Welsh Centre for International Affairs Details
The vision of the Welsh Centre for International Affairs (WCIA) is that everyone in Wales contributes to creating a fairer, more peaceful world. To achieve this, our mission is to inspire learning and action on global issues.The WCIA was founded in 1973 and works across Wales. Our work falls into three key areas:(1) Global learning. The foundation of our work – we inspire people to care about global issues through providing seminal experiences and local role models, then build the self-belief, confidence and skills they need to act on those issues. We focus particularly on younger people, with the aim of fostering a generation in Wales empowered to make a difference. (2) Globally responsible communities. Working in partnership within communities and institutions, we support people to come together to act locally, within their community or workplace, on the global issues that matter most to them.(3) Grassroots international development. We develop the capacity of organisations and individuals in Wales who do international development work – primarily in Africa but with ambitions to expand – to work effectively towards the Sustainable Development Goals in Wales and the world.
