- "Belgian student believes anything is possible through dance" In the USA , one of our Belgian students, Selma Stocker (UWC USA '21) is inspiring others with what she calls her biggest passion; dance. In a recent edition of their school newspaper, Selma shares her journey as a dancer and explains how dance can be used as a way to inspire others and change the world. "Through dance, Selma Stocker '21, Belgium, believes anything is possible." Through movement, she attempts to add value in the lives of others around her. Selma gave her father hope after he was temporarily paralyzed from a car accident, helped a 10-year-old boy with autism express himself beyond his bubble and worked with a classmate to dance freely after experiences with a restrictive background. Read more about it in our post, or the link in our bio! Our students are extremely talented and exceptional, and UWC aims to provide them with the tools to become the change makers of tomorrow.
