This is an age in which all countries are inextricably interrelated. The demand of the times is to view the wholeness of the World. To give children the opportunity to grow from around the world and to learn that it is possible to be friends irrespective of color, nationality, religion, language or any other aspect of culture. To give children the opportunity to get personally acquainted by limiting the Village to 40 to 48 children. To give the children time to build deep friendships.
Villages are four weeks long.
