CHAPTER \U2013 I an INSTITUTION UNITED WORLD COLLEGE CHAPTER \u2013 I INTRODUCTION The main purpose of United World College is to unite the world. (through a shared educational experience). The vision was to overcome racial cultural national barriers through a shaved educational experience. The students from different countries all over world come to United World college to learn then the admissions are done on merit basis instead of their vacial, cultural ability to pay conditions. The President of the Council of United World College is Honorable Shri. Nelson Mandela. For the successful functioning of institutions, creation of a proper environment is necessary. As Winston Churchillsaid, \u201cWe shape our buildings afterw ardsthey shape us\u201d. \ue000 AN INSTITUTION :- An institution, by definition is \u201ca society or organization for promotion of scientific educational but it is not enough just to satisfy it\u2019s programmatic needs. Being a place where various disciplines meet, thoughts are exchanged arising from as Louis Kahn Says. C.O.E.& T;Akola Page No.1 UNITED WORLD COLLEGE \u201cAn undesirable desire on the part of all us that a place be for learning; something which comes specially to someone who is willing to convey to others what is special in those who learn in their own special way as though a singularities,because we all singularities none of us is like the other\u201d. \ue000 ROLE OF AN INSTITUTION : An institution being a place of learning develops the student intellectually plays a major role in influencing the student\u2019s way of thinking & perceiving various aspects of the environment & life. People from different walks of like with different backgrounds come together in an institution. These different people have to use common facilities. These facilities stay for years, while a number of group of users come use thebuilt environment & go. Thus, an institution has to cater for a large number of different people, without being too specific or too general. An institution should be conceived of a realm of spaces where it is good to learn. Institution are the primary design elements in creating an environment. United World College is also a such institution which accommodates the students from different countries C.O.E.& T;Akola Page No.2 UNITED WORLD COLLEGE with different languages, different races at one place creating a healthy & unite environment. \ue000 CAMPUS : Learning is an activity that takes place whenever an individual responds knowingly or unknowingly to a stimulus learning doesn\u2019t necessarily mean teachers & pupilsin class rooms. Learning means acquiring new knowledge, skills & wisdom. So learning can take place any where i.e. at work, at play, in the school corridors, courts as well as classrooms. Any institution devoted to learning needs a campus having ample space of interaction. \ue000 GROUP MEMBERSHIP : The campus is the physical environment created when buildings are constructed to allow a single unified community of individuals different experience to live, work, study together & assimilate knowledge to improve skills develop a character. United World College also open the doors for students for graduation in specified universities. The spaces between buildings in a campus if properly designed, provide areas where students congregate informally between classes for discussion & rest. An adequate campus encourages social relationships. Corridors, C.O.E.& T;Akola Page No.3 UNITED WORLD COLLEGE foyers, passages, courtyards or other non academic spaces are excellent for interaction between students or students &facility. These spaces are an integrated part of the educational setting. The campus also has hostel rooms where students can relax & study. The same hostel offers the opportunities forstudents to identify with a small ‘family’ grou pwho share basic living facilities. At mealtime, a considerably larger ‘family’ meets together to eat & mix socially. It is extremely important for campus to have an environment conductive to studying. It should become a place of inspiration & stimulation for the teacher & the students. IDEAL CAMPUS :- For creating an ideal campus following principles have to followed. 1. The necessary classrooms, offices & living spaces ought to be qualities of the existing natural setting as possible. 2.The pedestrian, the student, the professor are t hecommon denominator for scale. 3. Climatic factors have to be considered while designing the campus. C.O.E.& T;Akola Page No.4 UNITED WORLD COLLEGE 4. Selection & use of building materials should be restrained & indigenous. Materials should provide lifetime ofmaintenance free service while lending dignity & beauty to the whole. 5. A successful institutional campus environment is a sensitive blending of the existing site landscape character & the man made structures that are introduced into it. A classic example of an ideal campus is the Nalanda university resembled colonies. The environment subtle & not imposing. The development of this campus as a cluster of monasteries & collective spaces around a Stupa gave it quality,scale & identify not unlike the successful campus of today. The needs & conditions then prevailing were faithfully & honesty expressed the organization of the buildings, hierarchy of spaces, use of materials & structural forms. The environment was ideally suited for intellectual attainment & human development. C.O.E.& T;Akola Page No.5 UNITED WORLD COLLEGE CHAPTER – II CASE STUDIES 1.

  • UWC Dilijan: One Absolutely Happy School
    UWC Dilijan: one absolutely happy school Better to learn and understand other people when they differ from us more difficult than those who belong to the same community with us. But at the same time is much more useful: when we come into contact with representatives of other traditions and cultures, different mentality, understand the common and the differences between us — horizons inevitably expand, the mind becomes more flexible, leave prejudices and the tendency to stereotypical thinking. The result is much more than knowledge about how different countries celebrate the New year. The policy of multiculturalism, growing since the 1970s years in many countries of the world has always been through understanding the diversity of cultures, identities, points of view — to come to an understanding of unity and wholeness. And thereby reduce tension in the society, to reduce the number of conflicts to reach the realization that any two people, no matter how they differed from each other, are part of humanity. And, therefore, their culture can interact, intertwine, to become part of human culture. Of course, education can become a powerful driving force in the process of bringing people and cultures. This thesis represents the mission of the UWC, or the United World Colleges founded in 1962 and is today recognised around the world. UWC to date is 17 schools and colleges on four continents and more than 60 000 graduates. UWC Atlantic College (Wales, UK) Source: uwcmahindracollege.org Netherlands and Swaziland, India and Singapore, Costa Rica, and Norway — in all these countries there are institutions and UWC. In 2014, the first UWC College appeared in the former Soviet Union, in Transcaucasia, midway between the capitals of Armenia and Georgia, in the Armenian city of Dilijan.

UWC Robert Bosch College is a two-year pre-university college and boarding school for students from all around the world. The project was initiated and implemented by the Deutsche Stiftung UWC and Robert Bosch Stiftung on the occasion of Robert Bosch´s 150th birthday. The campus was constructed on the site of a former Carthusian monastery in Freiburg. The school officially opened in September 2014 and our first generation of students graduated successfully in May 2016. All 18 United World Colleges are based on a unique educational concept first developed by co-founder and teacher Kurt Hahn: We welcome students from a deliberately diverse range of backgrounds and experiences – a cross section of socio- economic backgrounds, cultures, races, religions and nationalities. Common to all 18 UWCs in Europe, Asia, Africa and America, students at UWC Robert Bosch College are confronted with central issues of humanity: intercultural understanding, peace and sustainable development. UWC Robert Bosch College places a particular emphasis on environmental issues. A key question that our students explore is how technology can contribute to sustainable, ecological development and peace. Approximately 200 students aged between 16 and 19 from around 90 different nationalities live and study together for two years.

STUDENT SELECTIONS BASED ON TALENT ENSURE DIVERSITY IN ALL ITS FORMS Contrary to many other independent schools, UWC is looking for talented teenagers independent of where and how they are living and what their parents can afford financially. Who is admitted to UWC is solely based on their motivation, aptitude and their involve- ment in social causes. Partial and full scholarships are offered where necessary. Thereby ensuring a socioeconomic and cultural diversity at UWC schools that goes far beyond nationality or religion. EMBRACING THE DIFFERENCES THAT MAKE UP OUR WORLD How do I get along with roommates from different continents in a small space? How do I accept convictions that are not in line with my own religious identity? Peace is more than the absence of war. Living together as a global community can be best learned within a small community.

  • Bridging the Gap: United World College Students' Initiatives in Work with Refugees
    Scottish Journal of Residential Child Care 2016 – Vol.15, No.1 Bridging the gap: United World College students’ initiatives in work with refugees Katja della Liberia, Ramita Ratsathanuwati and Everdina Vermaat Keywords Intercultural communication, United World College, students, unaccompanied asylum-seeking children Corresponding author: Katja della Liberia, first year student at UWC Robert Bosch College ‘How can there be peace without people understanding each other, and how can this be if they don’t know each other?’ Lester B. Pearson, supporter of Pearson College UWC: Nobel Peace Prize lecture, 1957. The refugee crisis is global. Many aspects of our daily lives are touched by this, especially those who work with people every day. Child care assumes a more important role than ever, being the institution where integration happens first for unaccompanied asylum seeking children and young people. We, students of one of 15 United World Colleges (UWCs), encounter the topic on a daily basis – be it through direct experiences of our friends, our work in service projects or discussions we have as a school community. So it appears quite logical for us to give this a bigger role in our daily lives, and learn about new ways to engage with and improve communication between various groups of people. UWC Robert Bosch College is part of a movement founded by educator Kurt Hahn during the Cold War to give young adults from many different countries a space to meet and get to know and understand each other. It gives selected students from various backgrounds the opportunity to study with a scholarship, depending on their financial situation.

  • The Canadians Are Coming to Pearson!
    Submitted Article July 30, 2019 The Canadians are coming to Pearson! If you need words to rouse your spirits out of the summer doldrums, then read on… “I come from a country where the girls and women have very restricted opportunities to study and go to university – in fact, the opportunities are close to zero. As a girl who has been raised with better chances I’m motivated to fight against these traditional and unreasonable restrictions. I’m going to create a chance for girls to get an education.” The young woman who wrote the words above is slated to attend Pearson College UWC this fall and the multilingual, multi-scholarship winner, originally from Afghanistan, is looking forward to expressing her thoughts, culture, traditions and “being able to learn, learn, learn” together with the more than 100 other Year 46 students from around the world arriving on the Metchosin campus in late August. Nina Moroso, UWC National Committee of Canada (UWC-NCC) Executive Administrator, knows the stories of the 57 Canadians chosen to attend either Pearson or one of the 17 other UWC schools this academic year, having interacted with most and having met many of them. The quote above represents one of the most compelling stories. Altogether, about 28 Canadian students – all with their own unique stories to share – are scheduled to attend Pearson in 2019-20. Coming from virtually all provinces and territories, and for non-resident Canadians, from lands as diverse as Malawi, Japan, Switzerland, Hawaii and Belgium, they represent a rich milieu of experiences and motivations.

  • United World Colleges: “The School of Life”
    https://whitmanwire.com/feature/2018/04/05/united-world-colleges-the-school-of-life/#slideshow 1083753 United World Colleges: “The School of Life” Alissa Antilla April 5, 2018 When American students enter their third year of high school, many opt for the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme, an advanced program with an international focus that lasts two years, smattered with creativity, activity and service (CAS) and culminating in a 4000 word extended essay, a mini-thesis of sorts. Internationally, many students enroll in the IB program by means of United World Colleges (UWC), a global education system that makes education “a force to unite people, nations and culture for peace and a sustainable future,” according to the UWC website. With its IB curriculum, UWC schools are scattered across the world — in 17 countries on four continents. UWC’s 17 schools offer an international education to over 9500 16-19 years old each year, according to its website. UWC believes that “education can bring together young people from all backgrounds on the basis of their shared humanity, to engage with the possibility of social change through courageous action, personal example and selfless leadership,” according to their website, and is deliberately diverse. Faye Liu ’20, Yana Miakshyla ’21 and Lola Albarral Bravo ’20 all chose to go to a UWC schools for these very reasons — Liu went to UWC Atlantic College in Wales, United Kingdom; Miakshyla went to UWC Dilijan, Armenia; and Albarral Bravo went to UWC Southeast Asia, Singapore. UWC ATLANTIC COLLEGE Liu said that in her experience, “the mission was just using education as a medium to bring people together, studying together and working together to see a more sustainable and peaceful future.” “I want to get to know different cultures.
