Voices from the Village

Youth at our international summer camp reflect on their experience at the Global Youth Village. Arielle Korman, 16, from New York City took the Crossing Cultures Through the Arts workshop this summer. Jacob Trump, 16, from Northern Virginia took the Green Your World workshop. They both participated in the Dialogue and Peace Building workshop. In this video, they reflect on what they learned and what they took away from their time at GYV.

GYV Session B ended on Friday morning. Everyone was up bright and early to say good-bye. On Thursday night, we had our last sharing night (video coming soon!) and candlelight ceremony. There were lots of tears and everyone had a chance to reflect on what has been an amazing 11-day experience. We still have 13 youth on campus who have signed up for a special Community Involvement Program which includes a lot of service work and a trip to Washington D.C. later on this week on Wednesday. Here is our reflection video screened at the end of sharing night:

Folktale Night

admin — Thu, 21 Jul 2011 20:02:45 +0000

We have many traditions at Global Youth Village international summer camp. Folktale Night is a long-time tradition and a popular part of our evening programs. Villagers are divided into small groups and are handed costumes and a written folktale. After just an hour, they are asked to act out the folktale for the rest of the Village. There usually a lot of laughter and everyone gets a chance to act a little silly and express their creativity. Folktale night emphasizes cooperation and everyone learns something. Check out this short video of The Story of Colors, a Mexican folktale.

Sharing Night!

Sharing Night is one of the many evening programs we have at Global Youth Village international summer camp. It is a long-time tradition that is part of our evening programs. It usually occurs in the middle or the end of a session and gives participants and staff the opportunity to share their many hidden talents with each other. Everyone has a great time, singing, dancing, acting etc. Check out the latest sharing night video:

Every evening program at the Village offers something different. Tonight is Around the World Night at GYV. All the participants have the opportunity to share various aspects of their culture. Many chose to dance. After the dancing on the stage, participants moved to the tent area where they shared photographs, artifacts, costumes, and instruments from their respective countries. Check out a short clip of the evening program:

Jammin’ with World Beat

Last night at Global Youth Village international summer camp, participants and staff jammed to a World Beat Presentation by Robert Jospe and Kevin Davis. World Beat was an educational presentation to our diverse audience of U.S. and international participants during our evening program. Kevin and Robert took the group on a musical journey, exploring diaspora of African rhythms in the Americas. Our trip started in West & Central Africa and went on to Cuba, Trinidad, and the Dominican Republic. After that trip was over, our Iraqi participants took us to Iraq. Since nobody was tired yet, the staff decided they wanted to go to Trinidad. Here is a short video of our trip:

A trip to GYV International Summer Camp

admin — Mon, 22 Nov 2010 17:29:03 +0000

In 2011, we welcomed Indonesian, Iraqi, Nigerian and American youth, as well as staff from from all over the world. Youth participated in dynamic and timely peacebuilding, environmental and leadership workshops, enjoyed action packed badminton, volleyball, ping pong and soccer games, cooled off in the pool, played music, sang songs and danced with their peers from around the world; they gained new perspectives on what it means to be a global citizen and a social innovator. Over the past 33 years, the Global Youth Village has become a recognized international summer camp that regularly partners with the US Department of State to provide meaningful intercultural experiences for young people.

Please enjoy our new video that will take you on a journey to the Global Youth Village. Enjoy the ride!
