Einar Steensnæs

The UWC started in 1962 with Atlantic College, Wales. Approaching 50 years, one could safely say we are reaching maturity as a movement. The question is: Are we also staying fresh? Are we able to renew ourselves and maintain our relevance in a changing world? My answer to both questions is without hesitation – yes. I have had the pleasure to serve this school as Chair for two periods now. At every single visit to the College I am struck by those contagious high spirits that the place brings about. The recipe is simple; bring together a student body that is purposely diverse. This temporary learning environment, where each is challenged on equal terms, is re-created every single year. Societies have changed since the early 1960s. We all know that multicultural communities are now to be found inside most countries. The success of the UWC as an educational

institution has been defined by the way our students experience this to be a place free from segregation. You learn – not only from going to classes and activities with fellow youngsters from all over the world, but also from that fact that you share your time and space with them in your daily life. This is an opportunity to get to know the other, not as a threatening foreigner, but as friend who may be searching for answers to some of the same questions as you are. This setting gives opportunities for new self discovery, about who you choose to be along with others. I am glad to see that our College has found practical ways to cooperate with the Norwegian Red Cross through the renewal of our co-operation agreement. I am glad to see that students with disabilities continue to be integrated in our student body and that each experiences this as enrichment. New for the intake of 2011 is the aim to recruit 3 students that are victims of land mines. Together with the Red Cross Haugland Rehabilitation Centre we are ideally equipped to offer a learning environment that focuses on possibilities rather than restrictions. This is the kind of renewal we need to keep an edge to what already is a well run school of enthusiasts. In the same spirit we have seen the initial steps towards creating a new Visitor Centre that will harness our Camp School and welcome new groups of people who come to our little fjord in order to meet the world.

It reassures me that the college heads, board and central office of the UWC has taken the lead when it comes to two key issues: identifying guiding principles for considerate behavior by students across the movement – a common code of conduct; and presenting UWC in a distinctive and easily recognized way. Clearly stated principles from the centre in these areas helps in providing a safe framework within which there is room for the special features of each constituency. The growth of new schools may be limited in the years to come. But building on the drive of our founding Director Magne Bjergene, the next one to be opened could be in China, where our school continues to play a supportive role. While keeping our own house in order, we can also make a contribution towards opening up new territories. I end my term of service with sincere thanks to each and everyone who contributes to making our school a daily reality: teachers, technical staff, administration – but not least: our students! This takes resources, but there is no better way for our fragile earth than to invest in the young and an education for peace and a sustainable future.

Annual Report 2010 Rektor’s Report - Guiding Principles & Questions The UWC board has now approved seven guiding principles on the practice of education within UWC schools and colleges. This was seen as a necessary support for planning new colleges and to lead the existing John Lawrenson ones into the future as we prepare to celebrate 50 years of UWC educational innovation and development with the need to “enshrine a commitment to the balanced development of the whole person; that is, its task is to encourage an integrated development of human potential across a range of different dimensions, including the intellectual, moral, aesthetic, emotional, social, spiritual and physical.” Each college will respond to the UWC mission statement within the context of its location. How closely will the operation of our college follow these guidelines, and are we in need of change? Are we preparing for a future in which acquiring skills becomes more important than knowledge or where learning how to learn is more needed than what we learn? We are! A colleague is preparing a plan to implement this. Let us look at each principle in turn. 1. “This education should take place within a diverse college community. The selection of students should reflect the wide range of tensions among and between peoples.” Few could doubt the diversity of UWC RCN. Thanks to our funding from the Nordic countries we have the freedom to select students who have experienced tensions between countries. We have few cases however where students have been selected to represent the tensions among peoples of identical nationalities but different beliefs and cultures. We will work with National Committees to achieve this. 2. “This education requires active promotion of intercultural understanding and the development of genuine concern for others and includes dialogue on global issues

and critical and courageous engagement in the pursuit of peace.” Here again the sting is in the tail, but I believe we have already taken steps along this route with our involvement in China and Western Sahara. 3. “This education should promote physical fitness and a healthy lifestyle.” The college has access to facilities and a location that should encourage physical fitness and tries to educate towards a healthy lifestyle, but with limited success. I praise the efforts of our residential staff in this area. They are working hard to gain acceptance among students of the need for this.

Academics Examinations In May 2010 examinations were written in 70 subject-levels, including 34 “self-taught schoolsupported” languages A1. 91 candidates gained the Diploma with an average points score of 34 and average grade per subject of 5.4. Concerning subjects written for Diploma examinations, average subject results obtained by this year group were higher than world averages in 34 of 35 subject-level examinations (the exception being an average of 0.1 of a grade lower!).

4. “This education includes community interaction, which is placed at the heart of college life. This requires the full and active participation of all members of the school or college.” We firmly think this is one of our strong points. E.g. we make sure that all students have face to face service by instructing at Leirskule and that this experience is mutually beneficial. Recognition of this through a UWC Diploma will only strengthen this kind of involvement, both on an institutional and personal level.

Extended Essay

5. “This education enables students to engage in continuing, positive action towards issues of sustainability, on both an institutional and individual level.” There has been much improvement over the previous two years and with a strong group handing on the tradition we can continue to expand our efforts. 6. “This education offers opportunities for students to practice personal initiative, self discipline and responsibility, to manage risk and embrace challenge.” Even in the current climate of concern for health & safety, the board encourages us to give students more opportunities to take initiatives. It is possible to provide adult support without eliminating the student’s responsibility.

With effect from September 2011, the I.B. will introduce new language courses in Groups 1 & 2. A series of meetings of language teachers during 2010 resulted in the decision to adopt Option A Literature for Danish, Norwegian and Swedish, ALiterature and B for Spanish. Teachers of English will offer A-Literature, B-Language & Literature, and the interdisciplinary Groups 1 & 6 Text and Performance.

7. “This education recognizes that each individual possesses unique talents and abilities. Programs should exist in each college, which enables all selected students to fulfill their potential.“ I believe this college has the means and expertise to expand what we offer both beyond the IB diploma and within the IB umbrella for motivated students to focus on enhancing their areas of greatest strength and interest.

All our students undertake the learning process of writing an extended essay. This year Selja Vassnes’ (Norway) Extended Essay in Human Rights was selected by the IB Curriculum and Assessment Centre for inclusion in the forthcoming publication “50 More Excellent Extended Essays”.

Groups 1 & 2

“Nordisk språk” (Nordic language) In November 2010 we received enthusiastic approval from the I.B. to conduct - with effect from September 2011 – first year Nordic language classes (Danish, Norwegian, Swedish) in “nordisk språk” studying texts across the three languages with students then separating in their second year into respective language classes. Initiated by Development Director Arne Osland and supported by Nordplus, this project was formulated and refined by teachers chaired by Linda Sturesson, with the aim of increasing awareness of commonalities and interesting differences among the three languages.

Spanish B In August 2010 Spanish B was offered as a Group 2 option at both HL and SL, replacing Spanish ab initio SL. Initiated by teacher Mariano Giampetri partly in response to students gaining excellent results in Spanish ab initio (itself a reflection of the quality of his teaching as well as the context of RCN,

with its many native-Hispanic speakers, as a setting conducive to learning Spanish), and partly to enhance the quality of Spanish language learning at the College. As well as increasing flexibility of students’ subject-level choices (the additional HL option in Group 2), this development also reflects our core aim – to enhance learning possibilities through encouraging challenging courses, rather than achieving high grades as a first interest. One can argue that a similar perspective is embedded in our practice of encouraging students to study English A2 rather than English B.

Global Politics The IB is developing a new course entitled Global Politics, in effect an amalgamation of different school-based syllabuses including RCN’s own Human Rights SL; teacher Dr. Narender Dalal continued to participate in I.B. meetings to this end, and we expect to participate in the piloting of this new course from September 2012.

IT Developments With all classrooms internet-connected, additional computers, projectors and Smart Boards were fitted in 2010, so that 13 classrooms/laboratories are now fully equipped (with additional portable projectors & computers available). The new College website (“w4” to replace the existing “w3.rcnuwc.no”) is being developed by an external consultant who met with staff during 2010; we anticipate w4 to be operational in early 2011.

Keeping the College Sailing

I’mpossible? The co-operation with the Red Cross Haugland

After 15 successful years for RCNUWC there is always the need to renew and to think about the ways ahead and how to develop and grow as a larger institution. Certainly in day to day affairs, we are on constant lookout and in questioning mode; trying to find the best alternatives between altruistic ideals for the community and what we might want for ourselves. With almost half our community members changing every year, one size definitely does not fit all. We spend time and patience to find the middle road between dialogue and discipline, perseverance and sanctions, responsibility and flexibility. We are dealing with teenagers who at times can be remarkable mature individuals and at others

juvenile. We need to meet them as full human beings, with their intellect and emotions, allow them to have fun while they still are encouraged in their pursuit of ideals and knowledge. It is not possible to put these items on auto pilot. With patience and understanding of each individual and the support of advisors, teachers and all staff, we manage to keep sailing on course. Perhaps now is the time to be glad for the achievements made and to look forward to new developments to run our home that is also an institution for learning and ambition.

Rehabilitation Centre is a crucial asset in our work to include students with disabilities, so that it becomes an experience to gain from for all. In our joint focus for enabling people, we are now working to include three land mine victims for the uptake in August 2011. The idea for this was launched by General Secretary of the Norwegian Red Cross, Børge Brende during his visit to Haugland last year. At the end of the year the two institutions hosted a visit by Cato Zahl Pedersen, who addressed employees, students and patients with stories and reflections. Cato finished his talks in the auditorium with a riddle. What do you choose; “Impossible” or “I’m possible”?

Through experiences from his own life, Cato gave an example of how your focus can make a difference. He shared stories from the sick bed – losing both arms as a teenager – and from his expeditions to the South Pole and the Antarctic. And then he had to venture into the unexpected – as our philosophy students invited him to an early breakfast dialogue. Cato was game – and added it to his busy program before addressing patients and staff at the Rehabilitation Centre. I’mpossible!

Democracy Project Financed by Nordplus, the College has been partner in a project with the theme “Democracy in Modern and Historic Times”. Partners were Young People to Schools (Estonia), Mission Possible (Latvia) and Centre for School improvement (Lithuania) and the National Committee of the UWC in Denmark . At the first visit to the College, the 37 participants took part in our Model United Nations together with our first year students. The visit also included a historical perspective, with a trip to the ancient parliament at Gulatinget on the way from Bergen. The program in the city itself was arranged by the United Nations Association West. The visiting groups from Denmark and Estonia followed it all up with inviting our students to come to their countries in October. The group going to Copenhagen learned about the nature of Scandinavian democracy.

The students engaged in a range of activities that presented a challenge but also an affirmation of many UWC values. Included in this was a visit to the Christiansborg Parliament building, the Workers’ Museum and the “free state” Christiania. The visit to Estonia was organized in special contexts, as reaction to a new educational law passed by the country’s parliament. This legislation stresses the importance of tolerance as a value that must be taught to high school students as part of their academic curriculum. Our project was an attempt to give these intentions a meaning. Most of the program was held in Tartu, with focus on tensions between Estonians and Russian Estonians and their experience of each other. Our students learned a good deal more about aspects of Danish and Estonian social and political life. It was a revelation to learn about the diversity of institutions in the Nordic and Baltic countries

The Show Must Go On! Sometimes you get a reminderthatnatureputs

Looking for Trouble - Red Cross First Aid The first aid programme at the College has seen many developments in recent years, but none more important than in 2010. In April, fourteen students from the First Aid Team travelled to Nesholmen for a weekend course organized by Hjelpekorpset, the Norwegian Red Cross search and rescue organization. The “Operativt grunnkurs barmark” is the training course required by all Hjelpekorpset members before they can take their place in a rescue team, and ensures that all team members have a common skills base. It is essential that rescuers are able to travel safely without becoming casualties themselves, so time was spent developing navigation and other outdoor skills such as fire-lighting and use of VHF radio. Searching for casualties was the main focus of the weekend, and students gained experience in various specialized techniques for areas like shorelines and buildings as well as the more general patrol searches. Finally, consideration was given to several methods of evacuating a casualty including helicopter rescues and

using a stretcher over difficult terrain. “The course was fun and exciting”, said Christoffer Rahbeck (Denmark), “and gave us a lot of experience we can build on”, while Tea Dejanovic (Bosnia & Herzegovina) described the weekend as “a unique experience and an opportunity that I could never get back home”. This weekend was also an excellent opportunity for cooperation between the College and the local Red Cross.

limits to our human activities. In May the College and Fjaler Municipality prepared for the visit of our patron Her Majesty Queen Sonja. Then there were news of ash clouds coming from volcanic activities on Iceland. Her Majesty has come in person to greet every single generation since the start in 1995. But this time it was not possible to fly from the east to the west coast. The activities that were planned still went on. The Mayors of Sogn og Fjordane, Nils R Sandal, and Fjaler, Arve Helle, found the front seats in the auditorium together with the Deputy Governor Anne Karin Hamre, without royal company. The breath taking student show, directed by teacher Kåre Sandvik, was filmed by a professional crew and made available for the palace and others who could not be present on the day.

been generously given to us by Marianne Andresen. Our own students Lorela Ciraku (Albania) and Craig Christensen (Canada) together with two visitors from Finland; Kosti and Miina Hiltunen gave a classical concert worthy of a remarkable instrument. There are times when events do not turn out the way they are planned, and you have to make the most out of it. Other times grace makes you the receiver of an unexpected gift. Like Rektor John Lawrenson put it after the Grand Piano was well in place, “The donation has been like the perfect Christmas gift, something your tight running costs would not allow you to prioritize, but which gives you the best value imaginable”.

Also our annual Council Meeting was affected by the flight cancellations. This time it was planned to be something special as the Presidium of the Nordic Association would take place at the College at the same time, with joint sessions focusing on our Nordic dimension. Due to swift action, not the least by our Council Chair Erling Olsen and the Nordic Association, a well attended meeting was improvised to take place in Oslo. A highlight of the planned Nordic events was the opening concert for the Grand Piano, which has

Moving on to University Studies Our 2010 leavers followed mainly in the footsteps of their 2nd Years, with 57 matriculating immediately in the US; the University of Florida and Macalester College proving the most popular destinations. Deferrals of US places accounted for 7 students. Volunteering took 3 young men, all of whom have guaranteed places for the following year in Norway, Canada and the US. 14 students returned to study in their home country, of whom 5 in Norway. 5 non-national students were admitted

in the UK, 3 in France. Norway, Canada, Hungary and Iceland each attracted one. 2 students decided to work for a year or so. There are unfortunately 3 students from whom we have no final communication, but nonetheless we wish them all the best and are ready to help them in the future with any applications. Another successful meeting of the UWC Counsellors at the end of April was hosted by Macalester, St Olaf, Carleton and Luther in the Mid West in the US, a chance to see the institutions and exchange views and experiences, and not least meet up with RCN Alums!

Residential Life - New Code of Conduct In the residential life, interaction between students, students and staff, all with a variety of cultural backgrounds, is creating a stimulating and challenging situation where the main focus is on concerns for humans and the environment – in the widest sense. This means learning to live together and share responsibilities with fellow students from a number of different cultures and backgrounds. It is about sharing your room with four previous strangers and your house with 39 others. Building relationships in the residences is part of a process where you learn to live with different cultures and take part in the traditions of others. In a practical sense this means organising and taking responsibility for daily tasks. Every year 100 new students settle in at our campus. In a rapidly changing world, technological development and internationalisation put each and one into a position

having to deal with new question. In our context this has led to much dialogue about how we want to shape and share our daily life at the college: How can we live together? These discussions led to an agreement on a new, general and simplified “Code of Conduct”, developed in cooperation between students and staff. The Student Council was an important contributor in pointing out the direction of the agreement, a code of conduct focusing on the rights and obligations of members of the college community. An important change was the decision to not allow smoking in any place on campus. Our agreement fed into a similar discussion across the movement. As a result the UWC now has a shared Code of Conduct to guide us when it comes to living so closely together in a purposely diverse residential situation. The daily life together is one of our most valuable sources for learning.

Busy Bees Therehasneverbeenashortageofinitiativewith students and staff at the UWC RCN. Recent graduate from Canada, Craig Christensen, is one of these who has left a mark in his contributions towards more sustainability. Coming from a rural area in Northeastern Alberta, he has always been in close sight of the interactions between humans and the natural environment. At the college Craig has wanted to be involved with as many practical environmental activities as possible; composting, growing vegetables and farming. Coming from a family of commercial honey producers, Craig finally set about to establish honey production near campus. Local knowledge of the trade was something he gained with the help of the beekeeper Eivind Vereide.

Students at work

Our Financial Director, Stig Moltumyr, has supported the project throughout. When asked, ‘What is the effect of this project form the Schools point of view?’ he said, “All people have their way of learning, and mixing theory with more “learning by doing” might be good for many students. To turn theory into practice is good not only for the students, but also for the Staff. It’s the physical evidence that something Staff and students - Learning from the expert actually happens. To turn the world towards a sustainable lifestyle we all have got to care. We have to know about nature. We think that by learnblooms, during early August. The Bee keeping ing about and enjoying the beauty and wonders of activity has followed up with harvest and work on nature, a love towards it will be established. “ how to refine the product. Craig has flown away Despite some unexpected challenges during the summer, the bee-colonies were strong enough to collect around 20kg of honey from the heather-

from campus after graduation, but as long as there are people to care, there will be honey to harvest at the shores of the Flekke fjord.

Preparing for a New Life Towards the end of the summer break, 24 nervous but eager new students participated in our Summer Course. Over the four weeks they enhanced their English and developed skills such as public speaking, planning and preparing events and getting involved with the community.

Traditional Boat Building How do you learn about the people who lived before us? One way of doing it is to take up their practices and experience it yourself. This is the main reason why traditional boating is done on the shores of our campus. And we are not only making use of old wooden boats, we are actually making one. Our most traditional boat house was made possible by a donation from the Foundation, “Knut E. Lorentzen, En Glad Gutt”. Knut E. Lorentzen was himself a UWC graduate of Atlantic College, who unfortunately passed away in a drowning accident, just after turning 20 years. The last part of this donation is now being used to build a replica sheriff boat from the early 19th century. The building work is led by carpenter Ove Losnegård. Every Friday students join in with the work. During Project Week in October, this work was intensified, when it came to learn an essential craft with a brutal name: “neck cutting” (halshogging). According to Ove all students went at it baldheaded. One of the participants, Lea Sanches Milde from Spain, says that while building she had association of Viking Ships. And then she could visualize how the sheriff was sitting at the back of the boat giving orders, while the four rowers kept it on route to its destination. The boat will be finished during 2011, and then it will be in active use on the fjord. Learning from the past by taking part in the way it used to be done.

At the same time they were eased into our routines and structures. This process was aided by a small group of enthusiastic Heggnes graduates as volunteers. The group participated in several community events; starting with the Jakob Sande festival. Here the students got their first opportunity to organize and run a cafe for one of the evening events. It was a great way for our newcomers to meet some of the locals. At the International day during the Dalsfjord Week, the students showcased their national dress, dance and musical talents.. Throughout the course they spent their mornings in class improving their English, learning how to debate, give presentations and developing their writing skills. The afternoons were spent exploring sights on excursions and hikes, playing sport, swimming, canoeing and relaxing in the afternoon sunshine.

The summer course culminated in five fantastic days spent at Heggnes; a lovely old farm house that the school is using for projects that promote environmental awareness. For five blissful days the students worked in the veggie garden, built fences and paths, swam, cooked together, learnt about and used composting toilets, sang and played games. They rediscovered life without computers, the internet and mobile phones. On the hike back home to school, excitement grew with the realization that the 2010 school year would officially begin the next day. Coming down the final hill there were sounds of drums and horns- and then there was a sea of smiling and excited second year faces who were there to welcome their new first years to Flekke.

The Board of Directors and the Managing Director Responsibility for the Financial Statements The Board of Directors and the Managing Director is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with the Norwegian Accounting Act and accounting standards and practices generally accepted in Norway, and for such internal control as the Board of Directors and the Managing Director determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditor’s Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with laws, regulations, and auditing standards and practices generally accepted in Norway, including International Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the foundation’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the foundation’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

Opinion In our opinion, the financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of the foundation Red Cross Nordic United World College as of 31 December 2010, and of its financial performance for the year then ended in accordance with the Norwegian Accounting Act and accounting standards and practices generally accepted in Norway.

The grant from the Swedish Ministry of Foreign Affairs remained the same as for 2010: NOK 5,500,000,-. It is to cover for the majority of our students coming from the Least Developed and Other Low Income Countries according to the OECD list of DAC recipients. It also assumes that the College will cover for the Swedish students, through other sources of income.

For 2010, Denmark contributed with a block grant from the Ministry of Education with an amount of NOK 2,001,000,. Beyond this, the National Committee contributed NOK 1,151,000,-. This is composed of a fixed sum from the Ministry in accordance with the Act pertaining to Upper Secondary Schools (Dansk Gymnasielov) and contributions from the National Committee of the UWC.

Report on the Financial Statements We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the foundation Red Cross Nordic United World College, which comprise the balance sheet as of 31 December 2010, and the income statement, showing a profit of NOK 1 488 470 for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
