2019 Sweden Delegates “Children’s Intergalatic Spaceship Voyage” Village works with the theme of a spaceship travelling through the universe. The Village will discover and explore new worlds, learn about what kind of conflicts they may have, and try to figure out how to find good solutions to them. The name of our spaceship (and of our camp) is the Children’s Intergalactic Spaceship Voyager!
See their experiences here.
Sweden Seminar
Our delegate to Sweden joins other 17 and 18 year olds from 13 countries for Seminar camp where the delegates facilitate their own program, cook their own meals and design their own activities. The precamp states “Conflict happens all around us, every day. It can be big (like the conflicts in Yemen, Syria or Ukraine) or small (like the project group member in school who doesn’t help out). During the seminar camp, you will discuss conflicts you have experienced in your life, but you will also have to deal with the conflicts that arise from living together in a foreign environment. Follow her experience in this photo album. Sweden International Peoples Project Two delegates from our chapter have volunteered to serve on a community service project in Malmo, Sweden. They are working with various partner organizations on projects exploring the theme of safety. “The goal at this International Peoples Project is to create a cultural exhibition with the tag-line: More Photos
