Servicio Civil Internacional

Servicio Civil Internacional (SCI) promotes peace and international understanding, mainly using international workcamps as a tool to reach its aims. SCI uses international workcamps as a fundamental instrument, because it considers that by living together with other cultures and communities people can become aware of conditions and realities existing in the world.
SCI acts in a non-violent way as a catalyst for change within individuals and society,-takes appropriate non-violent international action in situations of tension, war and injustice, supports action which promotes international solidarity, justice, mutual understanding, participation in policy-making at all levels, and respect for individuals as stated in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, promotes and organises voluntary service activities in co-operation with local communities as well as other local, national and international organisations, as a means of fostering greater confidence between people of different social, cultural, political or religious backgrounds by working, learning and living together.
