Rodolfo is a Costa Rican CISVer who is currently the vice-president of CISV Sweden. His master thesis on CISVs educational approach was just recently turned into a book called Mosquito Tactics, published in Swedish and English."If you think you are too small to have an impact, try going to bed with a mosquito in the room."
I can't wait to get my hands on a copy. More on the book can be found on this wonderful website including some sample pages.
More on the content and purpose and how it all fits together with CISV's educational content can be found on CISV Swedens website.
PS. For a long time I've been trying to find a new name for CISV: The acronym is boring, hard to pronounce, and doesn't even stand for what we do. 6 years ago I suggested Mosaic as a new name to a few friends - later Local Work adopted that one. How about "Mosquitos International" as the new name for CISV?
You had suggested Mosaic for a new name for CISV?
I didn't know that!
Elaborate on the story?
You can ask Dan and Hannah - when we were travelling in Costa Rica and Nicaragua in 2003 I kept annoying them with my idea to rename CISV.
i must say i am flattered that you call the mosquito blog a "wonderful website" and i really hope people feel involved and as challenged by the book. i seriously believe mosquito tactics can help our organisation develop and callenge itself in many ways - just like this blog does (of which i am a big fan by the way!). i'll do my best to get a copy of the book sent your way!
Can anyone help me locate a copy of this inspirational book? I would like to introduce the concepts to Americam High schoolers!
