INTERCHANGE is ……
Interchange is the only CISV Programme that is family centered and allows for total immersion of the youth participant into a family's social and cultural life. This is acheived by living in a host partner's home and becoming part of the family.
The Interchange Programme is for our youth, ages 12 to 15, who are ready to begin exploring cross cultural communication.
Total cultural immersion allows participants to gain new insight into human similarities and gain interdependence. In addition, Interchanges provide the greatest opportunity to share the lessons that CISV has to offer as families are directly involved in all phases of the Programme.
