Free school visits and workshops on global topics
Each member school/college is entitled to one free visit of up to 90 minutes for each year of Affiliate Membership. Extra hours and subsequent visits are charged at £25 per 30 minutes or part thereof (non-members: free visits not available).
Free taster sessions on critical thinking, democratic participation and other CEWC-Cymru project work
As an alternative to a topical workshop, we can offer a free session using Philosophy for Children or other methods developed during CEWC-Cymru projects. Please note that a fee is payable if more than one teacher is involved in observing the session (see below).
Reduced rates for in-service training sessions
Members receive training for £85 per hour (non-members: £100) or £420 per day (non-members: £500). Classroom demonstrations observed by colleagues are charged at £55 per hour (non-members: £70) or £260 per day (non-members: £325)
Reduced rates for participation in our conferences and events
For example, taking 9 students to a Model United Nations conference will cost £30 (non-members: £50); participating in our Debate Training Days costs £10 per student (non-members: £15).
Reduced prices for CEWC-Cymru publications
For example, our Thinking Citizens pack costs £6 for members (non-members: £8).
Free access to advice, information and resources on global citizenship
Where possible, we will provide informal advice and information on relevant areas of education. (This does not, however, include talks at staff meetings, which are counted as in-service training.) We also have a large library of resources relating to various global topics, including human rights, conflict, environmental issues and ethnic/religious diversity. We are happy to lend these free of charge to members (or, in the case of some older resources, give them away).
Newsletters and priority mailings about CEWC-Cymru events, competitions and other activities
Because we have a specific teacher contact name, we will make sure that CEWC-Cymru mailings always get to the right person on time.
Example of Affiliate Membership in practice:
You ask us to provide a 90-minute long workshop at your school, and take part in a Model UN conference later in the year. You pay a total of £25, whereas a non-member would pay £115. Even if you are paying the top membership rate (£60), you still save money as well as receiving all the other benefits of affiliation.
