UWC Tunisia is a volunteer-led group dedicated to selecting and supporting students and their families for the UWC movement. Our members are passionate about education and international understanding, working together to create opportunities for young changemakers.
Our UWC National Committee is made up of individuals who share UWC’s mission and values. These include:
- UWC alums and their families – Former students who have attended UWC schools or short courses and their families, bringing firsthand experience of the UWC journey.
- Education professionals – Teachers, school administrators, and educators who are committed to nurturing young minds and promoting transformative education.
- Community leaders – Individuals from various sectors who support youth development and global citizenship.
- Other volunteers – Supporters of UWC who contribute their time and expertise to help select and guide students.
Our history and impact
- The Tunisian National Committee was formed in 2016.
- Over the past 9 years, students have been nominated to, and have begun attending UWC colleges around the world. Students have been accepted with full scholarships to UWC Dilijan Armenia, UWC Pearson College Canada, UWC Adriatic Italy, UWC Robert Bosch Germany, UWC Costa Rica, UWC ISAK Japan, and UWC Changshu China.
- In 2019, the first cohort of Tunisian students nominated by the Committee graduated from UWC: one student graduated from UWC Mahindra College in India, and another student graduated from UWC-USA.
- Students have also been nominated to attend UWC Short Courses in Belgium, Austria, Turkey, Malta, and Lebanon. Some students have attended with partial to full fee waivers, while others have paid the full costs of travel and to attend the course (usually 1-3 weeks long).
Our commitment
- As part of the global UWC National Committee network, we adhere to UWC’s principles and selection standards.
- Our volunteers include many UWC alumni who understand the experience firsthand and are dedicated to guiding new students.
