Parent Coffee and Conversation: International Education and Travel Program
for ages 11+
Tuesday, November 29, 8:30-9:30 a.m., Library
This summer two Greenfield students, Jacob Sherman and Matilda Brewe, participated in an international travel and educational program through Children's International Summer Village (CISV). Please attend this informational meeting to learn about their experiences in Japan and Norway and how your child could be a part of CISV's program for children of 11 and older.
CISV
was founded in 1950 to educate and inspire action for a more just and peaceful world by running international educational programs bringing together participants from member countries.
The children take part collectively in a variety of educational cultural activities
in the hopes that they form lasting intercultural friendships that will shape our world. Additional local programming gives children the chance to learn about other cultures in their own communities and explore important themes related to peace and understanding.
Interested parents can bring their children to the meeting, but students must report to their classroom for attendance purposes before reporting to the library. Parents should notify their child's teacher that the student is permitted to attend.
