CISV International (formerly ''Children's International Summer Villages'') was founded in 1950〔http://www.cisv.org/about-us/about-cisv-int/founder/〕 by Doris Twitchell Allen and aims to educate and inspire action for a more just and peaceful world. The organization operates international educational programmes on an annual basis to bring together participants from member countries. CISV also operates in smaller communities through its local Chapters. CISV International is a UNESCO partner Non Governmental Organization (NGO), holds participatory status with the Council of Europe and is a candidate member of the European Youth Forum.〔http://www.cisv.org/about-us/our-partners/〕 ==History== CISV was founded in 1950, after World War 2, by Doris Twitchell Allen. Since then, the organization has expanded into 80 countries, and over 150,000 delegates have participated in more than four thousand international CISV activities that delegates have made up over the course of these years.〔http://www.cisv.org/about-us/publications/〕 For Dr. Allen and the CISV organization, children and youth were seen as the ideal starting point for peace education. Programmes were developed which offered young people opportunities to meet their peers from other countries and to form intercultural friendships and to learn about what life is really like where they come from. Local programmes give people the chance to learn about the cultures in their own communities and explore important themes related to peace and understanding. The first village was held in 1951 in Glendale, Ohio; commissioned for its 50th anniversary, the sculpture "How Alike I Am to You” was created in 2000 by Tim Werrell and stands on the property of the Harry Whiting Brown Community Center in Glendale, Ohio. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「CISV International」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
