The Welsh Centre for International Affairs and the organisations for whom it acted as an ‘umbrella’ body – UNA Wales, CEWC (the Council for Education in World Citizenship), UNA Exchange / International Youth Service, UNICEF, the Freedom from Hunger Campaign, and others – have a rich heritage of facilitating Wales-wide action on global issues through ordinary people insiring extraordinary action. Their stories are as rich as the Temple Archives themselves – and perhaps much more entertaining to hear through!
