Virtual Interchange with Brazil
2021-05-13 08:00 - 17:00
CISV Jacksonville is offering a virtual interchange with CISV Sao Paolo Brazil for youth who are rising 7th or 8th graders. The virtual interchange will include a mix of in-person activities in Jacksonville with the Jacksonville families and virtual synchronous and asynchronous activities with youth and their families in Brazil.
Here are the benefits of virtual interchanges.

No international travel so safer from COVID

No air travel so much less expensive (there will be a small program fee but we don’t know yet how much that will be – much less than normal)

Less immersive so less conflict with other things participants might want to do, such as travel with their family or participate in local activities (we anticipate some asynchronous activities and some synchronous meetings every week over a 4-6 week period in summer 2021)

More potential to emphasize partnership with a local nonprofits to advance CISV educational goals – including conversation about a solution-oriented culminating presentation jointly prepared by both delegations — families invited

Apply here
Virtual Interchanges would aim to maintain these benefits of traditional, in-person Interchanges:

Participants selected from chapters in delegations so youth and their families will get to know each other by planning some joint activities, helping to strengthen bonds within chapters

One-to-one matching of delegates from the two countries, for communication and relationship-building across cultures

Some level of communication among families of paired delegates; inclusion of families in some virtual Interchange activities, building enthusiasm for CISV among parents

Deep dive into the culture of one partner country, rather than connecting with people from a range of countries

Smaller number of people involved than with a CISV camp, which makes the whole program easier to manage

Activities relating to CISV educational goals, organizational culture and themes

Trained adult leaders guiding delegations and helping delegations plan for months before the actual Interchange starts

National nights organized by both delegations, with sharing of recipes and culture – families invited

Here’s a video about virtual exchanges generally that will help you understand these types of programs.

JB Winter Minicamp - postponed to April 17
2021-04-17 09:00
What is Mini Camp in 2021?
Mini Camp will be an incredible day-long camp experience; jam-packed with fun CISV activities, top notch educational content, awesome people, energizers galore, and so much more! Our awesome CISV Jacksonville Junior Branch Board are planning an amazing mini camp for you.
Serious theme: Human Rights
Fun Theme: Pirates
Since many of the participants are from different schools, the minicamp will start with “name games” and other “getting to know you activities so don’t worry about not knowing anyone when the camp begins. Saturday will be a full day with 4-5 activities surrounding the theme of human rights. Each activity will be followed by a “debrief” where we discuss our “attitudes, skills and knowledge” that have been changed or influenced by the activity.
What are the Covid precautions?
Participants must wear masks. Most activities will be conducted out of doors (weather permitting) and six feet apart from each other. The campsite has a number of rooms and outdoor areas that allow social distancing. Participants must bring their own lunches and snacks. Participation will be limited to 50 participants, including adult chaperones and JB Board members. Activities will be planned to avoid kids’ touching. We will take temperatures of participants and have all participants confirm their wellness immediately before the event.
On the morning of Feb 13, the parent/legal guardian of any child signed up for minicamp must complete this questionnaire. If any questions are answered yes, CISV asks that the child not attend minicamp. The questionnaire allows you to specify how you want your minicamp fees to be refunded.
How do I register?
Youth participants register here: https://form.jotform.com/82337130653149
Adult chaperones and participants age 18+ register here: https://form.jotform.com/203371630227144

What is Mini Camp?
Mini Camp is an incredible weekend; jam-packed with fun CISV activities, top notch educational content, awesome people, energizers galore, and so much more! Our awesome CISV Jacksonville Junior Branch Board are planning an amazing mini camp for you.
Fun theme: Dinosaurs
Serious theme: Sustainable Development
Since many of the participants are from different schools, the minicamp will start with “name games” and other “getting to know you activities so don’t worry about not knowing anyone when the camp begins. Saturday and Sunday will be full days with 4-5 activities surrounding this theme. Each activity will be followed by a “debrief” where we discuss our “attitudes, skills and knowledge” that have been changed or influenced by the activity.
