From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Council for Education in World Citizenship (CEWC) was an educational charity founded in England in 1939.[1] The charity operated "regional councils", which later became independent entities, in Northern Ireland (as CEWC Northern Ireland) and in Wales (as CEWC Cymru). The English charity "went into suspension" in April 2001.[2] CEWC Cymru merged with the Welsh Centre for International Affairs in 2014 and ceased to be a separate charity.[3] While CEWC Northern Ireland obtained separate charitable status in 2001,[4] and was in receipt of some funding from Irish Aid in 2008,[5] its website was defunct by 2011.[6]
