History of UWC
Their solution, or at least contribution, was to wage a war for Peace by bringing together young people at a formative period in their lives from different nations, races, cultures, religions, political systems and social classes and to educate them in an environment of understanding and mutual respect. A central part to this was to open their eyes to the personal power they had to be active in service to others.
As the years have passed, others around the world – attracted to this simple idea that education can be a force for peace and a sustainable future – have lent their support to allow for expansion and growth. To date 18 schools and colleges have been founded around the world.
