evidence base as well as advocate for the healthcare clowning profession.
