Mid-Western Educational Researcher, v8 n4 p28-31 Fall 1995
Traces the early history of Children's International Summer Villages, developed by Doris Allen in the late 1940s to promote peace and global understanding by exposing mixed groups of 11-year olds from different countries to a month-long experience in international living. The first camp, held near Cincinnati in 1951, included a social science research component. (SV)
