Building Global Friendship
We are a global community of dedicated volunteers, creating opportunities for all ages to experience the excitement and enrichment of cultural diversity through our educational programmes.
We are founded on our belief that peace is possible through friendship - and that the real
difference can be made by starting with children.
CISV provides a range of unique, education group activities, which develop cross-cultural understanding in children, youth and adults from around the world.
By encouraging respect for cultural difference and the development of self-awareness, CISV
empowers each participant to incorporate these values into their lives as they become global
citizens and strive for a more peaceful world.
