Happy UWC Day! Today marks UWC Day, the annual global celebration of the UWC mission and values, which takes place on 21 September every year, to coincide with the UN International Day of Peace. The UWC community takes this opportunity to celebrate, reflect and act. Celebrating the mission. Reflecting on what we do as a movement and to determine how to be more effective changemakers and continue to challenge ourselves. Taking action in our local communities in support of UWC values. This year's theme is 'United We Can'. Divisiveness, tension and walls have been building around the world over the last few years. In some respects, it feels as if UWC's goal of uniting people, nations and cultures through education is moving further away. The global crises we face -whether the current health crisis or the longer-term climate crisis- make our mission more urgent than ever. Because UNITED we can overcome the isolation many currently feel. United we can solve climate issues, inequalities and conflict. UNITED we can solve climate issues, inequalities and conflict. It's the only way. ‍‍ Yesterday, the Belgian National Committee organised an online get-together event for alumni, current students and parents. The participants took the time to reconnect and to take part in a UWC-themed trivia game. We enjoyed spending time with you and hope to see you again soon
