UWC Community

Deliberately diverse, engaged and motivated community

The selection of students should ensure representation from regions and social groups that reflect the wide range of tensions among and between people.

UWC Values

Pursuit of international and intercultural understanding; celebration of difference; personal responsibility and integrity; mutual responsibility and respect; compassion and service; respect for the environment; a sense of idealism; personal challenge; action and personal example.

Experience

Mission and Outcomes: Peace and a Sustainable Future

Teaching

Experiential Learning

Young people are thrust into a dynamic and diverse community. By living and working together, students develop empathy and make sense of their experiences through such means as reflection, dialogue, trial-and-error, and perspective taking.

Courageous Action • Personal Example • Selfless Leadership

By bringing together a diverse and motivated student body, immersing them in a global community experience based on the UWC values, and challenging them formally and informally, students grow in their abilities to be active global citizens.

“The LPC experience had a huge impact on my life. First of all it allowed me to meet some of the best friends I’ve ever had. It also gave me the opportunity to be taught by extremely talentedteacherswhostronglyinspiredmy careerchoices.It strengthened my values and allowed me to understand and appreciate cultural diversity and at the same time to understand how similar we all are.

Today I work at WWF international where I manage projectsdesignedtopromotetheconservationof marineresourcesintheMediterraneanSea. Iinteractwithpartnersfrommanydifferent countries and this often reminds me of the privilege of having had such wonderful multiculturaleducationexperience.”

Joyce is the Founding Director of New Sight Eye Care Congo, the first eye clinic to be set up in the Republic of Congo.

“What makes UWC truly unique in the world is its very heart. Its heart beats for every nation, tribe and race. Its heart beats to serve and make this world a better place. Its heart beats to dispel prejudice and celebrate the richness of diversity. Its heart stirred my 17-year-old one from a sheltered life in Hong Kong and changed it forever. It translated the needs of the world from head knowledge into real faces and lives. It awakened the passion that is buried inside every one of us–tomakea difference.”

Joyce Samoutou, Hong Kong (UWC Atlantic College) Founder of New Sight Eye Care Congo

Christina is the founder and director of Blue Sky Energy Technology. During her time at Brown University, she establishedRainwaterforHumanity.

“I cultivated my passion for environmentalism. Even before LPCUWC, I knew I had an interest in Physical Geography — the meandering of the rivers, the landscape of the mountains —but it was at LPCUWC that I found a shaking frustration that would eventually channel interest into cause. In the academic year of 2005-06, the LPC Greenagers (“Green” + “Teenagers”) came into being. This was one my most memorable moments from LPC. Dressed in lab coats, with goggles and masks from the school science labs, the group made their way to Paterson Street in Causeway Bay, found a spot, and lay down. The message was that we had been poisoned dead by severe air pollution.”

Christina Tang, Hong Kong (LPCUWC) Founder and Director of Blue Sky Technology

Cengiz is a consultant at ReD Associates — a strategy consultancy that uses the methods of the social sciences to solve key strategic problemsforworld’slargestcorporations, governments,andNGOs.

“My job requires me to meet and spend a lot of time with a variety of people. What LPC taught me was to leave as many of my preconceived notions at the door and genuinely care about these people that I meet each day. Putting people,theiremotions,ambitions,hopesat the forefront, UWC mission and LPC’s interpretation of it really helps me be a much better anthropologist and a strategy consultant at my daily work.”
