What does SWAT mean in UNIVERSITIES

The purpose of SWAT is to foster appreciation of writing skills and provide an opportunity for students to learn from their peers and educators.

Any student interested in learning how to write can take part in the SWAT program. Educators may also be involved, depending on the nature of the activity or project.

Any student can become a member by contacting their school's administration or their teacher. Each school's protocol will vary, but typically involves registering with an administrator or mentor and attending activities related to writing and literature throughout the year.

Activities vary depending on the age group and curriculum but may include things such as story-writing, poetry-writing, researching literary works, critiquing books, reading aloud during class discussions, editing each other's work, holding seminars with other schools, etc.

Yes! Many schools have organized their own version of SWAt within their district or even internationally with programs like “SWAT World” which allows communication with participating schools across different countries—allowing students to see how culture plays into written works.
