Every year, UWC students across all colleges attend a week-long project. It is one of the most educational parts of co-curricular learning at UWC Mostar.

Projects are designed by students and staff and aim to challenge students to better themselves, explore their passion, and share their experiences with the rest of the community. It is also a great opportunity to meet new friends and discover oneself.

Project weeks are also an important outreach activity of UWC Mostar. It offers us an opportunity to strengthen our connection to the local community, expand on our work with local partners, and live on our mission of building bridges between people and cultures. By participating in a project week, students also become ambassadors of UWC Mostar which helps build connections across Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Our project weeks are grouped into three different categories:

✅Service Project Weeks - learning through service while partnering with local organizations

✅Expedition Project Weeks - learning through the discovery of nature or historical sites

✅Creativity Project Weeks - learning through creation

This year, in order to make sure we all get to see the great work they've done during the week, we have prepared a special Enews edition dedicated to our 28 project weeks and students' experiences on their exciting journeys!

This special Enews edition will be available on our social media and webpage by the end of the week, so stay tuned! ... See MoreSee Less

Celebration of International Day of Peace 18-21 September 2024, Mostar

United World College (UWC) Mostar, the Network for Building Peace, forumZFD in Bosnia and Herzegovina (Forum Civil Peace Service), and the Local Democracy Agency Mostar (LDA Mostar), with the support of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and the Rockefeller Brothers Fund, are organizing the celebration of the International Day of Peace on September 21, and UWC Day on September 21. During the event, the 'Goran Bubalo Peace Award' will be presented, and the 'Global Campaign for Peace Education' will be marked on September 20. Additionally, there will be educational activities, conferences, theatrical performances, and workshops attended by students from 72 different countries, including those from regions currently experiencing conflicts. We will conclude the event with a rock concert aimed at young people and anyone who feels young at heart. On this occasion, we are gathering peace activists, teachers, experts, educators, and young activists. We invite all representatives from the formal and informal education sectors, civil society organizations, and interested individuals to join us for the Days of Peace in Mostar.

Who we are

Entering the Mostar Gimnazija in 2006, our school building was still partly in ruin from a war that had ended only a decade before. Now, after more than twenty years of peace, UWC Mostar stands as a bright model for post-conflict education and reconciliation. Though national divisions in Bosnia and Herzegovina persist — we are still the only school in the country where Bosniak, Croat, and Serb youth live and go to school together — the college has affirmatively grounded itself in our community. And with nearly 200 students from 72 countries, staff from 10 countries, and with 1098 alumni all around the world, the global family of UWC Mostar grows year by year.

Learning in Mostar

We learn in Mostar through late night talks in rooms, on walks from residence to school, sharing coffee with refugees in service activities, collecting oral histories for Balkan Studies projects, in buses traveling around the region for project weeks and, of course, through inspiring classes that aim to reimagine our relationships with facts and ideas that shape these worlds outside the classroom. While the International Baccalaureate forms the foundation for academics, any UWC Mostar student will tell you that the intellectual and emotional growth you undergo here cannot be contained by the IB. We are committed to the fact that learning takes place in the everyday.

Living in Mostar

At UWC Mostar, the city is our campus, and our campus is the city. Unique amongst UWCs, our students and staff live all around the city of Mostar. We share our main school building with the Mostar Gimnazija, one of the best secondary schools in the country. Our cultural performances are held in a city youth center. Teachers and students meet in local coffee shops to discuss academics and plan the community festivals we host for the community. Music at the Sarajevo Jazz Festival are a short bus ride away. Integration and engagement are essential practices, core to our daily existence.
