CISV's mission is to educate and inspire action for a more just and peaceful world. We do this by promoting intercultural friendship, cooperation, and understanding, and by helping participants develop the skills needed to become informed, responsible, and active global citizens.
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.
Mission
CISV educates and inspires action for a more just and peaceful world.
Background Statement
Following the devastation of WWII and conceived by Dr. Doris Allen in 1946, CISV was developed to bring together children from all over the globe to learn to respect different and common values. CISV Rocky Mountain Denver was founded in 1999 shortly after the tragic Columbine High School massacre by three women who saw the great opportunity to bring peace to our region, especially for our children.
