UWC Adriatic

Duino, Itália

Idades 16-19 anos

Founded

3 March 2017

The area north of Trieste experienced great bloodshed at the time of World War I and the Second World War brought further political and ethnic divisions to this part of Europe - a meeting place of Germanic, Latin and Slav cultures. By entering this arena of ethnic and historical complexity, UWC Adriatic has embraced an educational role of highly-charged political meaning and stepped into a world of extraordinary cultural diversity. For these very reasons the regional government of Friuli Venezia Giulia and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs backed the project from the outset and remain the College’s main stakeholders.

Três características únicas:

  • Experiencia de imersão italiana - Os alunos usufruem de uma educação UWC enquanto são simultaneamente expostos à riqueza e diversidade cultural de Itália. O Colégio encontra-se numa encruzilhada política, cultural e geográfica no coração da Europa.
  • Música - Music plays a major role at UWC Adriatic thanks to the presence of a music academy (ICMA) that aims to explore the full range of musical genres and styles from around the world.A música desempenha um papel importante no UWC Adriatic graças à presença de uma academia de música (ICMA) que visa explorar toda a gama de géneros e estilos musicais de todo o mundo.
  • A Village, not a Campus - UWC Adriatic is not enclosed in its own campus, rather its residences, academic building, laboratories, etc. are scattered throughout the village. Students are integrated into the lives of the local and surrounding communities through their daily life and weekly social services.
