This Year’s Theme & Travel Album
The theme of all CISV camps this year is Human Rights, a set of principles concerned with fairness and equality among people. While Human Rights can be a challenging topic to get one’s head around, it’s also incredibly interesting and tremendously important. It’s an area that every Active Global Citizen should be aware of, and able to think critically about, whether you are aged 11 or 111.
