United World College - Overview

United World Colleges (UWC) is unique. It is the only global educational movement that brings together students from all over the world – selected on personal merit, irrespective of race, religion, politics and the ability to pay – with the explicit aim of fostering peace and international understanding.

UWC was founded in 1962 and originated in the ideas of German educationalist Kurt Hahn. Hahn believed that much could be done to overcome hostility and conflict if young people from different nations, races and religions could be brought together to learn from each other.

Today there are fourteen United World Colleges (links posted in side bar), each with its own distinctive character, but sharing a common mission and values. In the turbulent world of the twenty-first century, these values are as relevant today as they were in 1962 – perhaps more so.

UWC offers a rigorous 2 year academic program using the International Baccalaureate with a strong emphasis on community service.

President of the United World Colleges: HM QUEEN NOOR of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordon
Hon. President of the UWC International Council: MR. NELSON MANDELA, former President of the Republic of South Africa

Argus Walk the Walk

Join UWC Bermuda on the Argus Walk the Walk.
Sunday, February 27th, 2011 at 8:30am
City of Hamilton

It’s that time of year again! The Centre on Philanthropy, in partnership with Argus, are excited to launch this year’s Walk the Walk, the charity walk where the walker gets to choose which charity benefits from your registration fee.

It couldn’t be simpler – go online to www.racedayworld.com to register and choose your charity as the one they want their registration fee to go to. Last year more than $12,000 was donated to over 60 charities by 532 walkers – we would love to beat this record, but it’s up to you and the people who love your charity.

The UWC Bermuda charity number is 346 and we hope you will join us on our first fund raising event of the year. See the poster for details.
