CEWC (Council for Education in World Citizenship) Northern Ireland (or CEWC NI for short) is an educational charity based in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Originating as a Regional Council of CEWC, it achieved separate charitable status in 1991. The original organization was founded in 1939.[1]
Through its programme of Active Global Citizenship Projects, CEWC NI enables young people from post-primary schools and youth groups to understand and confront global issues and challenges. It supports international understanding and citizenship as a means of promoting diversity.[2] The Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the Convention on the Rights of the Child underpin its work.
