EWB-UK seeks to educate students about development work, in order to build capacity in the development sector, and to change the attitudes of coming generations.

EWB-UK talks, trips and training courses are designed to raise awareness of development issues and to impart practical development skills. Courses are offered in a number of areas including shelter, water and sanitation, alternative energy and communications.

Events are held all year-round across the UK. Training is led and facilitated by students and experienced development practitioners.

So far, EWB-UK has run over 40 training courses reaching more than 900 students and young professionals. EWB-UK also succesfully obtained funding from DFID, part of which will go towards expanding the Training Programme over the next few years. This will allow us to plan a greater variety of courses, both in terms of breadth and depth.

Additionally, our Cardiff branch, in partnership with RedR, obtained Welsh Assembly Government funding to develop their training programme under the Wales for Africa scheme.

We welcome applications from both students and professionals for all courses. See right hand menu for more details.
