Sparking conversations, compassion, and collective action

On Friday, 20 September, UWCSEA Dover and East Campuses united to celebrate UWC Day 2024, joining UWC communities worldwide under the theme Together We Change. Through the power of collective action, creativity, and global citizenship, this annual celebration brings students, staff, and alumni together in meaningful ways.

At UWCSEA Dover, students engaged in hands-on projects focused on sustainability and creativity

Primary School students learned eco-friendly practices with the gardening team, while Middle and High School students explored community impact through upcycling old uniforms, crafting recycled paper plant pots, and designing changemaker projects. They were also inspired by alumni and guest speakers who shared their own changemaker journeys.

Working in groups, students also painted tiles for a large mural symbolising our shared values and connections, creating opportunities for new friendships and deeper community understanding. The day concluded with a Peace Concert and a Global Concerns food fair representing cultures from around the world.

Over at UWCSEA East, students showcased their talents at morning assembly, with performances in circus acts, gymnastics, cheerleading, the pep band, and an energetic rock band.
