This year we are focused on sustainable development. Sustainable development combines economic and social well-being, with protecting the environment by using natural resources responsibly.

To show our committment to saving the environment, we are working in partnership with Earth Hour 2012. CISV International have issued a challenge to all CISV members; to go beyond the hour and help the environment.

Send your thoughts, activities or other resources to the Education Department. Join our group to discuss and plan for 2012

A number of Programme activities and projects are taking up the sustainable development cause. If you want to get started we have put together some helpful information and a collection of internet resources.
