GCSW provides young people with the tools and abilities to create positive changes within their own lives and lives of local and international communities.
For the past 5 years, the project has been working with young people in Cornwall,Bristol, Wales, India, Ethiopia and Brazil (see links pages). The organisation maintains close links with community projects in these locations, and a major aim of the project is to continue to build relations between young people from across the globe.
Workshops empower young people with the practical skills needed to create positive change, including campaign and lobbying skills, actions for ecological living and gardening skills.
