There is more in us than we know. If we can be made to see it, perhaps, for the rest of our lives we will be unwilling to settle for less.
Šta UWC čini drugačijim?
We believe that education should help young people discover that change is possible, and that they can make it happen.
As a UWC student, you’ll learn how you can inspire change through courageous action, selfless leadership, and careful listening. You’ll take part in experiences and community activities, so that you’re prepared to build with confidence and lead with compassion in later life.
Kako ovo postižemo?
We’ve built our educational model on a set of principles that aim to help you reach your potential – academically, morally, socially and emotionally. Our schools each have their own distinct identity, but they’re united by these common values.
- Education should take place within a diverse college community. Students should be selected from regions and social groups that reflect the wide range of tensions among and between people.
- Obrazovanje zahtijeva promociju međukulturalnog razumijevanja i razvoj iskrene brige za druge, zasnovane na zajedničkim životnim iskustvima, te saradničkom suživotu. To uključuje razgovore o globalnim pitanjima i angažovanje u njima u nastojanju da se postigne mir.
- Fizička kondicija i zdrav način života su sastavni dio razvoja uravnotežene ličnosti i proširenja naših potencijala. Nezdravi načini života ograničavaju ljudski potencijal.
- Interakcija u zajednici je srž školskog života. To zahtijeva punu i aktivnu participaciju svih članova škole ili koledža.
- Učenici treba da budu u mogućnosti da preduzimaju pozitivne akcije vezane za pitanja održivosti, kako na institucionalnom, tako i na individualnom nivou.
- Students must have opportunities to practice personal initiative, self-discipline and responsibility, and to manage risk and embrace challenges. Where appropriate, these opportunities need to be supported by a reassuring adult presence.
- Priznaje se činjenica da pojedinci posjeduju jedinstvene talente i sposobnosti. U svakoj školi/koledžu treba da postoje programi koji pomažu učenicima da ostvare svoj potencijal.
We’ve built our approach and curriculum on these principles and have inspired thousands to find the skills and confidence to spark change.
After UWC, you’ll be able to take the next steps on your path as a changemaker, either in university or towards a different calling. You’ll leave with a strong academic foundation and also a stronger understanding of yourself, the world around you, and the power to help others.
