(Redirected from CEWC)

The Council for Education in World Citizenship (CEWC) was an educational charity in England.[1] It was founded in 1939, by the education committee of the League of Nations Union (LNU),[2][3] and continued to work with the LNU's successor, the UK United Nations Association (UNA).[4]

The CEWC operated "regional councils", which later became independent entities, in Northern Ireland (as CEWC Northern Ireland) and in Wales (as CEWC Cymru). CEWC Cymru, which had operated independent of the English organisation since at least the 1940s,[5] merged with the Welsh Centre for International Affairs in 2014 and ceased to be a separate charity.[6] While CEWC Northern Ireland obtained separate charitable status in 2001,[7] and was in receipt of some funding from Irish Aid in 2008,[8] its website was defunct by 2011.[9]

The English charity, the Council for Education in World Citizenship, "went into suspension" in April 2001.[10] As of 2024, it was recorded as a "removed charity" by the Charity Commission for England and Wales.[11]
