CISV offers international and regional programs that lead to peaceful coexistence.

Out into the world!

Children and young people aged 11 or older are invited to join in international CISV programs. Get to know new places, find friends from other cultures, experience different attitudes, experience interesting habits, inspect yourself and your usual environment consciously and see your everyday life with new eyes.

Just one step away.

CISV is a peace organization, not a travel agency. We are very active in the region, organize monthly activity afternoons for the younger ones, offer young people sensible leisure activities, organize smaller and larger family events and organize weekend camps on various topics and occasions.

International Programmes

International programs are Village, Step Up, Youth Meeting and Seminar Camp. The offer varies from year to year, the International Office coordinates invitations and delegations.
