I’ve attended UWC International Congress in Phuket, UWC Thailand, (The 2024 UWC International Congress, held from 29 February to 2 March, marked a significant milestone in the history of our movement. This Congress, which was a culmination of the UWC’s 60th anniversary celebrations, adopted a hybrid format, bringing together over 400 participants at our school in Phuket, UWC Thailand, while also connecting with numerous others virtually worldwide.
Under the banner of “Education as a Force,” derived from our mission to harness education as a catalyst for peace and sustainability, the Congress delivered inspiration to all. The event created dynamic discussions, fostered collaboration and paved the way for transformative initiatives across our global UWC community and beyond. Through a series of pre-Congress workshops and plenary sessions spanning from September 2023 to February 2024, followed by both in-person and virtual sessions at our first truly hybrid UWC International Congress, the UWC community came together in our commitment to drive change.)
