Village Project Charity Profile
The Village Project Inc. is a US based non-profit, non-governmental organization that designs curriculum, works with primary school aged children in after-school and summer camp programs and teaches teachers to work with students on projects that involve the participants in democratic self-government and in building communities. Our work is inspired by the Village experiments of Cornelia Iselin
The Village Project believes that in the modern world, all children need to learn how to build societies. In traditional societies, community and the role of the individual within it are defined, but in a culture of constant change, both human and technological, these definitions no longer work. In a world of change, children need to learn not any one answer but ways of finding new answers and redefining society. Every child needs to learn how to create communities and how to find his or her place within it. The Village Project aims to empower primary school children as individuals, to give them a better understanding of community, and to help them learn how to build a world they wish to live in.
