Association

United World Colleges was founded in the sixties. This educational movement promotes dialogue and peace.  It helps prepare young people to face the challenges of today’s world and build tomorrow’s world on the basis of just, equitable and ethical values.  UWC currently comprises 13 secondary education establishments and 130 national committees on the 5 continents.

UWC France, an association created in 1999 to promote the UWC movement in France, organises the “Youth Leadership Camp” project.
In July 2010, the Accor Foundation supported the 3rd edition of UWC France’s Summer Camp in collaboration with Participe Future, an association for marine conservation.  Young people, mostly scholarship students, from 20 different countries sailed around the Mediterranean for 13 days on the association’s sailing boats.

The camp provides the opportunities for these young people to take part in a host of activities (workshops-debates, marine conservation projects, social services and citizenship schemes, sports activities…) that foster awareness of their responsibility as world citizens and encourage intercultural experiences.
