CCIVS has always played an important role in supporting the work of its member organisations on Health-related issues. Targeted trainings and seminars have contributed to the development of cultural competencies and to the implementation of health promotion activities in different cultural settings and socio-economic environments. Empowering youth and volunteers to positively influence perceptions and behaviours of their peers, local communities and organisations, CCIVS activities in the field of Health promote a participative dialogue on public health issues, in particular through the use of non-formal education methodology. Flagship projects in Africa and Asia have used performing arts - and Forum Theatre in particular - to create innovative cooperation between volunteers, communities and local and national authorities.
