Our partner networks
CCIVS - The Coordination Committee for International Voluntary Service
CCIVS is an International Non-Governmental Organisation (INGO) engaged in the field of International Voluntary Service (IVS). CCIVS’ main focus is the quest to achieve change in the minds of men and women by bringing together people of different backgrounds, otherwise known as International Voluntary Service (IVS). It supports and develops projects based on the idea that working together on a concrete task is the most effective way of creating international friendship and understanding. The projects serve as a catalyst for dialogue as they provide an opportunity to work together according to each person’s ability and to practice living together. In such situations national and international volunteers experience a new reality which can challenge their habits and convictions as well as those of the local community.
