what is a village? Early life experiences shape the way we see the world. CISV Villages are international camps that inspire 11-year old children to imagine a more just and peaceful world. The children come together from many different countries to take part in a variety of educational, cultural and fun activities. A Village creates a safe setting in which children from around the world learn about each other's lives and cultures and how to communicate, cooperate and live together. The Village learning experiences and the friendships made last a lifetime.
goals of the village programme

To develop friendships within the group
