CISV is a unique youth exchange organization. CISV evolved from a firm conviction that lasting peace is possible if individuals and groups can learn to live together as friends.

For CISV, the key to making this vision a reality, was to start working with children and youth.

Programs were developed which offered young people opportunities to meet their peers from other countries and to form intercultural friendships.

Locally, programs give people the chance to learn about the cultures in their own communities and explore important themes related to peace and understanding.
