IOC launches “1 in 100 Million” to celebrate the hope and inspiration of the Refugee Olympic Team for Paris 2024 and we are proudly showing the latest contribution of UWC Mostar alumna, Engy Jarrou, Syria, illustrator and author, who was an integral part of the production of the film representing the Olympic Refugee Team.The film was crafted utilising cutting-edge AI technology. An integral aspect of the film’s production was the engagement of contributors affiliated with the refugee community, such as illustrator and author Engy Jarrouj, a refugee from Syria at creative studio Framestore. The film also features an original piece of music produced by recording artists Che Lingo and Manon Dave.The film is part of a broader initiative that gives the team its own unique identity, nodding to the design of the first-ever Refugee Olympic Team emblem – a unifying symbol bringing together diverse athletes. The emblem features arrow markers, signifying the shared experience of their journeys, and a heart – originating from the Olympic Refuge Foundation (ORF) logo, to represent the belonging the team hopes to inspire and that athletes and displaced people around the world have found through sport.Commissioned by the International Olympic Committee to represent the Olympic Refugee Team participating in Paris, this film will be played at the Olympics' opening ceremony in Paris, Cannes Film Festival and as ads on a variety of media platforms.

UWC Mostar Short Course Bridging Cultures 2024 is in full swing!With 20 participants, 2 facilitators, 6 volunteers, and a coordinator we are connecting and learning with people from different cities from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Montenegro, Serbia, North Macedonia, and Albania.The overarching theme of the course is "Bridging Cultures" - with a reference to the bridge. The bridge, as an important architectural structure in Mostar, but also in every other community, connects two shores, two sides, two communities, and two people. Building on previous courses held at UWC Mostar, we continue to imagine ways we can learn about culture and identity, and ways we can build new communities. As always, providing a quality program for young people is our priority, so our facilitators are selected from the UWC movement and are alumni who individually strive to fulfil the mission of the UWC movement. At the same time, our organizers are using 10 days together to explore what culture and cultural identity means to us. The essence of the topic is learning about diversity through culture and its customs. What is culture is one of the leading questions we face in this short course. Our short course is a combination of sessions in and out of workshop space. Activities in “classrooms” are workshops, and activities outside classrooms are called umbrella groups.
