Have you ever claimed that UWC changed your life? Now is the time: by dedicating about 30-40 minutes to taking an online survey!
The study, being conducted over four years, seeks to determine whether (and if so, how) UWC school and college graduates become forces for a more peaceful and sustainable future. The study’s findings will enable the UWC movement to improve its educational programme with a view to strengthening the UWC mission, and are expected to be of interest to the wider educational field as well.
The study consists of two strands. The first is a longitudinal study of two cohorts of students (beginning in 2018 and 2019 [2019 and 2020 for Waterford Kamhlaba UWC of Southern Africa]), from their entry into the first year of the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme through their UWC graduation.
The second strand concerns UWC school and college alums (who studied the IB Diploma Programme or their A-Levels at UWC), who are being asked to contribute to the study by participating in an online survey and/or interview in order to help the researchers understand how a UWC education impacts UWC graduates’ lives, and whether it affects the impact UWC alums are having on society or their communities.
If you are a UWC school or college alum, take part today! By dedicating about 30-40 minutes to the survey, you will play an invaluable part in the most important study ever to be conducted about our UWC movement. You will be part of the answer to the question: does UWC really make education a force to unite people, nations and cultures for peace and a sustainable future?
Make your voice heard. Be part of a truly global, inclusive, cross-generational reflection on the impact of a UWC education. Take the survey today. We are counting on you to help us improve UWC – every voice matters!
