DILIJAN — This year, UWC Dilijan proudly celebrates the 10th anniversa- ry of its Summer Camps programme, marking a decade of inspiring young people from around the world through experiential learning, intercultural dia- logue and leadership development. Since its launch in 2015, the UWC Dilijan Summer Camps have wel- comed hundreds of students aged 11- 18 from dozens of countries, creating a vibrant international community each summer in the scenic mountains of Dilijan, Armenia. The camps combine academic exploration, outdoor adven- ture, creative expression and collab- orative problem-solving, empowering participants to build skills, friendships and perspectives that extend far be- yond the classroom. Through these experiences, stu- dents are encouraged to develop curiosity, resilience, and a commitment to making a positive difference in their communities. “Summer Camps have become an important gateway to the UWC mission for many young peo- ple,” said Elena Sheroziya, Summer Camps Director at UWC Dilijan. “For ten years, we’ve seen students arrive as strangers and leave as confident global citizens with lifelong friendships and a deeper understanding of the world.” The camps are supported by UWC Dilijan staff and alumni volunteers, who bring the United World Colleges ethos to life through mentorship, col- laboration and a shared dedication to peace and sustainability. Julian, who participated in the summer camp and then enrolled in UWC Dilijan said, “It taught me about intercultural under- standing, mutual respect and protecting the environment, ultimately lead- ing to my decision to study IB at UWC Dilijan and pursue Russian/Eurasian Studies at Leiden. I highly recom- mend the programme for teens with an interest in global issues and in meet- ing people from diverse countries and backgrounds.” As UWC Dilijan celebrates this milestone, the Summer Camps pro- gramme continues to evolve with new themes, workshops, and partnerships designed to address global challeng- es and inspire the next generation of changemakers. Youth from around the world are welcomed to experience a bit of Armenia in the magnificent set- ting of UWC Dilijan and leave with memories lasting a lifetime.
