Royal Commonwealth Society (RCS)

The Royal Commonwealth Society (RCS) is an international organization dedicated to promoting understanding, democracy, development, and mutual respect among the nations of the Commonwealth—a group of 56 member countries mostly former British colonies. It works through educational programs, dialogue, and initiatives to strengthen connections, support sustainable growth, and encourage cooperation. Established in 1911 and granted its royal charter in 1958, the RCS serves as a platform for leaders, communities, and individuals to collaborate on shared goals, fostering friendship and understanding across diverse cultures within the Commonwealth.
