Each CISV program is different, but they all have common goals and things they want to achieve.
Active Global Citizens need a combination of attitude, skills and knowledge.
Attitudes - how we think and behave:
- Being open minded
- Behaving flexibly
- Willingness to include people
- Taking responsibility for our own actions and decisions
Skills - our ability to/for:
- Communicate
- Leadership
- Self-reflection
- Creative Problem Solving
Knowledge - information we gain about:
- Population dynamics
- Community concerns
- Geographical facts
- Environmental issues
The four main content areas of Peace Education in CISV programs are...
Diversity - explores the identity of the individual and then asks us to consider ourselves within our own and the wider community
Human Rights - considers how human rights affect every aspect of our lives and how violations can lie at the root of problems such as poverty, violence and lawlessness
Conflict and Resolution (the theme of 2011) - helps us to understand how conflicts can arise deliberately or otherwise and what can be done to help bring a peaceful resolution
Sustainable Development - looks for integrated ways to promote economic and social well being, while protecting the environment through the responsible use of natural resources
