CISV Passport for

Active Global Citizenship

The Passport provides a summary of CISV’s approach to

Peace Education. It is a practical guide to what we do and

why we do it, and can be used as a handbook for CISV

training.

Content: Nine Sections

1.Peace Education and Active Global Citizens

2. About CISV

3. ASK for Active Global Citizens

4. Peace Education in CISV

5. Building Peace Education into our Programmes

6. Learning by doing

7. How we know if we are good at what we are doing

8. Fitting it all together

Peace Education provides us with the Attitudes,

Skills and Knowledge we need to become agents

of change, both locally and globally. In other

words, to become Active Global Citizens.

CISV educates and inspires

action for a more just and

peaceful world.

Active Global Citizens need a combination

of Attitudes, Skills and Knowledge (ASK).

In CISV we ensure that these Attitudes,

Skills and Knowledge are at the heart of

our educational goals and our approach

to learning

Happy Chinese New Year.

With the return of our 11 winter delegates we are all back

from the 2011 Programming. We are looking forward to

hearing how it all went. We will also be interested in

hearing how Ottawa’s Winter Camp went from Nicole

Park.

Our success is directly related to our volunteer efforts

administering programs and fundraising -as we support

our National Fees, Local projects and programs, our Fi-

nancial Assistance Fund, and hosting obligations. All of

which takes time, dedication and commitment on your

part to educate and inspire action for a more just and

peaceful world. Thank you, Kari and Peter, for spear-

heading a successful Cheese Campaign. Volunteering at

the Kinsmen Center on Bingo Night affords us free ser-

vices that we would otherwise have to pay.

Happy 20 th Birthday

Criminal Record Check

(Vulnerable Record check) Change

The change to this process means that some individuals (whose

date of birth and gender match a flagged record) will now have to

submit to fingerprinting. If required, this new process can add at

least 8 weeks to the CRC process. It is important that we are

aware of this in order to ensure CRCs are completed when they

are required.

CISV adults are encouraged to get a criminal record check, in

order to support our children’s participation in CISV activities.

CRCs are good for 2 years. Screening is an important part of our

risk management efforts which help ensure the safety and well-

being of our children.

CRCs must be completed by program leaders, Interchange fami-

lies , families hosting homestays youth delegates as well as

chaperones for local mini-camps. We are asking every member

to obtain a CRC.

If you live inside City limits your first contact is with City Hall (to

get an application). If you live outside City limits your contact is

the District 2 RCMP office in Oromocto. To pick up your CRC at

city you need 2 pieces of ID.

With a letter from CISV indicating you are a volun-

teer the city fee is reduced. Any questions please call

Marlien McKay , our Risk Manager at 459-1764.

Thank you, Donna, for maintaining the schedule. Thank

you everyone who supported these.

Call now for your choice of slots at our Mar 10 wkd

fundraiser at 3 ANBL outlets. Going along with this, we

welcome designs for a bookmark or business card of

sorts that can be handed.

CISV-National has given each Chapter $100 seed money

towards a new joint Junior /Adult boards fundraiser.

Prizes will be awarded. Any Ideas?

We are well into the 2012 program planning— rapidly

approaching Deadlines for filling delegations. Talk it up.

Anyone interested contact us.!
