  • 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.

When I started my business career, I took my own history lesson from Princeton: I learned how leaders make a difference, in their countries, in their centuries. So I invested in leaders, and that investment helped me to be successful. …I’m looking to invest again in leaders of the future.” SHELBY M.C.

  • 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.
