It provides a recap of the highlights of the past year and celebrates the invaluable support we have received from our alumni and friends. Their generous demonstration of faith in the mission and values of the college are examples of the commitment that will be increasingly essential for the college to maintain its role of promoting international and environmental understanding to future generations of scholarship students. During the last year, we received more alumni support than ever before, even though difficult economic times are continuing to prevail in many parts of the world. For many of our alumni their experience at UWC Adriatic was a genuinely transformational time. That they remember the college whilst celebrating a personal life-changing event some years afterwards is particularly gratifying. We especially thank the generosity of action and spirit of Karen and Johannes (p20), Lucilla and Espen (p21), and Amanda and Christopher (p21). We send you our best wishes for your future happiness. We are also grateful to all the foundations and public institutions which supported the College this year. We The thirty years of the United World College of the Adriatic are celebrated in a historical epoch that is delicate, difficult. There have been years of hope: since the end of totalitarian regimes, the end of a world divided into separate blocks, of construction and enlargement based are particulary pleased to welcome four new institutions among our recent donors (Fondazione Banco di on peace and redemption of the countries in the southern hemisphere. Today, in a period of deep economic crisis, of withdrawal, we see Sardegna, Fondazione Sassi Matera, Fondazione Casali and Banca Popolare di Vicenza) and welcome back ever today, the illuminated presence of the College of Duino, of its educational model, of its young people destined to become a ruling class Confindustria Trieste. Through our ever expanding alumni network and partners, the mission of making ghosts re-emerging from the past, those of the closing of nations, of ethnical and territorial egoisms. For this reason we need, more than spread throughout the world. Because thirty years later we still need far-sighted people. On.

Thank you once again for all the ways in which you’re supporting UWC Il trentennale del Collegio del Mondo Unito dell’Adriatico cade in una fase storica delicata, difficile. Ci sono stati gli anni della speranza: della fine dei totalitarismi, della fine del mondo diviso in blocchi, della costruzione e allargamento dell’Unione europea, di nuovi rapporti Adriatic and for your help in securing our future together. internazionali basati sulla pace e sul riscatto del Sud del pianeta. Oggi, in un momento di profonda crisi economica e di ripiegamento, Yours faithfully vediamo riemergere vecchi fantasmi, quelli delle chiusure nazionali, degli egoismi etnici e territoriali. Per questo abbiamo bisogno più che mai, oggi, della presenza illuminata del Collegio di Duino, del suo modello educativo, dei suoi giovani futura classe dirigente disseminata nei Paesi di tutto il mondo. Perché a trent’anni di distanza abbiamo ancora bisogno di chi sappia guardare lontano. Dr. Michael Price Amb. Gianfranco Facco Bonetti Rettore, UWC Adriatic President, UWC Adriatic On. Renzo Tondo, Presidente della Regione Autonoma Friuli Venezia Giulia Our Mission UWC makes education a force to unite people, nations and cultures for peace and a sustainable future. U WC schools, colleges and programmes deliver a challenging and transformative educational experience to a diverse cross section of students, inspiring them to create a more peaceful and sustainable future. UWC believes that to achieve peace and a sustainable future, the values it promotes are crucial: International and intercultural understanding Celebration of difference Respect for the environment 4 www.uwcad.it UWC ADRIATIC, Collegio del Mondo Unito dell’Adriatico O.N.L.U.S. Personal responsibility and integrity Obtain a sense of idealism Mutual responsibility and respect Seek personal challenges Compassion and community service Learning through action and personale examples UWC Adriatic, ANNUAL REPORT 2011-2012 [email protected] 5 Patrons & Governance Governing Bodies UWC Adriatic - The Council of Adminsitration - The Life Patron Arrigo Levi In memory of ... Patrons UWC International Movement - The Board of Auditors - The President - The Rettore Amb. Gianfranco Facco Bonetti Dr. Michael Price - The President - The Honorary President Her Majesty Queen Noor of Jordan Nelson Mandela Zaid Khasro T his year we mourned the tragic loss of Zaid Khasro Akram, whose life was prematurely cut short on 3 August 2011 in a car accident in his home country of Iraq. Zaid joined the College in August 2010 as a determined and energetic character, “a friend to all”, who dreamed of making a difference not only in Iraq, but also in the rest of the world. As a member of our family in Duino for his one and only year at the College, Zaid was a pillar of our community who will continue to miss his friendship and support. Zaid’s praised IT skills were much appreciated by his friends and other fellow students, as he was always generously willing to lend a hand, even to those he hardly knew. He quickly established himself as the “techy” for the students’ cultural and celebratory shows throughout the year. His generosity not only extended into College activities, but also into the daily life of his friends and roommates; always willing to share his food and personal belongings with others, if not to teach them about his culture, then to bring them greater comfort; for they were all away from home too. Following the devastating news, a gathering of remembrance in the College was held in his honour. We would like to renew our deepest sympathies to his family; Zaid will continue to be deeply missed by all who knew him. - The International Patrons Lord Richard Attenborough Antonin Besse Shelby MC Davis Lu Pat Ng (1993-2011) W. Galen Weston The Patron of the UWC National Committee in Italy is: - The President of the Italian Republic Giorgio Napolitano The Annual Fund Challenge Committee: To commemorate Zaid, our students decided to establish a football competition in his memory. The Annual Fund Challenge Committee is a group of leaders who, together, challenged other UWC Adriatic alumni to increase their annual gifts to support College operations and strengthen the school to fulfill its mission for generations to come. For the 2011-12 Annual Fund Campaign, the pioneer Annual Fund Challenge Committee members were: Giuliano Giovannetti (Italy, UWC Adriatic 1984-86) Pål Ristvedt (Norway, UWC Adriatic 1986-88) Patrick Corso (Italy, UWC Adriatic 1989-91) Marco Silvestri (Italy, UWC Adriatic 1996-98) Fundraising College Service Team “I am almost crying as I write this. In fact today is the most I have cried since my grandpa died; I don’t think any of the friends I am currently with even know how much I have cried. Not through fault of their own, but because I am so bad expressing my feelings. I do not know how to gain the confidence to adequately do so. So I suppose that’s why I want to write this tribute, memorial, eulogy, to show my pain at losing such a special person [...] Zaid was my roommate for a whole academic year. Living up to twenty four hours a day, seven days a week, sleeping, working, messing around in the same proximity, you get to know someone pretty well. You get to see the worst, and most importantly the best, of anyone. Zaid was one of the most stubborn people I knew [...] Before his shocking death, we were at times planning my visit to his house in Erbil, Iraqi Kurdistan, and I was constantly overwhelmed, in the most positive of ways, by all the things he wanted to show me. These included an eight-day tour of the region, about which he would not hear of me wanting to pay for, even contribute towards. That can only be testimony to a wonderful family, and an immense heart of his. Rest in peace, Zaid.” Robin Tyne (United Kingdom, UWC Adriatic 2010-12) The “Zaid Khasro Memorial Annual Trophy”: T o further honour the memory of Zaid, on Sunday the 25 March 2012 our students organised a memorial football competition in his name. Remembered fondly as an enthusiastic football player, Zaid would never miss an opportunity to join a match; what better way then to remember him. Over 45 students and teachers gathered at a local football ground to play the game Zaid loved, consisting of eight participating teams of five players with at least one girl. Each intense 20-minute match was played with excitement, enthusiasm and with great display of ball skills and sportsmanship. In the end, the competition was a close one, the final match being played between the Blue Team and Team Price; a thrilling final saw the Blue Team take home the “Zaid Khasro Annual Trophy” for the first competition of what promises to be a yearly tradition for the College in lasting memory of Zaid. The participation of the teams, the audience’s support and, of course, the effort of those who made the event possible were greatly appreciated. The Fundraising College Service Team 2011-2012 During the 2011-2012 academic year, our Development and Communications Office for the 2nd year had a group of current students to help with the Annual Fund campaign. Their activities were focused on phoning alumni and exchanging views on their respective experiences, inviting them to join the Annual Reunion, illustrating current projects and activities taking place at the College, and also speaking about how they can help the college financially by contributing towards the Annual Fund. A new team will continue their excellent work in 2012-2013. 6 www.uwcad.it UWC ADRIATIC, Collegio del Mondo Unito dell’Adriatico O.N.L.U.S. UWC Adriatic, ANNUAL REPORT 2011-2012 [email protected] 7 2011-2012 Academic Year 2011-2012 Academic Year 30 th Opening Ceremony Students from 87 countries O n 12 December 2011, authorities and guests were welcomed to the auditorium by an expanse of colourful flags and smiling faces, celebrating the Opening Ceremony of UWC Adriatic’s 30th Academic Year in Duino. This Opening Ceremony was of particular importance as it was the last one with Prof. Peter Howe as Rettore of UWC Adriatic. The Ceremony befittingly began with a performance by the students in their national costumes; the traditional “flag parade” displaying the 87 countries which these 187 students would represent over the coming year at the College. Peter Howe’s last address to the audience as the UWC Adriatic Rettore was to be the climax of the ceremony: as a sign of gratitude for his dedication and passion for the College, as both teacher and Rettore, Peter Howe received gifts from the Friuli Venezia Giulia Regional Minister of Education, Dr. Roberto Molinaro, and the President of UWC Adriatic, Amb. Gianfranco Facco Bonetti. The Ceremony closed as Peter and his wife Sally were presented with two mountain bikes as a leaving gift from the entire UWC Adriatic Community. Peter has since moved to the Netherlands, where he is now Headmaster of UWC Maastricht. The College wishes Peter and his family all the best, and is very grateful for everything he has done during his time here in Duino. “Without a doubt, working at UWC Adriatic has been one of the highlights of my life. [...] A special thanks to my good friends and mentors Amb. Gianfranco Facco Bonetti for his unwavering belief in me from day one of working together and Ragioniere Giorgio Pontoni whose wise counsel on life and work I will always cherish. To my colleagues – staff and teachers alike – I’m afraid I don’t really have the words to capture my debt to you all. Your support, generosity and willingness to do what needs to be done are exceptional and will never be forgotten. We have been through a lot together. And finally a special thank you to you dear students. Your energy, enthusiasm and idealism are the life-blood of this place. Particularly when they are tempered with a dash of humility, a positive regard for others (even when you don’t always see eye to eye) and the knowledge that your journey of self-discovery and learning will never be complete (and reminding the adults of the community by your example that the same is true for us as well). This is a very special place and it has been my and my family’s great privilege to have lived and worked here. I hope you will all feel the same way too when it is your time to leave. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.” Prof. Peter T. Howe - exctract from his last speech as Rettore of UWC Adriatic Dr. Molinaro (right) presents a farewell gift to Prof. Peter Howe (middle) 8 www.uwcad.it UWC ADRIATIC, Collegio del Mondo Unito dell’Adriatico O.N.L.U.S. UWC Adriatic, ANNUAL REPORT 2011-2012 [email protected] 9 2011-2012 Academic Year 2011-2012 Academic Year The search for our new Rettore Peace One Day 2011 E very year, on 21 September, the United Nations promotes and celebrates the “International Day of Peace and Ceasefire”. This year, UWC Adriatic chose to commemorate the occasion in a very special way: students, teachers and staff organised and participated in a wide range of activities to analyse, discuss and explore their own perceptions of Peace. A College Assembly took the place of usual morning classes followed by an INA Conference held by Elizabeth Rehn, the former Minister of Defence and Equity Affairs in the Finnish Government (1990 – 1995). Subsequently, students, teachers and staff were invited to attend workshops to further debate the idea of Peace. “T his academic year started with a new challenge for the entire UWC Adriatic community: the selection of a new Rettore, following Peter Howe’s departure for the Headship of UWC Maastricht. The selection process started last summer with the nomination of a Search Committee consisting of: Amb. Gianfranco Facco Bonetti, (President of UWC Adriatic); Dott.ssa Patrizia Pavatti, (Director of Education, University, Research of the Autonomus Region of Friuli Venezia Giulia, designated by the Regional Authorities); Prof. Derek Blackman, (member of the Council of Administration of our College and former Vice-Chair of the UWC International Board. Derek has lifelong experience in the UWC movement and has been involved, lately, in the appointment of Heads of various UWC Colleges); Prof. Henry Thomas, (Head of World Arts and Cultures, UWC Adriatic faculty senior member); Dott.ssa Valentina Bach, UWC Adriatic alumna (1989-91) and our current Director of Development and Communications. The committee, which represented key constituencies both within and outside the College community was assisted from the outset by the professional recruitment consultancy Heidrick & 10 www.uwcad.it Struggles. The decision to establish a search committee and engage H&S was taken to ensure the integrity and transparency of the Rettore selection process. With their long experience of international recruitment H & S organised the world-wide advertising for the post, the receipt and the processing of all the applications and supported the Search Committee in short-listing candidates. At the Search Committee’s third meeting a final schedule was agreed, with the application deadline of 31 October and final interviews to be held by the end of February 2012. A total of 58 applications was received from which emerged a short list of eight candidates who were interviewed via video link during January. In February, the four finalists were invited with their spouses to Duino for formal meetings with all the major College constituents - teachers, students and administrative staff – who all had the opportunity to ask questions and evaluate the candidate’s views and approach to living and working at the college. These groups all communicated their views to the Search committee who found them invaluable when they conducted formal one hour and half long interviews with each candidate. At the end of this thorough process, the Search Committee unanimously recommended Dr. Michael Price, current Acting Head, for the position of Rettore at UWC Adriatic. With a BSc and PhD in Zoology from the University of Leeds, Mike began his career teaching Biology in various schools in England before becoming Head of Science at the British International School in Jakarta. He then worked in Buenos Aires and at the UWC of South East Asia where he was Principal of the High School and Deputy Head of College. During the series of interviews and presentations that each candidate made, Mike scored very highly in all of the key areas of educational leadership, human leadership, technical/managerial leadership, cultural leadership and symbolic leadership. His commitment and ideas impressed all members of the Committee as well as the UWC Adriatic constituencies. The UWC Adriatic community is now working with Mike to ensure a successful future for our College and the mission it promotes. I am sure you will join me and all the College Community in wishing Mike great success in his Rettoreship” . Amb. Gianfranco Facco Bonetti President of UWC Adriatic UWC ADRIATIC, Collegio del Mondo Unito dell’Adriatico O.N.L.U.S. During the afternoon, the UWC Adriatic Community moved to the Piazza della Borsa in Trieste. With the support of the Municipality of Trieste, the students organised and performed “Believe in Peace”: a show of dancing, singing and acting interspersed with testimonies of students originating from regions of conflict, which constituted some of the most moving moments of the production. To close the show, the audience joined the performers for a small “Peace March” from Piazza della Borsa to Piazza Unità d’Italia, followed by a minute of silence. “Peace One Day” concluded with a particularly meaningful act: 200 roses were thrown into the sea in front of Piazza Unità d’Italia, as a gesture by our students in order to remember those who attempted to escape from conflict but lost their lives in the Mediterranean Sea. IPC Alpine Skiing World Cup in Udine O n 16 January 2012, a group of 18 students and staff attended the Opening Ceremony of the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) Skiing World Cup in Udine. Accompanied by their national flags, the students gave a feeling of home support for the courageous disabled skiers competing for their country. We very much appreciate the efforts of Rimma Rapoporte for organising and coordinating the trip and making such an event possible. UWC Adriatic, ANNUAL REPORT 2011-2012 [email protected] 11 2011-2012 Academic Year 2011-2012 Academic Year Universities Fair 2011 Our first solar panels F ceremony was held to celebrate the installation of the College’s first set of photovoltaic cell solar panels, opened with an introduction by the former Rettore Peter Howe. Further into the ceremony, UWC Adriatic’s sustainability group gave the assembled college a short presentation on the scale of this achievement, highlighting it as an institutional breakthrough for sustainable living at the College, as they detailed the amount of electricity the panels were expected to generate. In conjunction, a video was used to explain how the panels worked, later contrasted with a light-hearted sketch by the students to demonstrate the process of photons transforming into electrons. At the end of the presentation, the whole UWC Adriatic community headed down to the Lucchese Residence where President, Amb. Gianfranco Facco Bonetti, and Rettore, Peter Howe cut the inaugural ribbon. or the third year running, UWC Adriatic hosted a “Universities and Colleges Tour”, organised by David Fredrick as part of a programme of visits, also involving the UWC campuses of Atlantic, Nordic, Maastricht and Mostar. The Dean of University College Maastricht described our college as “a favourite stop” for the delegates who during the ‘tour’ represented 10 US, one Canadian and one European university. After a short introduction to the 2nd year students, the delegates set up a ‘fair’ enabling them to answer students’ questions relating to the various institutions and their application processes. The following institutions were represented: Agnes Scott; Bennington College; College of the Atlantic; Gettysburg College; Luther College; Methodist University; Princeton University; Quest University; Ringling College of Art & Design; St. Olaf College; University College Maastricht; Wartburg College; Westminster-MO These are not the only university visits to UWC Adriatic this year.

A Project Week 2012 E What’s next for the Generation 2010-12? Below is a list of colleges and universities that graduates from UWC Adriatic Class of 2012 will attend. 14 students chose to take a gap year before their post-secondary education and some are required to do national service before attending university. American University of Beirut Amherst College Bennington College Brown University (2) Bucknell University Cambridge University College of the Atlantic Colorado College (2) Columbia University Conservatorio di Musica “G. Tartini” Trieste Corvinus University of Budapest Earlham College IE Business School Imperial College London (2) Jacobs University Bremen Kenyon College King’s College London 12 www.uwcad.it Lewis and Clark College London School of Economics (LSE) Luther College (2) Macalester College (3) Methodist University (2) Mount Allison University Mount Holyoke College Northwestern University Pomona College Ringling College of Art and Design (2) Sciences Po Menton (2) Skidmore College (2) Univeristy College Maastricht Universita’ degli Studi di Udine University College London (UCL) (2) University of Aberdeen University of Bologna University of Cambridge (3) University of Edinburgh (2) University of Florida University of Glasgow University of Latvia University of Ljubljana University of London, Queen Mary’s College (2) University of Oklahoma University of St Andrews University of Warwick University of Zagreb Wartburg College Westminster College (2) Williams College Yale University (2) UWC ADRIATIC, Collegio del Mondo Unito dell’Adriatico O.N.L.U.S. very college of the UWC movement requires their students to organise, plan and carry out a ‘project week’. Project week is an extension to the community service activities that all our students partake in on a weekly basis, but the full week gives them the opportunity to research and plan a more personal project of their choice locally, nationally or internationally. Although it is not strictly necessary to include a service during their week away, they must carry out at least two types of activities that correspond to the CAS requirements of the IB: Creativity, Action and Service. This year, project week took place from 3 to 7 March; some of our students travelled across Italy, others flew to the UK, France, Switzerland and Germany, whilst another group chose Romania. In Italy, the projects covered a diverse range of activities; volunteering in Rome’s soup kitchens, a cultural exploration of the different views of Italy’s northerners UWC Adriatic, ANNUAL REPORT 2011-2012 and southerners in Sicily, performances by our College’s musicians to a Sicilian public, interaction with the local community of Matera in southern Italy and animal and environmental voluntary work on the Sardinian coast. A more action-based project week took place in France; cross-country skiing in the Jura Mountains, ending with a visit to the International Olympic Committee in Lausanne in Switzerland. A contrastingly cultural visit to Paris was made by another group of students, whose aim was to promote the College whilst visiting the city’s most popular places. The project week group in Munich had the chance to learn more about the Holocaust as well as German culture through their hosts, a Munich family of musicians. Students in the UK explored Newcastle, guided by one of their native co-years; they focused on children’s rights in the region, as well as promoting the UWC ethos in secondary schools. The Romanian project week was a delight for travel and culture lovers, as students took the opportunity to observe the language and people whilst discovering four of the country’s most beautiful cities. Project week is consistently described as one of the highlights of our students’ time at the College, as it is an opportunity of a lifetime for many African, American and Asian students to discover the diversity of Europe. It is also regularly cited by our alumni as a fundamental part of their educational experience. [email protected] 13 2011-2012 Academic Year Discovering “made in Friuli Venezia Giulia” E very year our students take part in the programme <Discovering “made in Friuli Venezia Giulia”> designed to introduce our students to Italy’s unique heritage in terms of the Region’s excellent businesses and industries. Last year, students visited the Calligaris premises, one of the leading Italian home furnishing companies, and Illycafè. This year however, students also had the chance to visit both the Fincantieri shipyard in Monfalcone and the Wärtsilä marine diesel engine factory in Trieste. The visit to the Fincantieri shipyard gave the students the opportunity to attend the launching of the “Carnival Breeze”, the new flagship of the Carnival fleet. In March 2012, our economics class visited the Wärtsilä factory, where a detailed presentation was given by alumna Erika Suerz (Italy, UWC Adriatic 1996 – 98), now Wärtsilä’s Learning and Development Manager, introducing the students to the corporate dimension of the factory. As a global leader in complete lifecycle power solutions for marine and energy markets, the huge company provoked much interest amongst the students during the Q&A session, followed by a tour of the factory’s production sites. Thanks to the success of these visits the College will continue to extend the programme to involve other centres of excellence in our Region. 2011-2012 Academic Year MARIA BASHIR - Law as a tool to bring change in Afghanistan O n Friday 15 June 2012, in collaboration with the Tegreste section of BPW (Business and Professional Women) - Italy and the Autonomous Region of Friuli Venezia Giulia, we organized a highly sought-after and very successful conference with Maria Bashir. Maria Bashir has been the only woman to be Chief Prosecutor General in Afghanistan since 2006, specifically in the Herat Province. With more than 15 years of experience in using legal means in fighting to defend women’s civil rights during and after the Taliban domination in the country, her speech conveyed her strong will, her passion for her job (or better mission), her determination to change women’s and children’s rights, and her prospects for the future of the country. Her charisma captivated the hearts and minds of all the participants attending the event, which was held in the prestigious Main Hall of the Friuli Venezia Giulia Region building, overlooking the central Piazza Unità on the sea front in Trieste. The topic of the meeting was “Law as a tool to bring change in Afghanistan” and was widely attended by the local civil and military authorities, as well as by BPW members, lawyers, and private citizens, resulting in a full house. The event was followed by many journalists and received significant coverage in the local media. Dr. Alessandro Profumo meets UWC Adriatic Students A journey through personal history and economic considerations; this is how Alessandro Profumo’s meeting with over 180 students at UWC Adriatic can be summed up. In front of a young and multicultural audience of students aged 16 to 18, from over 80 countries, Dr. Profumo, President of the “Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena” and former president of “Unicredit”, made a clear analysis of the current economic situation in Europe with elements of autobiographical memories. Speaking of the “Dangers and Opportunities in the Current Financial Situation” he brought students and teachers to reflect on the current world economic situation and lead a lively debate on today’s and tomorrow’s socio-economic situation. Visit of the Italian Minister of the Environment O n 10 March 2012, Mr. Corrado Clini, Italian Minister for the Environment, visited the College and participated in a Conference held in the College Auditorium organised by the Mayor of Duino-Aurisina to present two projects of environmental restoration in Duino, funded by the Ministry. Valentina Bach, our Director of Development and Communications welcomed the Minister and the guests with a brief resumé of our College, its history and its initiatives. Immediately after her speech, two of our students: Onur Unal (2010-12 from Turkey) and Alaa “Lulu” Badr (2010-12 from Egypt) greeted the authorities on behalf of the 187 current 14 www.uwcad.it UWC ADRIATIC, Collegio del Mondo Unito dell’Adriatico O.N.L.U.S. UWC Adriatic, ANNUAL REPORT 2011-2012 students at the College and spoke about their life-changing experiences here in Duino. During his speech, Mr. Corrado Clini thanked UWC Adriatic for having agreed to host the Conference and remarked how special the village of Duino is, as a cultural crossroad of Italian, Slovene and Austrian heritage highlighted by the values of UWC Adriatic. At the end of the Conference, Onur and Lulu asked the Minister to sign and leave a comment in the College Guest Book, inaugurated by H.R.H. the Prince of Wales. “Sustainable, Nice, Exciting...” were Mr. Clini comments (see picture in centre) [email protected] 15 2011-2012 Academic Year 2011-2012 Academic Year Closing Ceremony 2012 Graduation Class of 2012 It is our great pleasure and honour to present the UWC Adriatic Class of 2012 O n 23 May 2012, 89 students from 64 countries graduated in front of an audience of more than 400 people: the 30th UWC Adriatic Closing Ceremony honoured the College’s “secondi” (our second year students) in a commemoration of their achievement in completing their IB Diploma. The Ceremony was a celebration, although at times tinged with the sadness of farewells and our loss during the year, as the graduating students commence their new lives across the globe. The UWC Adriatic Class of 2012 was treated to a ceremony of musical performances, awards and speeches on Foresteria Lawn, given by the Rettore, Dr. Michael Price, the President of UWC Adriatic, Amb. Gianfranco Facco Bonetti and a special contribution by Joseph Samucha, current student at the College. As Mike’s first Closing Ceremony as Rettore, during his speech he thanked the UWC Adriatic Community as well as the Region and sponsors for their continuing support ensuring the survival and existence of the College. Key events of the last academic year were also mentioned: the tragic loss of 16 www.uwcad.it a student, Zaid Khasro in the summer of 2011 and his memorial football competition in March; the creation of the College’s Jazz Band by talented musicians of the College and finally the Rilke Poetry Evening held at the Castle in April: a showcase of our most gifted readers and musicians. The President’s inspirational address followed, emphasizing Kurt Hahn’s original mission as the founder of the UWC movement. He also made special mention and gave thanks to the College’s former Rettore, Peter Howe, who was also present for the Ceremony, as well as highlighting UWC Adriatic’s need for the ongoing support of alumni, including the 2012 Class. The President also thanked Prof. Henry Thomas, who retired at the end of the year, for his contribution to the College over the years as developer of the World Arts and Cultures course for the IB. Several awards were also presented during the ceremony: the “Fondazione CRTrieste Prize for the promotion of the Italian language in the world” was awarded to Roberto Drilea (Romania), Francisco Diaz (Uruguay), Lucie Rehakova (Czech Republic), Maja Sipek (Slovenia) and Nancy Jiang (Singapore) as a special recognition of the efforts and dedication of these non-native Italian students who have distinguished themselves in the language during their time at the College. Other prizes included the “Maurizio Esposito” Photography Award, presented by Prof. Angelo Friolo and Max Paoli and ‘The Harvard Club Book Prize’ presented by Dr. Michael Price on behalf of Mary Myers. Following an interlude by the UWC Adriatic Singers, Joseph Samucha, a continuing student of the College addressed the recent graduates, recalling his first year in Duino and the important role the “secondi” played to him and his fellow first years embarking their IB. His address was testament to the strong bond connecting all our students no matter what their age, life experiences or nationality; perhaps just one of the many goals of a UWC education. UWC Adriatic would like to wish the Class of 2012 all the best in whatever they choose to do.

In his introduction, Peter highlighted the significant importance of this award, amounting to 400 euro per person, conferred to students from particularly difficult backgrounds and who do not have sufficient economic means to cover even their own minimal personal requirements. Thanks to this contribution, the prize-recipients can improve their quality of life for their two years in Duino. In addressing the students, Dott. Pianciamore underlined the fact that the importance of the award is not the direct economic benefit but lies in the message it wishes to convey: that the world is not just bad news, but also kindness. Dott. Pianciamore concluded by saying he hoped the prize would be an inspiration for other similar acts of generosity. eanche la pioggia è riuscita a rovinare la magica atmosfera che si respirava alla Cerimonia di Chiusura del XXX° A.A. del Collegio del Mondo Unito dell’Adriatico di Duino; durante la quale è stato consegnato il “Premio Fondazione CRTrieste per la diffusione della lingua italiana nel mondo” . Il Premio, giunto quest’anno alla sua quinta edizione, è stato istituito per volontà e con il contributo della Fondazione CRTrieste per premiare quegli studenti, di madrelingua non italiana, che nel corso dei due anni di studi al Collegio del Mondo Unito dell’Adriatico, meglio si sono distinti nell’apprendimento della lingua Italiana. Un rappresentante della Fondazione CRTrieste ha premiato i vincitori di quest’anno : ven the rain could not spoil the atmosphere at the Closing Ceremony for our 30th Academic Year, during which the “Fondazione CRTrieste Prize for the promotion of the Italian language in the world” was awarded. Now in its 5th edition, the prize was instituted by Fondazione CRTrieste to recognise non-native speakers of Italian who, during their two years at UWC Adriatic showed the best results in learning this language. A representative from Fondazione CRTrieste awarded the prize to this year’s winners: Roberto Drilea (Romania); Francisco Diaz (Uruguay); Lucie Rehakova (Repubblica Ceca); Maja Sipek (Slovenia); Nancy Jiang (Singapore) Roberto Drilea (Romania); Francisco Diaz (Uruguay); Lucie Rehakova (Czech Republic) Maja Sipek (Slovenia); Nancy Jiang (Singapore) Il premio rappresenta un importante riconoscimento dell’impegno e della dedizione con i quali gli oltre 170 studenti non italiani del Collegio del Mondo Unito dell’Adriatico si dedicano ogni anno allo studio della lingua italiana. The prize recognises the effort and dedication that the over 170 non-Italian students at UWC Adriatic apply to learning Italian each year. 12 Netbook donations to UWC Adriatic students D uring the third year of her ‘Netbook Project’ for our College, Mary Myers has personally donated seven laptop computers (‘netbooks’) to seven of our students. The netbooks were awarded to the students during a ceremony following the Winter break. Mary’s campaign for our College’s ‘Netbook Project’ was launched in 2009 with the help and support of the Harvard Club of Italy, of which she is a member, being a Harvard graduate herself (1990). Candidates to receive a netbook are those whose financial backgrounds would otherwise prevent them from having access to a laptop computer. The project was born out of the Havard Club of Italy’s mission to promote and recognize academic excellence at secondary school level in Italy. Dr. Aldo Pianciamore (centre, back row) with UWC Adriatic Rettore and this year’s award recipients. UWC Adriatic welcomes five Institutions among its recent donors The College would like to thank Mary for her continued support in this project, which over three years has provided 20 students with access to a laptop computer who would otherwise have gone without.

Thank you.” Lucilla Maria Bruni (Italy, UWC Adriatic 1999-01) & Espen Beer Prydz (Norway, UWC Adriatic 1999-01) Amanda and Chris’ s celebration gift K ““We are excited to celebrate our union and 13 years of partnership this August in Donsö, Sweden. Having met on the cliffs overlooking the Adriatic in 1999 and having each enjoyed two unforgettable years in Duino and the remarkable institution that is the United World College of the Adriatic, we couldn’t think of a better gift than to help give a new generation the wonderful experience we were so very fortunate to receive. Thank you for your generosity and for supporting this outstanding organization”” aren Morris (Hong Kong, UWC Adriatic 1987-89) and Johannes Natterer (Germany, UWC Adriatic 1987-89) arrived like many other teenagers at UWC Adriatic in the autumn of 1987, full of expectations and pride that comes with being selected to represent one’s country. What they perhaps did not expect to find was love during their time together at the college and love lost when they returned to their home countries following graduation to pursue their respective studies and careers. But as with the many seeds that were planted during the two years of the UWC Adriatic experience, the seeds of love came back. After many years apart, the two chanced to meet again and realized that their bond remained as strong as ever and deserved and demanded a future together. Their shared love of Italy led to the selection of the wedding location at Florentine vineyard Il Borro that Karen (known internationally as Karen Mok) had discovered through a photo shoot for the fashion company Ferragamo. Former classmates, friends and family joined the couple under the Tuscan sun to celebrate their nuptials on 1 October 2011 in the chapel of the vineyard. UWC Adriatic is honoured that Karen and Johannes requested that donations to the College be made in lieu of wedding gifts in recognition of the profound impact their time at UWC Adriatic had on their lives. Our sincere thanks to them and their 32 guests who took up the invitation and donated a total of € 26.887,60 – sufficient to provide more than one full scholarship to a future student for one year! While we cannot guarantee such fairytale endings in the future to our students, we have no doubt that love and learning go hand in hand in realizing our mission to make education a force to unite peoples, nations and cultures for peace and a sustainable future. 20 www.uwcad.it UWC ADRIATIC, Collegio del Mondo Unito dell’Adriatico O.N.L.U.S. €1,475.00 raised Amanda Bergstrom (Sweden, UWC Adriatic 1998-00) & Christopher Bergstrom (USA, UWC Adriatic 1999-01) Gift from the Lions Club Duino Aurisina O n 13 June 2012, The Lions Club Duino Aurisina organised its annual Charity Show.

Every donation of € 1,000 or more received from UWC Adriatic Alumni would be doubled in value thanks to the matching committment of the Annual Fund Committee. Gift matching is a powerful way to engage alumni in a collective effort to enhance the College’s fundraising efforts. For the first time in our 30-year history, a group of four UWC Adriatic Alumni joined forces to challenge the rest of the alumni community in a gift-matching fundraising operation for the College. Thanks to the personal commitment of the Annual Fund Challenge Committee, 25 alumni (and partners) accepted the challenge in an overall achievement of 69,000 Euro! THE ANNUAL FUND CHALLENGE COMMITTEE The Annual Fund Challenge Committee is a group of leaders who, together, challenged other UWC Adriatic alumni to increase their annual gifts to support College operations and strengthen the school to fulfill its mission for generations to come. For the 2011-12 Annual Fund Campaign, the pioneer Annual Fund Challenge Committee members were: Giuliano Giovannetti (Italy, UWC Adriatic 1984-86) Pål Ristvedt (Norway, UWC Adriatic 1986-88) Patrick Corso (Italy, UWC Adriatic 1989-91) Marco Silvestri (Italy, UWC Adriatic 1996-98) Mohamed Abdallah 1983-85 Delpha Ho 1985-87 Rasmus Michau 1992-94 Sunita Agarwal Rana 1983-85 Massimo Iengo 1985-87 Erik Mielke 1989-91 Jan Blum 1986-88 Valentina Kastlunger 1987-89 Jimmy Ng 1993-95 Susan Cook-Abdallah 1986-88 Jarmila Kucharicova 1991-93 Brenda Pagannone 1996-98 Pedro d’Avillez 1989-91 Rupesh Pradhan 1989-91 Shubadeep Debgupta 1989-91 KokMIng Lee 1990-92 Stanislava Dratvova Roszyk 1998-00 Adriana Lopez Vermut 1994-96 Mario Riello 1988-90 Giulio Federico 1990-92 Piero Marigo 1988-90 Amy 1982-84 & Tim Rowe Angela Ho 1996-98 David Matern 1992-94 Zoran Slanic 1987-89 & Christoph Keller & Archana Bhandari UWC Adriatic alumni are indicated by their generation (ex. 1982-84) | (p) : identifies UWC Adriatic alumni parents | (e) : identifies UWC Adriatic current and past employees | ((ia) : identifies donors of the Italian UWC Alumni Network Cultural interchange is at the heart of College life in Duino 28 www.uwcad.it UWC ADRIATIC, Collegio del Mondo Unito dell’Adriatico O.N.L.U.S. UWC Adriatic, ANNUAL REPORT 2011-2012 [email protected] 29 Our Donors Our Donors The Italian Challenge 2011-12 The Italian Challenge 2011-12 T his past year, together with the Annual Fund Campaign and the Alumni Challenge, our Development Office also followed another important Campaign: the Italian Challenge 2011-2012, a campaign launched in collaboration with the Network of Italian UWC alumni Thanks to the matching commitment of a generous Italian alumnus, we were able to raise 45,800 € for the first Scholarship totally financed by Italian Alumni. The campaign was met with enthusiasm and was a great success and allowed Benedetto to join the UWC Community. Performing art as a means to share the UWC mission and values with the local community Si chiama Benedetto Zurlo e viene dalla Puglia lo studente assegnatario della prima borsa di studio interamente raccolta grazie alla Grande Sfida promossa dall’Associazione Italiana Ex Studenti assieme al Collegio del Mondo Unito dell’Adriatico e resa possibile anche grazie alla generosità di un ex studente italiano che ha raddoppiato le donazioni. Nella sua lettera di motivazione Benedetto ha raccontato come essere ammesso ad un Collegio del Mondo Unito per lui significhi: “Tuffarsi nell’Altro. Non già per esplorare le differenze, ma per scoprire le similitudini....e con queste e quelle costruire qualcosa di nuovo....mio, tuo, suo ma di cui nessuno sia davvero possessore.” Benedetto è il secondo classificato su più di 600 candidati (la prima in graduatoria aveva già una borsa di studio riservata, in quanto residente in provincia di Udine). Il nostro sincero ringraziamento va ai 131 donatori e all’ex studente italiano che ha raddopiato le loro donazioni!! Grazie a loro sono stati raccolti 45,800 € che permetteranno a Benedetto di entrare a far parte del movimento UWC, ma non è tutto. Le donazioni superano di 5,800€ il costo effettivo della borsa di studio biennale. Questi fondi rappresenteranno il punto di partenza per la campagna del prossimo anno che ci auguriamo possa raggiungere l’obbiettivo di portare a 2 le borse di studio finanziate dagli ex studenti italiani.

The objective was to use their reunion as a starting point to set up recurrent/monthly affordable donations and set the example for more ex-students to join in and thereby boost the percentage of regular alumni donors. So far, 31 alumni from the 2000-02 generation (with the support of some of their primi or secondi who also came to the reunion) have joined this recurring donation campaign. A further 13 opted for a single donation as their Reunion Gift. Following the 2012 Reunion, a group of alumni from the 1990-92 Generation are promoting a scheme to give back to future generations. The objective is for the ‘92 Duino Society to donate 21,500 Euro every year to fund a student at the college, starting in September 2012. The 90-92 generation will share this objective with their first years (91-93 generation) who have agreed to join in to commemorate their 20th graduation anniversary which will take place in June 2013. The members of the society are UWC Adriatic Alumni of the 1990-92 generation who decide to contribute to the Annual Fund following one of these options : 1) Euro 1,000 annual 2) Euro 500 annual 3) Two people donating Euro 250 annual each, as a joint contribution. There have been many successful fundraising initiatives that have arisen from reunions in the past and this one is a step forward in providing structured and sustained support for the College over time. In announcing their scheme, the 1990-92 generation expressed their intention for this scholarship drive to be an inspiration for other generations to follow, so as to create a consolidated network of alumni giving.
