Established in 1995, UWC Red Cross Nordic College (UWC RCN) is situated in Flekke, Norway. Proudly operating as a Foundation, the college is sustained by the collective contributions of all Nordic countries, with the Red Cross in Norway and Sogn & Fjordane standing as key founders. Embracing UWC’s commitment to humanitarian principles, students at UWC RCN actively pursue a Red Cross diploma, embodying our dedication to fostering global understanding and service.
Three Unique Features
- Nordic: Public funding from the Nordic countries enables the college to undertake selection based entirely on merit and potential, creating a learning environment where diversity is truly experienced as a value for all.
- Humanitarian: The Norwegian Red Cross is one of the founders of the college. In the extra academic programme, all students take an extensive Red Cross diploma, providing knowledge of the humanitarian principles of the organisation and the practical skills associated with them. The College shares the campus and cooperates with the Red Cross Haugland Rehabilitation Centre, which also gives students access to their training facilities.
- Environmental: The college emphasises awareness of themes related to sustainability in several subjects and has an action component linked to it in several extra academic groups, including cooperation with the region. The certification for Environmental Lighthouse is undertaken with a yearly report.
