- Our student Carolyn (Alberta, Class of 2021) wants to share an update from UWC Adriatic: Hello from UWC Adriatic! I'm Carolyn (Alberta) and my fellow Canadians are Anna (Ontario) and Julien (Alberta). During UWC Day on September 21st, we were able to learn more about different issues ranging from the intricacies of gender identity to environment protection while taking some amazing pictures (like this picture)! We finished the night with a student-led cultural show. This year, I'm super excited to talk with my first years, explore the beautiful town of Duino more, and have more conversations with people.22 hours ago
