Servas Peace Schools blossom across four continents

Have you ever dreamed of immersing yourself in diverse cultures, sharing knowledge, and making meaningful connections across the globe? If so, let us introduce you to the captivating world of Servas Peace Schools.

16 years ago in the village of Ekinci, Turkey, a visionary idea took root. Today, Servas Peace Schools stand as beacons of joy, learning, and friendship, inviting Servas members from every corner of the world to embark on a journey of human connection.

Shared experiences enrich lives

At Servas Peace Schools, volunteers become both teachers and learners, engaging with children and families from diverse backgrounds. Through shared experiences, language barriers fade away, replaced by companionship and understanding.

You can share your knowledge (languages, history, culture, funny facts, for example), games, songs, theatre, and other skills, with the children in the school. Even if you don't speak the local language, there will always be someone to help you. Servas Peace School is an opportunity to enrich lives and foster cross-cultural understanding – for you and the children.
