Anniversary Service Civil International 1920 - 2010

SCI Logo 1931


In 2010 SCI celebrates its 90th anniversary. In 1920 the first workcamp was organised in the war damaged village Esnes near Verdun.

A campaign with the working title "Provoking Peace" is in preparation, which will focus on the beginning of SCI and its founder Pierre Ceresole. At the moment several projects are planned and or sketched.

  1. Exhibition: In cooperation with the Bibliothèque de la ville La Chaux-de-Fonds and exhibition following the biography of Ceresole is planned.
  2. Peace march, which follows the path of the controversial journeys of Pierre Ceresole to Germany. This journey are well documented and offer interesting topics for discussions on SCI and peace.
  3. Photo competition: three historical workcamp photos are given, which shall be imitated in nowadays workcamp.
  4. Publication of SCI veteran memories on the website of SCI Archives.
  5. Volunteer projects in the frame for SCI 90 years anniversary

We are also  interested to cooperate with other initiatives for the anniversary. Support can be provided e.g. with material from SCI archives.
