CISV is about changing attitudes. Programs are interactive, action-oriented, sensitive to cultural variation, multilingual and fun. CISV favours ‘learning by doing’. This means learning through direct, personal experience, rather than from reading books or listening to lectures. It is the basic educational approach of all CISV Programmes and this process is also referred to as ‘Experiential Learning’.

“Do”, have hands-on experience

“Reflect” on what they have done

“Generalize” what they have learned

“Apply” what they have learned
