ogether for Development is the UWC Short Course in Eswatini (formerly Swaziland). In a world where extreme poverty, shocking inequality and unfair exclusion persist, the need for change is more pressing than ever.

 

Now in its fifth edition, this year’s course will bring together 30-50 young people from around the world to critically engage with the concept of development and deeply understand the issues involved. Above all, we will empower them to become effective, empathetic change makers.

 

The course covers topics ranging from development theory to arts, creativity, environmental sustainability, gender and activism, while also offering an in-depth introduction to Eswatini. Local NGO visits and community stays are a key part of the curriculum.

 

Together for Development is facilitated by a diverse and professional team from around the world, most of whom are alumni of UWC schools or short courses themselves. In addition to academic expertise, they also have on-the-ground experience working in development.
