Global Leadership Experience (GLE), UWC Atlantic

The Global Leadership Experience invites young people from across the world to develop the mindsets, skills and courage needed to create positive change locally, nationally and globally. Built on more than sixty years of UWC education and hosted at St Donat's Castle, the course is an immersive residential programme combining experiential workshops, outdoor learning, real-world case studies and deeply reflective sessions. It is an accredited UWC short course, and participants leave with new skills, international friendships and a clearer sense of their own place in the world.

The course fee covers all boarding, catering, activity fees and GuardMe insurance where applicable, and includes an optional transfer to and from Heathrow Airport. Flights and assistance inside the airport are not covered. Scholarship support is available upon request.

Participants board on the UWC Atlantic campus at St Donat's Castle for the whole course; boarding is part of the fee and the college team provides pastoral care.

Catering is included in the course fee and served on campus for the duration of the course.

Leadership workshops alternate with outdoor learning on and around the coastal campus, with excursions and group challenges alongside the academic sessions.

The course is based on the campus of UWC Atlantic, a United World College in the twelfth-century St Donat's Castle on the Glamorgan coast of South Wales. Boarding and catering are part of the course fee, and the campus is the base for outdoor sessions nearby.

Two weeks of shared living and learning on a United World College campus with participants from many countries; the college describes the course as a tangible stepping stone towards deeper UWC engagement.
