The UWC Mission

“UWC makes education a force to unite people, nations and cultures for peace and a sustainable future.” 

Our UWC Values

Driven by our mission and these nine values, our movement inspires and empowers young people while transcending the diversities of socio-economic background, culture, race, religion, nationality, and beyond.

• International and intercultural understanding
• Celebration of difference
• Personal responsibility and integrity
• Mutual responsibility and respect
• Compassion and service
• Respect for the environment
• A sense of idealism
• Personal challenge
• Action and personal example

As alumni go forward to their next endeavours, they take with them a lifelong commitment to these values and a shared will to make a positive difference in the world, never truly leaving the UWC movement behind.
