What is CISV?

 

CISV is an international voluntary organisation that has been bringing young people together to form global friendships for over sixty years. We aim to educate and inspire action for a more just and peaceful world: by building global friendship!

This is the website of the CISV Leeds & West Yorkshire Branch. We provide a range of unique, educational group activities, which develop cross-cultural understanding in children and adults. Here you can find information for young people wanting to get involved in the Junior Branch section. Information for parents and adults can be found in the Grown Ups section.

Take Action

How can there be peace without people understanding each other, and how can this be if they don’t know each other...
