🇸🇪Atlas Exchange Program: A Week to Remember in Stockholm! 🇧🇦During the past month, students from UWC and Gimnazija Mostar had the incredible opportunity to take part in the Atlas Program of Exchange with Globala Gymnasiet in Stockholm, Sweden — and what an unforgettable experience it was!Engaging classroom visits in English and Physical Education took place, followed by a powerful student-led dialogue on global health, where students compared health challenges and approaches in Bosnia and Herzegovina and Sweden. Students participated in debates exploring global health differences and risk factors across countries, joined the traditional workers' rights march, while others explored Stockholm’s many free museums. Before heading home, students worked with art teachers Saša Šantić and Zaher Husseini to paint a mural symbolizing the vibrant connection between our schools, cities, and communities — a lasting expression of solidarity and shared values.UWC Mostar's Director of Advancement and Outreach also took part in the visit for the evaluation of the “Sustainable Cities” project in collaboration with Globala Gymnasiet, and in co-writing the application for a new collaborative project with Globala Gymnasiet and Gimnazija Mostar. This exciting initiative aims to empower youth to tackle global urban sustainability challenges through international cooperation and education. Meetings were also held with UWC National Committee Sweden, further strengthening our ties with one of the most vibrant UWC communities in the world.This trip exemplifies UWC Mostar’s deep commitment to global collaboration, peacebuilding, and sustainability — values that continue to guide and inspire us every day. A heartfelt thank you to Karolina, the students, teachers, and leadership of Globala Gymnasiet for their warm hospitality and partnership.Here’s to more shared projects, more student voices, and a more connected future!
