Partner with CISV to create local peace education projects that make a difference

Mosaic is CISV’s community-based programme that brings peace education to life through local action. Working together with partner organisations, CISV Chapters design and run short-term projects that address real needs in their communities, always with a global
perspective in mind.

Whether it's a recurring event, a school-based initiative, or a local campaign, Mosaic projects connect youth, volunteers, and partners to explore human rights, diversity, sustainability, and peace.

Programme Highlights:

  • Flexible format: from 1-day events to multi-week projects
  • Local focus with global awareness
  • Built in partnership with schools, NGOs, or community groups
  • Led by trained CISV volunteers and youth
  • Emphasis on active citizenship and local impact

What Makes Mosaic Special

  • Allows CISV to respond to local needs while applying its global values
  • Encourages youth leadership, creativity, and problem-solving

  • Supports the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

  • Anyone interested in running a local project with a peace education focus
  • All ages — Mosaic is often intergenerational
