Proposal #58: Success Story Conference.

I propose that CISV hosts an international conference, where we teach the secrets of CISV's success.

Rationale

If we look at our organisation from a different perspective it is a great success story. I'm more than sure there will be other people (from other NGOs) interested to learn how we do things. Workshops during the conference would include topics like:
  • How to keep an international volunteer work force happy?
  • How to fundraise for international work camps?
  • How to become a member of UNESCO?
  • How to administer 8000 participants a year with one tiny office?
  • How to rebrand a volunteer organisation?
  • How to organize an annual conference?
  • How to keep up to date with educational content?
  • How to establish a high-quality new international programme within 10 years?
  • How to develop an alumni database?

Respectfully submitted, Nick (GER)
