Welcome to the second Summer Snapshot of 2017!

This Snapshot will feature our Step Up Jacksonville, Interchanges with Prague and Sweden, Villages to Portugal,  Canada and Belgium, Youth Meeting to Finland, and Seminar to El Salvador. 

Our Delegates for “Social Justice League” Step Up in Jacksonville have arrived. 
We are hosting delegates from 9 countries for a 3-week Step Up camp in Jacksonville.  The delegates have answered the call
to join the training ground, develop their powers and
hone their skills as champions of human rights.
Our CISV community welcomed the delegates for their first weekend and showed them many of the fun things our city has to offer.

Thank you to our host families!

Did you know the first Step Up was held in 1985. CISV’s Step Up program encourages young people to take a leading role in planning and organizing activities. The participants and their adult leaders use CISV’s peace education to guide the theme of the camp around which they plan activities, such as identity, democracy, or environmental protection.  Step Up delegations come from 9 countries and are comprised of 4 young people, 2 girls and 2 boys, who are accompanied by an adult leader. The camp is coordinated by adult staff.

Czech Republic and Sweden Interchange Delegations Enjoy First Week

The 10 delegates from Prague and 6 delegates from Sweden arrived in Jacksonville last Sunday to a great welcome from their American hosts.  All three countries – USA, Czech Republic and Sweden – went together to minicamp and participated in typical CISV activities.

  Village Delegation Leaves for London, Canada

Canada Village 2
Our Jacksonville delegates are going to “We the People” Village.  We the People is a concept that says by working as a group, the power of the individual is magnified. Anything can be achieved when we work in unison. We must stand up for ourselves, and act in a way that respects all members of society, and helps us grow together.

Portugal Village Underway

Our delegation left Jacksonville in time to arrive in Portugal for the start of the “This World is a Village” Village. The main CISV theme this year is Human Rights. That’s why it is important to be aware that, after all, This World is a Village, and everybody counts! We hope that our villagers leave the camp tolerant and aware of their  neighbors, wherever they go in the future!
