The panel discussion will focus on how education and a lifelong commitment to social change can drive positive transformation in society, with insights relevant to both UWC and non-UWC communities.

This event offers a unique opportunity to explore how the United World Colleges (UWC) movement promotes global citizenship and fosters positive change worldwide. UWC was recently nominated for the second time for the Nobel Peace Prize, recognizing its impact on global citizenship and positive change.

Faith Abiodun, Executive Director of UWC International, will facilitate the event. Attendees will hear from Dr. Musimbi Kanyoro, Chair of the UWC International Board; Dr. Victoria Mora, President of UWC-USA; Susan Mullins, Chair of UWC Costa Rica; and Manolo Espinosa, Vice Chair of UWC International Council. They will be joined by UWC alumni, both young and experienced.

The discussion will focus on how education and a lifelong commitment to social change can drive positive transformation in society, with insights relevant to both UWC and non-UWC communities.

Founded in 1962, UWC is a global movement that makes education a force to unite people, nations, and cultures for peace and sustainability. UWC has a network of 18 schools on four continents, with volunteer-run national committees in more than 150 countries and territories. Today, over 11,000 students from more than 150 nations attend UWC schools and educational programs. The movement has inspired a network of over 60,000 alumni worldwide who are committed to fostering a more sustainable and peaceful world.
