Our Educational Approach

... learning by doing

Conventional education focuses on knowledge and sometimes on skills. However, at CISV we believe that the most effective learning takes place when we have engaging first-hand experiences.

As a result, our educational approach uses experiential methods to develop intercultural competence. This requires a focus on:

Developing awareness
Fostering positive attitudes
Increasing skills
Acquiring knowledge
