Your participation in a CISV program is not simply a holiday pastime. CISV is more. Get to know a small part of the world, exchange experiences with peers, learn about foreign cultures, develop your personality, become independent, develop a stronger awareness of global issues, and improve your English skills by the way. Each CISV program is based on tried and tested concepts of “experiental learning”, which means that you gain new experiences and adapt to new skills – in your own way.
Included in the program fees are:
- International organization
- Overnight accommodation in double rooms or dormitories
- Full catering (CISV has mandatory minimum standards, dietary requirements are taken into account)
- International fees
- Obligatory CISV insurance
- Well-trained leader (for delegations)
- Local Leader Training (for individual delegates and leaders)
Villages and Step Ups also include stays with host families with no additional costs, since the host families also host the delegates voluntarily.
Additionally, you have to calculate
- Travel expenses (for Village CISV DFW collects a travel assessment)
- Proportionate travel expenses for the leader
- Possibly visas
- Possibly vaccinations
- Emergency money (this will be returned if not spent)
- Pocket money, guest gifts, souvenirs
- Interchange: stay, meals and entrances, … for the partner child and the leaders during hosting
