UWC National Committees

The UWC Educational Group is represented by National Volunteer Committees in more than 140 countries, including Côte d'Ivoire. This unique system allows students to be selected within their community and their own socio-cultural environment, taking into account local specificities and favoring diversity.
National Committees, when they exist, are the only ones entitled to represent UWC in the country concerned.
