Visit from Inga Bostad

2018-04-10T15:34:48+01:00April 10th, 2018|

Inga Bostad visited us today here at UWC Red Cross Nordic. Inga is currently Professor of Philosophy at the University of Oslo and Professor at Oslo School of Architecture and Design. She was appointed director for the Norwegian Centre for Human Rights at the Faculty of Law from 2014-2017 and is, from 2018, at the Department of Education at the Faculty of Educational Sciences. She is also Chair of the jury for Queen Sonja’s school prize for equality and inclusion (2016 – present).

Inga’s programme included an introduction to the College, contributing to IB classes in Philosophy and Development Studies plus a guided tour of our campus by students.

It was a real pleasure to host Inga and introduce her to our work towards peace, sustainability, access and inclusion – and, given her professional background, she has generously given us some direction as to ways we can further serve Norway in the fields of education and human rights.

IB Visual Art Exhibition

2018-10-16T09:31:33+01:00April 9th, 2018|

After months of work in the classroom experimenting, exploring and producing, after countless hours of preparation and setting up, the 2nd year IB Visual Art students of RCN held their Final Exhibition, for all the community to see, on Sunday the 8th of April. This was a very emotional and vulnerable moment for the 2nd year students, as each piece and each space was carefully thought through, carefully crafted and for some, extremely personal. All of this effort, however, did not go unnoticed and resulted in a stunning exhibition opening, breathtaking moments for the students when they saw staff, students and visitors reacting to their work, and lastly to a beautiful ending to their two years of hard work as RCN Visual Art students. Congratulations to all!

Visit from UWC Mostar staff

Bonfire outside the new Baking House

We have been delighted to be able to host a team of Support Staff from our sister College, UWC Mostar, during the second half of last week. UWC Mostar kindly hosted a team of RCN Support Staff in the summer of 2012 and we wanted to reciprocate.

Our twelve guests have had an action packed programme which included presentations, meetings, dinner in Bekker House, folk dancing (gammaldans), excursions into the local region and much more finishing with a farewell bonfire outside the new Baking House.

It has been a great opportunity to learn from each other and we would like to thank UWC Mostar for their visit. We are looking forward to the continuation of the cooperation.
