UWC Armenia - UWC Հայաստան

Next in Newsline, an exciting announcement from UWC Dilijan✨

The Armenian Students’ Association has officially been established on campus, marking a new chapter for student-led community building and cultural engagement. The initiative was created by a team of six students working across logistics, communication, events, and external collaboration, all with one shared purpose.

“We want to make the Armenian community stronger and more connected.” - Aram.
ASA’s mission is to unite students, faculty, and staff of Armenian descent and to promote Armenian culture, heritage, and history in an inclusive and open space.

In its first months, the association has already co organized the “Forget Me Not” remembrance week, bringing together personal stories, dialogue sessions, and a commemorative walk to the Dilijan Memorial. The initiative created space for reflection, remembrance, and community connection.

We are incredibly proud of our students for turning vision into action and building a community that already feels meaningful and alive.

April 24 is a day of solemn remembrance.

Today, we honor the memory of the 1.5 million Armenians who perished in the genocide of 1915. We remember the lives, the stories, and the heritage that endure beyond loss.

In honoring the past, we reaffirm our responsibility to remain aware, compassionate, and committed to human dignity everywhere.

Memory is an act of justice.

Newsline from UWC Atlantic 🗞️
Rob takes us inside a caving adventure in Dan-yr-Ogof, South Wales: four hours of crawling, climbing, and pushing through the unknown.
For Rob, it wasn’t just about the cave, but the feeling of exploring something completely new and realizing how much you can grow when you step outside your comfort zone.
Because sometimes the best UWC lessons don’t happen in a classroom… they happen 4 hours underground. 🌍

Today’s UWC Newsline is from Mari, bringing us a story from APAC Regional Day at UWC Pearson.
Mari shares a meaningful moment with her close friend Shin, the only student from Myanmar, who performed a traditional Burmese dance. As the sole representatives of their countries, both Mari and Shin understand the importance of sharing their cultures with their community.
Mari says that taking part in the dance was an honor, an experience that allowed her to learn, connect, and celebrate culture through friendship.
