When should applications to UWC take place?
UWC short courses are an opportunity for UWC schools and colleges, alumni, national committees and external partners to spread the UWC mission and values to a wider demographic.
If you have an idea for a theme, a venue, a team of skilled facilitators or even just the motivation to create a UWC short course – then you have taken the first step on the UWC short course organiser journey.
The journey depicts the stages which all short course organisers go through while organising their short courses. Together with the UWC Short Course Development Initiative team, you will work your way through the required endorsement process which will help you design, plan, implement and evaluate a quality programme in line with the UWC mission and values.
The Short Course Development Initiative (SCDI) was launched in September 2019 as a collaboration between UWC International and the UWC Spain National Committee to help support and grow the positive impact of UWC short courses around the world. The SCDI offers a myriad of educational materials, training programmes, opportunities to connect with other organisers through a mentorship programme and UWC short course conferences.
If you want to organise your own UWC short course get in touch at shortcourses@uwcio.uwc.org.
