ABOUT OUR VILLAGE

What is peacissimo?

Every CISV village has a theme, and the theme of our 2011 village in Brussels is: Peacissimo!

What does it mean? None of us are exactly sure. Its an all-purpose word that describes a way of

being and a state of mind. But what it relates to is the universal language that all people

everywhere have in common: the language of music and dance.

Theres a reason why people salsa or breakdance

in every country on earth, and why Shakira can be

just as popular in Germany as Beethoven is in

Colombia. The reason is, music and dance

transcend culture and national boundaries.Everyone likes a good beat, a beautiful song, or a

hot move on the dancefloor, even if they cant

understand the lyrics. Often, we can communicate

better through music than we can with words

you dont have to speak English to understand the

joy in Bob Marleys reggae, the anger and passion

in Rage Against the Machines protest songs, or

the energy in an Usher dance track.

So, peacissimo is about that feeling you get when

everyone is brought together to sing or dancealong with a song that they love, and the potential

that feeling has to unite us and break down

barriers. If you like to sing, rap, chant, or cheer . . .

if you like to head-spin, backflip, jive or samba . . .

you are going to like this village.

Peacissimo wont mean the same thing to

everyone, and it doesnt have to. There are no

right or wrong answers to the question:

What is peacissimo?

Peacissimo! is also an all-purpose word for something thats as great as a good song or a fun

dance, and to get you practicing here are some ways you can use it:

Having a theme enables us to give some coherence to camp activities, focus on a few

educational objectives, and come up with ridiculously creative ideas for games. The theme also

means that everyone can start preparing for camp nowmore on that later. Please make sure

your delegation knows all about the theme!

Who is Gaston Lagaffe?

Gaston Lagaffe is the mascot of our village. Hes a character from a

famous BD (comic strip) created in 1957 by the Belgian artist Andr

Franquin. Gaston is an accident-prone office worker, sometimes lazy

and sometimes hyperactive, who became very popular in parts of

Europe but has not been translated much into English. Gaston goes

by various names in various languages: Guust Flater in Dutch, Toms

el Gafe in Spanish, Gasto Dabronca in Portuguese, Viggo in

Norwegian, Niilo Pielinen in Finnish, and simply Gaston in German.

Why pick a lazy, accident-prone comic book character as our mascot?

First of all, Gastons days consist ofslapstick comedy and running

gags, which will also fill our time at village; and his sunny outlook on

life is the sort of attitude we hope everyone will bring to Brussels. But more importantly, he

plays the gaffophone, a bizarre and magical combination of the horn and harp that Gaston

created himself. The gaffophone produces a sound so awful, so loud that it causes total chaos

wherever its played. And Gaston loves it, no matter how much everyone else hates it. Gaston

symbolizes a creative love of music-making, and we will honour his example when we assemble

for the Gaffophone Orchestra at the village . . . an Orchestra that will result in totalpeacissimo!

. . . and a little about Belgium

Bonjour! Goeiendag! Hallo!

Thats how you say hello in Belgiums three official languages (French, Dutch, and German). Ours

is a small country on the left-hand side of Europe, bordering France to the south, Netherlands to

about the size of Cuba or Portugal. Peacissimo! Village will take place in Wemmel, a town just

outside Brussels, the capital of Belgium and seat of the European Union.

Key facts about Belgium:

Scientists have confirmed, there is nowhere in the world where people take chocolate moreseriously than Belgium.

Belgians consume 150 litres of beer each year. Belgium makes 88% of the billiards balls used in the world. A Belgian named Adolpe Sax invented the saxophone. Another Belgian, Herg, invented the famous comic book character Tintin.

ARRIVING AND DEPARTING

Your arrival

If you travel by train, we will meet you at Brussels South Station or Brussels

Central Station.

If you travel by plane, we will meet you at Brussels National Airport. If you arrive

at Brussels Airport South, you have to know that this airport is notin Brussels,

its in Charleroi, not that far away, but we may not be able to pick you up there.

You will have to take the bus or the train to meet us.

Please wear your CISV t-shirtsthey make you easier to find!

Let us know as soon as possible when (with the precise time) and where you will be arriving (station

or airport). Please mention clearly the number and departure city of your plane or train! We would

also like to know the exact date and time when you intend to leave, so that we can prepare the

organization of departures. We won't have much help at that time, because of the holidays.

Important: Do you need a visa to come to Belgium?

Most delegations will be able to come to Belgium for a maximum of 90

days without a visa, but we believe two of the delegations (Ecuador and

Egypt) will need C visas in advance of their arrival. It takes some time to

get a Belgian visa, and we will do whatever we can to help; please contact

us as soon as possible if you think your delegates need visas.

7/19


If it is impossible for you to arrive on that very day, just come one day earlier: we will try to find an

accommodation in families in Brussels or around. We would be sorry if you didn't attend the

beginning of the Village. CISV allows an outmost stay of two nights in a family before or after the

Village.If you wish to spend the night in a family (as a rule two families for one delegation) please tell usbefore May 25th.

Your departure

We do insist on the fact that you shouldn't leave earlier than Friday July 29th: your experience

wouldn't be a complete one and you would be sorry for it. If you can't get a plane on that very day,

we will try to find an accommodation for you in families in Brussels. But in this case too, you should

tell us before June 17th.

Don't accept a flight or a train before 10 A.M.; think of the time for the trip to the airport, were notthat far away, but it always takes some time!

We allow ourselves to point out to you that it isn't always easy for us to find families who are ready

to accept delegations in July, since this month is officially devoted to the holidays (workplaces and

offices are closed) and many families are staying abroad. That's why it might be better for you to

book rooms in a hotel, if you wish to do some sightseeing before or after the village. It is possible

for us to help you if you ask us in time.

Anyway, even if you spend the night in a family, the whole delegation won't necessarily stay with

the same family; you might be housed rather far away from each other.

WHAT TO BRING, WHAT TO PREPARE

What to bring

We cannot forecast the weather for July. It may be warm (20C), very warm (25C to 30C) or it may

be rainy and cold (5C to 15C) for a couple of days. Such is Belgium! So it's a good idea to dress

light, but with at least one jumper / hoodie, a raincoat, and waterproof shoes.

Here's what we would recommend for a packing list:

Clothes, socks, and underwear everyone needs at least 10 days' worth of clothing Sleeping clothes or pyjamas Footwear please bring two pairs of running shoes or sneakers, a pair of sandals

(flipflops), and waterproof shoes or boots

Semi-formal Clothes at least one set, in case we decide to dress nicely for a change Towels please bring 2 towels (i.e., 1 beach towel and 1 bath towel)


8/19


Personal toiletries: soap, toothbrush, toothpaste, shampoo, conditioner, deodorant,hairbrush, etc.

Hat, sunglasses, sun block (SPF 30+) and insect repellent Personal medicines and medications (bring enough for the whole camp), and

prescriptions for refills if these are vital

Costume needed for your national night Small gifts for trading and swapping stuff, and giveaways (things to trade or to display at

open day, or swap with friends on camp); something small for your host families might

be nice as well

Prescription glasses and spare contact lenses if you need them (with a spare prescriptionin English)

Backpack useful for travelling and daytrips Waterproof raincoat Camera and memory card, flashlight Power adapters and chargers for all of you electronic stuff Belgium uses 220V power

Laundry bag CISV t-shirts Your national flag (if possible, 1m x 1.5m) National costume, or something that would be worn in your country (leaders and JCs,

too!)

Some crazy clothes for games, activities, music videos, etc. Musical instruments from your country All the completed forms described in the previous section CISV spirit!

Note: There is a swimming pool at the village site! But you will not be allowed to use it without a

Speedo-type swimsuit. That means no boxers or shorts allowed. Not everyone will be happy withthis, but it's the rules of the pool and we have to live with them. Bikinis are not allowed in the

swimming pool area.

All your clothes should be marked with your name and the name of your country!

What not to bring

Jewellery, chains, medals, watches, bracelets and other valuables Mobile phones please let the kids know that these will be taken

off them immediately Personal electronic devices like laptops, camcorders, iPods or

MP3 players, and PSPs or GameBoys are obviously lifesavers on

the plane, but we will ask everyone to hand theirs in as they

arrive at camp; iPods and MP3 players can be made available if

needed for village-specific activities or games


9/19


What to prepare (1): Get ready to feel the peacissimo!

Our goal is to create as much peacissimo as possible throughout the four weeks of the village.

When the delegations arrive, staff and leaders will sit together and brainstorm ideas about howbring the theme to life for everyone. In the meantime, we have some activities planned that you

and your kids will need to prepare for:

Each delegation is requested to invent a new, never-seen-before musical instrument tobring to the village. You and your kids should design this instrument, and the only rules

are (1) it must be something new, (2) it must make a lot of noise, and (3) it should involve

as many members of the delegation as possible. Give your instrument a name, and bring

all the parts you need for it to Belgium (if you need extra parts, you can contact us and

well see if we can help). What are we going to do with these amazing new musical

instruments? Two words: Gaffophone Orchestra. More on that later.

Each delegation is requested to bring as much music as possiblesongs you can sing, orrecordings of songs in any genre. Tapes, CDs, vinyl, iPods: all are welcome. We want to

hear the music that you like, the music that inspires and moves you, and we want you to

be ready to tell us about it. Music from your country that other people probably havent

heard is best. More sharing = more peacissimo!

Can you or any of your kids play a musical instrument? Guitar, trumpet, hand-drum,bassoon? If so, and the instruments can be transported to Belgium, please bring them.

Also musical talents are welcome. Please note that it will not be possible for us to

provide instruments to delegates (though Michael has a guitar he will lend to anyone

that knows Whats New Pussycat?).

Last but not least: Its possible we will make a music video. Not just any music video, butthe most spectacular, costume-filled, singing-and-dancing video in CISV history. With

the help of YouTube, this video will spread the peacissimo out from our village and into

the wider, unexpecting (though inevitably thrilled) world. You and your kids must join the

Facebook page to find out more, and get a chance at voting in advance on which song

will be used for the video. Dont wait!

What to prepare (2): National nights!

At every village, each delegation presents its country during an evening / day. National nights

usually involve traditional or popular costumes, dances, songs, games, and slides or other images

showing what your country looks like, the kids and their families, their pets and friends, their

homes, their schools. A national night presentation usually lasts about 1 hours. We want to know

more about where you come from, and we want it to be as fun as possible.


10/19


Since the theme of the village is music and dance, the more music and dancing the better! Please

note that this does not necessarily mean you have to present traditional music and folk dances

we want to hear the music kids in your country listen to and the dances that they like to do.

Contemporary music is welcome! Your national night presentation should be ready in advance of

arriving at camp, we do not want kids missing out on fun and games to practice.

Each delegation should bring a small, typical light meal from home, such as sweets, sandwiches, or

anything that is easy to prepare and can be handed out at the end of the evening or at any other

moment. If you want to prepare something special, let us know in advance so we can try to arrange

it in the kitchen. Beware that we might not be able to find the kind of food you ask for, so it might

be better to bring it with you.

We will have the following equipment for use on national nights:

Sound system for CDs, iPods, etc.

PowerPoint projector and laptop with CD-ROM playerWhat to prepare (3): Don't forget the placemats!

Placements are a CISV tradition! Please bring an A4 sheet of paper which is a collage about you and

your delegation, laminated if possible. Make it a big mixture of pictures and photos and photos of

your family, friends and things that you do. Be colourful and creative!

YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED, A-Z

Accommodations

The kids will sleep in small rooms with two campers in each. Bathrooms

and showers will be shared, and are located in the same building as

bedrooms. Please let your kids know that we will try to mix them up, and

it is not for sure they will be able to sleep in a room with kids from the

same country. There will be sheets and blankets on the beds, but no

towels! Leaders and JCs will have the same accommodation

arrangements.

Camp Shop

We will have a camp shop! It will sell snacks, postcards, stamps, and other stuff. The shop will be

opened once each day and managed by the JCs. Once a week, a souvenir-shop will be opened,

where it will be possible for participants to buy small souvenirs of Belgium, like lacework, books,

CISV t-shirts, etc. Those items are cheaper than in other shops for we buy them in large quantities.


11/19


Communicating with the outside world: internet, phones and mail

We are still trying to confirm what kind of internet access we will have at the camp site, and will

update you in precamp 3. Delegates will not have access to the internet, but parents can email

their kids at [email protected]. Emails will be printed out twice each week for

delegates. Please tell parents that they should clearly indicate the name of their child and theircountry in the subject line of each email. Parents can also join our Facebook group and receive

regular updates and photos about what is happening in the village. Leaders will have access to

the internet, but parents should not expect to receive more than two or three updates from you

in the course of the village.

Kids are always happy to receive letters from home during a village; families should make sure

to write early. Parents may also wish to write letters and give these to the leaders before they

come to Belgium that can be given out during the camp. It is also nice for families at home to

receive letters and postcards from their children; we will have postcards available for you to

purchase and will arrange to buy stamps so that you can send letters and postcards home.

Leaders, please inform your delegations families and your chapter that you will only be able to

access a telephone at camp in emergency situations; this is true for JCs, too. Delegates will not

be able to make or receive telephone calls at any point during the camp. We will allow leaders

to contact your delegates families on arrival. Leaders can bring mobile phones with them if they

would like, although you wont have much time to use them! We understand that it is often

good to send a quick text message to your families during the camp.

Drugs, alcohol and smoking

So, obviously the use of narcotic and hallucinogenic drugs is not permitted at any CISV event.We expect that everyone will respect this rule, and the laws of Belgium. Anyone who violates this

rule will be sent home immediately at their own expense.

In Belgium, it is legal to purchase and consume alcohol at the age of 16; however, there will be

no alcohol permitted on the site.

While it is legal to smoke cigarettes in Belgium, the camp site is a strictly non-smoking facility.

Leaders will only be able to smoke in designated smoking areas . . . far, far away from the rest of

us. It is illegal in Belgium for anyone under the age of 16 to purchase or consume tobacco and

tobacco products like cigarettes, and this will be enforced at the village.

Exchanges

Its a longstanding tradition for kids at CISV events to trade small items from their countries, such

as stamps, coins, postcards, etc. It would be worthwhile for you to inform your kids about this in

advance and discuss what sorts of items they might want to take to exchange.


12/19


Food and diet

Our food will be prepared by an excellent kitchen staff team. It might not be possible to make

everyone happy all of the time, but we will do what we can to prevent food-related rioting.

Here's what a typical Belgian meal might look like:

For breakfast (morning), bread and butter, jam, chocolate, coffee, juice, tea or milk For lunch (afternoon), a warm meal with soup, some meat and vegetables, potatoes and

dessert

For dinner, bread, butter, jam cheese or cooked meat, warm dishes (the main meal is atlunch)

Important: If you or your delegates have special food or dietary needsallergies to peanuts or

something else, or halal, kosher, vegetarian-vegan requirements etc.please let us know as soon

as possible.

Health

The health care system in Belgium is excellent; there is a hospital nearby, and a

doctor can be called very quickly if necessary. Prescription medicine for

delegates should be handed over to the leader. If one of your kids is under

medical treatment, make sure s/he will have enough medicine for the whole

stay and even more if s/he loses some or some of it is ruined. Dosage should be written down. If

your child needs glasses and cannot do without them, bring a spare pair and specify all the useful

data on the medical document. Experience taught us that replacing lost or broken glasses takes

about a whole week.

Homestays

Kids will spend two weekends with a Belgian family, from Saturday July 2nd to Sunday July 3rd at

night and from Friday July 15th at night to Sunday July 17th. Delegates will go in pairs, and it would

be nice to prepare a small present, if possible typical of their country, for the host family.

Insurance

In accordance with CISV rules, everyone at camp must have travel insurance and medicalinsurance (that does not cover less than the official CISV Insurance Coverage from AON) for the

duration of the time they are at the village and travelling to and from the village. We request

that all leaders and delegates from EU member states bring their European insurance card or the

telephone number they must call for refunding medical costs.

If it is not possible for you to acquire insurance in your country, write or phone the International

Office. If you show up without insurance, we will inform the International Office; you will be


13/19


insured automatically, and the amount will be debited from the account of your National

association.

Laundry

Once a week, some heroic person from the CISV Belgium family will do laundry for everyone in thevillage. Leaders will have an iron at their disposal.

Money

We suggest that you bring euro or US dollar cash from your home country if you do not think

you will be able to withdraw funds from a bank machine in Belgium. We advise you against

buying travellers cheques, and to avoid bringing large bank notes.

We recommend that kids bring no more than 100 euros per person in pocket money, to spend

on stamps, sweets, souvenirs, t-shirts, etc. We will insist that parents hand over the total amountof money for their child to the leader; the leader can give kids money as needed. This will

prevent problems if money disappears. Leaders will have the opportunity to deposit money in a

safe place, but CISV Belgium and the staff will not be responsible for loss or theft of money

during the village.

Open Day

On Friday July 15th, our village will host an Open Day. Members of the CISV Belgium family and

other guests from the local community will be invited to come. We will develop a programme of

activities highlighting our village theme and what weve been up to so far. Open Day will be

planned by leaders and staff together once the village starts. Note that Open Day is the onlyopportunity for parents and friends to enter the village.

Each delegation will have a small booth where you may exhibit info about yourselves and your

home country. Please bring items that you would like to display. You may want to bring some

food or delicacies that will give everyone a taste ofyour countrys cuisine. You can also bring

some small souvenirs that you may want to give away. Posters of your country are also a good

way for others to see some of your amazing country!

Religious services

Brussels is a diverse city, with especially large populations of Catholic and Protestant Christians,

Muslims, and Jews. If you or your kids want to attend religious services during the village, please let

us know in advance so we can figure out how to accommodate your needs.


14/19


Safety and security

Brussels is one of the safest cities in Europe, with a very low level of crime (especially violent crime).

You can reassure parents that their kids will be very safe here! Still, its important to let your

delegation know that petty theft targeting tourists can happen anywhere, and that when they are at

the train station or airport, or venturing around Belgium during homestays or excursions, they mustremain vigilant and keep an eye on their stuff.

Swimming

We mentioned earlier that the camp site has a pool, which is awesome. We noted earlier that

there are some rules at the pool around swimsuits. It is also important to note that all children

and youth at the village (everyone under the age of 18) must be in possession of a Permission to

Swim and Waiver, duly signed by their parent or guardian. A copy of this form will be forwarded

to you by email. Please enter the necessary data, print it out, have it signed and bring it with

you.

WHOS COMING? OUR DELEGATIONS!

Peacissimo! Village will involve eleven amazing delegations from eleven fascinating countries.
