UWCEM Advisory Committee
Around the world, UWC’s 18 schools and colleges educate over 11,000 students each year.
UWC is a global education movement of 18 schools across four continents, dedicated to creating and educating changemakers. For over 60 years, our students have emerged as leaders and agents of positive change, contributing to a more peaceful and sustainable world.
Each UWC school and college has its own distinct character, shaped by its host country, specific setting, cultural context and community. What unifies them as part of the UWC movement is their deliberately diverse student body and commitment to the UWC mission of making education a force to unite people, nations and cultures for peace and a sustainable future.
