What are we doing for next year?

Earlier today at the annual international meeting of CISV the plan of action for the International Mosaic Committee. It was approved by the board of trustees without any changes. 

In short next year will be about:
- We will during the year take the first important steps to reach hosting stability with a growth of five projects a year for the coming years. The goal is to have 50 approved Mosaic projects by 2012
- We will take the first steps to make the committee financially independent at the international level
- We will put extra efforts into evaluations, both at a project and programme level
- Implement the revised Mosaic programme goals in the programmes guide and training curriculum
- Train Mosaic Coordinators and trainers in Asia Pacific and Europe
- Develop a best practise for giving support to project coordinators and hosting chapters


But also concerned with the profile of CISV and Mosaic in the communities we will:
- Develop the concept of our magazine, and continue working together with IPP, so that the magazine even more fits an external audience, still reflecting the out put of Mosaic in our communities and creating a feeling among CISVers of beloning to a bigger movement
- Make sure all project coordinators recieve a certificate, identifying the competence needed and experience gained through the projects


Budget spending on this estimated to approx 14, 334 GBP

We are convinced that peace education is most efficient when the peer group, the family and the values of the community is a integral part of the process. Worldwide we now have more and more volunteers ready to do this and go about Mosaic. Without them and their capacity and creativity there would be no Mosaic. We are thankful for the growing support we get from the International Office. This is of course key inorder for us to keep developing the programme. The team is still very dedicated and the results we see in our chapters and communities all over the world keeps our motivation high.
