CISV International is excited and pleased to announce the launch of a beautiful new film, produced by our partner organization momondo. Filmed at a Village in Sao Paulo, which was sponsored by momondo, the video follows children as they live and play together and learn about each other.

Do you believe there is hope for the future? The world can be a beautiful and open world, if we want to. These children from all over the world met and discovered that they had more in common than they could have ever imagined.

In this film, dear Mamas and papas, we find out what happens when 48 children from 12 different countries meet in a CISV camp, funded by Momondo and managed by CISV. We asked the children to write to their parents how they saw the world at the beginning and at the end of their stay in the camp. We are proud and honored to have been able to capture the beautiful feelings and thoughts shared by the children.

To help spread the message beyond the camp, momondo has also created two free educational school activities, designed in partnership with CISV and based on activities run in CISV camps, to help children understand the importance of mutual tolerance and respect.

The activities, Equally Different and Our Colourful World, teach how easy it is to apply (and remove) labels and stereotypes and Open Minds. They include activity sheets, teaching guides, and supplementary short films that illustrate the importance of open-mindedness.

The full kits are free to download in English on momondo's website, where you will also find news of an exciting competition, extra videos, and a 'behind the scenes' look at the making of Dear Mom and Dad!
