Action x Change

The UWC Spanish Committee Foundation

Action x Change is a 15 day summer programme organised by the UWC Spanish Committee Foundation (UWC España) to extend the reach of UWC values to more young people in Spain and abroad.

Under the theme of social entrepreneurship, 35 young people aged 14-17  will develop their own social projects while acquiring soft skills and tools, such as conflict resolution, budgeting, public speaking, project design, team building  that will help them with the implementation of their projects.

The team of international coordinators and facilitators is formed of UWC alumni who are themselves social entrepreneurs and/or have experience in running summer camps and outdoor activities.

Senior and junior social entrepreneurs, as well as other guest speakers will visit the programme.

The programme will take place in Naturalcalá, a centre of environmental education near Madrid.
