The Galway One World Centre is an education centre working towards raising awareness and changing attitudes of people in Ireland regarding global development and justice issues.

History
The GOWC was set up in 1992 as a result of a feasibility study carried out by students of a community development course at NUI Galway. The study looked at existing development education centres, potential NGO support for the setting up of a centre in Galway as well as interest amongst people involved in development education.
