CISV (Children's International Summer Villages) is an independant, non-political volunteer organization promoting peace education and cross cultural friendship. The local CISV which is CISV Ivory Coast in west Africa was created in March 2005.
CISV aims to prepare individuals to become active and contributing members of a peaceful global society. It encourages the development of friendly relationships, effective communication, leadership skills, and corporative abilities towards a world that is both just and fair. It offers opportunities for interested children, young people, adults and families to explore relevant themes, through informal educational activities organized in local, national, and international contexts.
CISV programs are planned to promote personal, cultural, intercultural and 
international learning. This enables individuals to develop awareness of, and positive attitudes towards others, and the skills and knowledge to live, play and work with them, irrespective of cultural background.
Our works are carried out by a large, international network of delicated volunteers of all ages. There are CISV activities at the local (chapter), national and international levels.These activities are organized and staffed by volunteer members, who also raise the majority of necessary funds. Their administrative work is supported by the international office in England.
