Children's International Summer Villages

The possibility of becoming friends with people of different backgrounds and life experiences is an essential part of CISV peace education. Our experiential based learning activities expand our view of the world, increase our self-awareness and allow us to be more aware of the needs of others.

Testimonials

"I was struck by how much we learned…Despite language barriers and cultural differences, we somehow managed to coexist for two weeks in very close quarters, while getting a tremendous amount of work done. It was a centering experience. When you are completely taken out of your element, you learn a lot about yourself. You can check your baggage at the door, and you can coexist with people and work toward a positive goal."
