The article describes CISV: a charitable, international, non-political, volunteer organization promoting peace education and cross-cultural friendship. It also provides some observations connected with intercultural and transcultural experiental learning applied in its programmes offering experiences unique in both scope and age range. The first part of the paper concentrates on the beginnings of the organization founded by dr Doris Twitchell Allen and its development for over 60 years, also in Poland. The second part provides some information with regard to the statement of CISV’s educational purpose and outlines the programmes offered by the organization. The third part focuses on experiental education model (the opportunity to learn from direct experience) and multi-dimensions of intercultural competence considered in critical discourses of, for example, K.Lewin, D.A. Kolb, D.T. Allen, A.E. Fantini, or T. S. Kuhn. The aim of the considerations in this paper is to stress that „learning with a difference,” building awareness involving reflection and friendship make the educational experience permanent. We, as teachers, should learn from those who succeed in making educational practice adventurous as well as exciting and over 60 years of CISV’s work is a good model for us to follow.

One of the problems of the modern family are weak personal bonds between the spouses as well as between the parents and children. In Europe, and also in Poland, there are fewer and fewer multigenerational families; two-generational or even one-generational ones dominate. Moreover, taking into consideration the fact of low fertility in families the process of pro-social and volontaristic formation in the family appears as a challenge to the contemporary family. Success of the process of pro-social and volontaristic formation in the family depends on several factors, like: the full composition of the family, the family atmosphere, the number of children in the family, the mother’s career, the financial situation of the family and the family's religiousness. However, the most important condition for attaining success of the process is discovering, especially by the parents, God's plan, according to which the family is the least social unit and an irreplaceable community of love. Only a family trying to realize such a model of family life is able to bring up the kind of beautiful man who not only can „be with others”, but also „be for others”.
