“On reflection, I would say that I am more analytical and have expanded my critical view of the world. I am quite a different person a year on. I don’t take things for granted, particularly in terms of the lifestyle we enjoy.”
“The striking thing about the United World Colleges is that they embrace the entire world across all divides of race, history, culture, wealth, religion, economic status and political belief: they are unique and they are conscious of their responsibilities.”
Nelson Mandela, Honorary President of the United World Colleges (UWC)
UWC is a unique movement making education a force to unite people, nations and cultures for peace and a sustainable future. The thirteen colleges bring together students from around the world, providing them with an experience to equip them socially, academically, philosophically and morally for their journey through life.
The United World Colleges National Committee of Great Britain works to increase awareness of the United World Colleges mission, select students to represent Great Britain at United World Colleges, and enable their continued involvement in the United World College movement. We believe that education is one of the strongest tools we have to make this a more sustainable and peaceful world.
