elcome to the UWC Adriatic 2011-2012 Annual Report. It provides a recap of the highlights W of the past year and celebrates the invaluable support we have received from our alumni and friends. Their generous demonstration of faith in the mission and values of the college are examples of the commitment that will be increasingly essential for the college to maintain its role of promoting international and environmental understanding to future generations of scholarship students. During the last year, we received more alumni support than ever before, even though difficult economic times are continuing to prevail in many parts of the world. For many of our alumni their experience at UWC Adriatic was a genuinely transformational time. That they remember the college whilst celebrating a personal life-changing event some years afterwards is particularly gratifying. We especially thank the generosity of action and spirit of Karen and Johannes (p20), Lucilla and Espen (p21), and Amanda and Christopher (p21). We send you our best wishes for your future happiness. The thirty years of the United World College of the Adriatic are celebrated in a historical epoch that is delicate, difficult. There have been We are also grateful to all the foundations and public institutions which supported the College this year.

Oggi, in un momento di profonda crisi economica e di ripiegamento, Yours faithfully vediamo riemergere vecchi fantasmi, quelli delle chiusure nazionali, degli egoismi etnici e territoriali. Per questo abbiamo bisogno più che mai, oggi, della presenza illuminata del Collegio di Duino, del suo modello educativo, dei suoi giovani futura classe dirigente disseminata nei Paesi di tutto il mondo.

Galen Weston always generously willing to lend a hand, even to those he hardly knew. He quickly established himself as the “techy” for the students’ cultural and celebratory shows throughout the year.

Following the devastating news, a gathering of remembrance in the College was held in his honour. We would like to renew our deepest sympathies to his family; Zaid will continue to be deeply missed by all who knew him.
The Annual Fund Challenge Committee: To commemorate Zaid, our students decided to establish a football competition in his memory. The Annual Fund Challenge Committee is a group of leaders who, together, challenged other UWC Adriatic alumni to increase their annual gifts to support College operations and strengthen the school to fulfill its mission for generations to come. For the 2011-12 Annual Fund Campaign, the pioneer Annual Fund Challenge Committee members were: “I am almost crying as I write this. In fact today is the most I have cried since my grandpa died; I don’t think any of the friends I am currently with even know how much I have cried. Not through fault of their own, but because I am so bad Giuliano Giovannetti (Italy, UWC Adriatic 1984-86) expressing my feelings. I do not know how to gain the confidence to adequately do so. So I suppose that’s why I want to write this tribute, memorial, eulogy, to show my pain at losing such a special person [...] Zaid was my roommate for Pål Ristvedt (Norway, UWC Adriatic 1986-88) a whole academic year. Living up to twenty four hours a day, seven days a week, sleeping, working, messing around in the same proximity, you get to know someone pretty well. You get to see the worst, and most importantly the best, of Patrick Corso (Italy, UWC Adriatic 1989-91) anyone. Zaid was one of the most stubborn people I knew [...] Before his shocking death, we were at times planning my visit to his house in Erbil, Iraqi Kurdistan, and I was constantly overwhelmed, in the most positive of ways, by all the Marco Silvestri (Italy, UWC Adriatic 1996-98) things he wanted to show me. These included an eight-day tour of the region, about which he would not hear of me wanting to pay for, even contribute towards. That can only be testimony to a wonderful family, and an immense heart of his. Rest in peace, Zaid.” Robin Tyne (United Kingdom, UWC Adriatic 2010-12) Fundraising College Service Team
The “Zaid Khasro Memorial Annual Trophy”: o further honour the memory of Zaid, on Sunday the 25 March 2012 our students organised a memorial football competition in his name. Remembered fondly as an enthusiastic football player, Zaid would never miss an opportunity to joinT a match; what better way then to remember him. Over 45 students and teachers gathered at a local football ground to play the game Zaid loved, consisting of eight participating teams of five players with at least one girl. Each intense 20-minute match was played with excitement, enthusiasm and with great display of ball skills and sportsmanship. In the end, the competition was a close one, the final match being played between the Blue Team and Team Price; a thrilling final saw the Blue Team take home the “Zaid Khasro Annual Trophy” for the first competition of what promises to be a yearly tradition for the College in lasting memory of Zaid. The participation of the teams, the audience’s support and, of course, the effort of those who made the event possible were greatly appreciated.
The Fundraising College Service Team 2011-2012
During the 2011-2012 academic year, our Development and Communications Office for the 2nd year had a group of current students to help with the Annual Fund campaign. Their activities were focused on phoning alumni and exchanging views on their respective experiences, inviting them to join the Annual Reunion, illustrating current projects and activities taking place at the College, and also speaking about how they can help the college financially by contributing towards the Annual Fund. A new team will continue their excellent work in 2012-2013.

This Opening Ceremony was of particular importance as it was the last one with Prof. Peter Howe as Rettore of UWC Adriatic. The Ceremony befittingly began with a performance by the students in their national costumes; the traditional “flag parade” displaying the 87 countries which these 187 students would represent over the coming year at the College. Peter Howe’s last address to the audience as the UWC Adriatic Rettore was to be the climax of the ceremony: as a sign of gratitude for his dedication and passion for the College, as both teacher and Rettore, Peter Howe received gifts from the Friuli Venezia Giulia Regional Minister of Education, Dr. Roberto Molinaro, and the President of UWC Adriatic, Amb. Gianfranco Facco Bonetti. The Ceremony closed as Peter and his wife Sally were presented with two mountain bikes as a leaving gift from the entire UWC Adriatic Community. Peter has since moved to the Netherlands, where he is now Headmaster of UWC Maastricht. The College wishes Peter and his family all the best, and is very grateful for everything he has done during his time here in Duino.
“Without a doubt, working at UWC Adriatic has been one of the highlights of my life. [...] A special thanks to my good friends and mentors Amb. Gianfranco Facco Bonetti for his unwavering belief in me from day one of working together and Ragioniere Giorgio Pontoni whose wise counsel on life and work I will always cherish. To my colleagues – staff and teachers alike – I’m afraid I don’t really have the words to capture my debt to you all. Your support, generosity and willingness to do what needs to be done are exceptional and will never be forgotten. We have been through a lot together. And finally a special thank you to you dear students. Your energy, enthusiasm and idealism are the life-blood of this place. Particularly when they are tempered with a dash of humility, a positive regard for others (even when you don’t always see eye to eye) and the knowledge that your journey of self-discovery and learning will never be complete (and reminding the adults of the community by your example that the same is true for us as well). This is a very special place and it has been my and my family’s great privilege to have lived and worked here. I hope you will all feel the same way too when it is your time to leave. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.” Prof. Peter T. Howe - exctract from his last speech as Rettore of UWC Adriatic

A College Assembly took the place of usual morning classes followed by an INA Conference held by Elizabeth Rehn, the former Minister of Defence and Equity Affairs in the Finnish Government (1990 – 1995). Subsequently, students, teachers and staff were invited to attend workshops to further debate the idea of Peace.
