Mission, aims and beliefs

The mission of the Welsh Centre for International Affairs is:

To enable the people of Wales to understand and act on global issues. 

The WCIA pursues its mission by way of the following organisational aims:

1. To raise awareness of global issues among the people of Wales.
2. To help people, especially young people, develop the skills they need to understand and confront these issues.
3. To act as a forum for individuals and organisations in Wales to exchange ideas, build partnerships, and work towards common goals in line with the WCIA's values.
   

The WCIA believes:

• that everyone has a contribution to make through active global citizenship
• in the principles of human rights, international law, peace, tolerance and international cooperation promoted by the United Nations
• in the power of education, positive engagement and dialogue between individuals and organisations as means to work towards those principles
• that sustainability is a vital part of all efforts to ensure a safer and more secure world for future generations
• in the importance of fair treatment of individuals, transparency and accountability in all its affairs
  

CEWC-Cymru and UNA Wales have their own statements of aims which fit within these overall organisational goals.
