By encouraging respect for cultural differences and the development of self-awareness, CISV empowers each participant to incorporate these values into their lives as they become global citizens and strive for a more peaceful world.<p fr-original-style="width:100%;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;box-sizing:inherit;color:rgb(15, 14, 91);line-height:1.15;" style="width: 100%; margin: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: rgb(15, 14, 91); line-height: 1.15;"> <p fr-original-style="width:100%;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;box-sizing:inherit;color:rgb(15, 14, 91);line-height:1.15;" style="width: 100%; margin: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: rgb(15, 14, 91); line-height: 1.15;">Purpose:<p fr-original-style="width:100%;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;box-sizing:inherit;color:rgb(15, 14, 91);line-height:1.15;" style="width: 100%; margin: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: rgb(15, 14, 91); line-height: 1.15;">CISV was founded in the belief that peace is possible through building friendship and mutual understanding, starting with children. Our organization&#39;s founder believed that by creating opportunities for children of different backgrounds to come together to learn about each other and become friends, they would grow up to become ambassadors for a more just and peaceful world. We aim to stimulate the life-long development of amicable relationships, effective communication, co-operation, and leadership skills. We believe fostering friendship between people of different nationalities, gender, age, race, culture, and class is a key building-block for peace. We use an active, age-appropriate, experiential, &ldquo;learning by doing&rdquo; approach to deliver our peace education, which makes learning fun and memorable for the youth we serve. We have four peace education content areas that are explored in all our educational youth programs including Human Rights, Diversity, Conflict &amp; Resolution, and Sustainable Development.<p fr-original-style="width:100%;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;box-sizing:inherit;color:rgb(15, 14, 91);line-height:1.15;" style="width: 100%; margin: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: rgb(15, 14, 91); line-height: 1.15;"> <p fr-original-style="width:100%;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;box-sizing:inherit;color:rgb(15, 14, 91);line-height:1.15;" style="width: 100%; margin: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: rgb(15, 14, 91); line-height: 1.15;">Why Should I Join?<p fr-original-style="width:100%;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;box-sizing:inherit;color:rgb(15, 14, 91);line-height:1.15;" style="width: 100%; margin: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: rgb(15, 14, 91); line-height: 1.15;">Your support via annual membership (valid Jan 1 - Dec 31) is greatly appreciated and helps support peace education programming for youth in our local communities.
