This introductory video featuring Jacksonville CISV participants and their friends explain the Interchange program.
While based on the same educational principles as CISV’s camp-based programs, Interchange encourages a deeper encounter between two cultures by placing young people within families.
Interchange takes place in two ‘phases’ – you and your family host a child from another country; then in return, your child joins a delegation that visits the other country and is hosted there by a CISV family.
Interchange gives your whole family the chance to experience another culture and make new friends, while being part of your local CISV community.
CISV Jacksonville has a long history of coordinating Interchanges –check out some recent ones:
Summer 2018 (See the photo albums – Denmark & France)
