UWC Red Cross Nordic would like to congratulate Jens Waltermann on his appointment at Executive Director of UWC International Office.

Jens already has unique experience of the UWC movement. An alumnus of UWC Pearson College, he joined the German National Committee in 2006 and currently chairs its Board. Throughout his service with the committee he has been closely involved with the creation of UWC Robert Bosch College in Freiburg, which opened in 2014, and is vice-chair of its Board.

We look forward to welcoming him to our campus at some point in the near future.

Exploring a Dirty Truth

UWC Atlantic College Alumna Ulrika Bjørkstén yesterday visited the College and showed her prize-winning film ‘Dirty Waters: Discovering the dirty truth about the future of the Baltic Sea’. It provided a great case study about the problems of international co-operation in dealing with environmental issues. The film was well received by the students and the follow-up discussion was lively with good questions and thoughtful comments. The evening was much appreciated by the many students who attended. Thank you, Ulrika.

Extracts from the film are available here.
