Hi. My name is Orla and I have been a part of CISV for around 6 years now and am currently and LJR ( local junior representative) for the Leeds branch. CISV has become a huge part of my life over the past years and has given me some incredible opportunities that I will never forget.
I have been on many camps over my time in CISV starting with a village to South Korea (aged 11), then a youth meeting to Japan (aged 13), and then a step up to London (aged 15), along with many other national camps, minicamps and training weekends. I have learnt so much about myself and other people through this!
My time in CISV has enabled me to learn so much about different countries/ cultures and differences along with similarities within them. As well as topics such as diversity, human rights, conflict and resolution, sustainable development!
One of the main things I love about CISV is all the amazing friends I have made across the world!
To find more information about the camps I have been on take a look at the rest of this site, and the CISV international websites! There are also some pictures of CISV activities on the gallery page.
