Rektor (Head)

UWC is a global education movement uniting people, nations and cultures for peace and a sustainable future.

UWC Red Cross Nordic, established in 1995, is situated in Flekke, Fjaler Municipality 150km north of Bergen on the west coast of Norway. With a special emphasis on Nordic, environmental and humanitarian concerns, the College brings together 200 highly motivated students from all parts of the world so they can live and learn from each other. Providing a transformative holistic education through the IB Diploma, a challenging extra-academic programme and a deep commitment to service, compassion and personal responsibility, students become involved citizens whose attitudes towards understanding and tolerance are powerful catalysts for positive change.

We seek applications from talented and highly motivated school leaders who identify with UWC’s mission and relate specifically to the College’s Nordic character and values. An accomplished manager with vision, energy and empathy, you will thrive championing the College externally, engaging actively in all aspects of its life and inspiring the next phase of its development. If not a speaker of a Scandinavian language, a willingness to learn is desirable.

We will be celebrating UWC Day (which falls on 21st September) on Friday 20th September 2019 with a day given over to the theme, ‘Climate of Change’.

We are asking how can we contribute to positive changes for the Environment? We will be looking at this question from a personal, social and political perspective. The entire school day will be dedicated to this.
Students will be able to work on one of these parallel topics: Land, Sea and Air. In addition, we will be creating a hands-on environmental project in which participants will contribute to shaping the event through interaction.

On the day, a visiting alumnus will guide us all along a pathway from an environmental problem, showing its several aspects, to possible solutions. We would like the participants to recognize their own personal responsibility and show them possible options for action.
