UWC ATLANTIC COLLEGE
I have a passion for education and UWC’s goals represent what I aspire to. I’ve been extremely fortunate to have been a part of their summer course programme as a facilitator and co-developer of the programme.
“UWC Atlantic inspires students to become Changemakers through lifelong commitment to service in the community, collaborative work and social engagement that develops in young people a sense of personal initiative.”
Global Leadership Experience
At the Global Leadership Experience in 2019, young people from across the world take a challenging journey towards becoming change makers and innovators capable of meeting the challenges that face our modern society. I was part of the organizing team that shaped the programme, facilitated workshops and guided the participants on their journey.
The UWC Atlantic College brings together 360+ students from 92 nationalities and a wide range of socio-economic backgrounds to study and live together for their final two years of high school. The goal is to engender personal leadership as global citizens in service to their community.
Global Leadership Programme
During this summer programme in 2018, participants between 15-18 years old develop product concepts and city development plans in line with sustainability & circular economy principles. As a sustainable design expert I coached the students through the second week’s design challenge.
UWC Atlantic Sustainability Conference
In 2017 I was invited at a conference organized by students of UWC Atlantic to share my thoughts on sustainable innovation and purpose in design.
