Tove Veierød
Chair
At the end of 2011 we saw one of the
founding members of the College
leaving. Anna Garner has been Deputy
for the Rektor since 1995, with the
one exception of the year she was
acting as Rektor herself. This made
Anna historic in UWC, becoming the
first female Head of College. Anna has
been heading the team of teachers
with creativity and care. Throughout,
she has continued to teach her classes
in Environmental Systems. Many students will look back at Anna’s efforts
to engage with them, always choosing dialogue rather than instruction.
These qualities have also been at the
forefront in her engagement towards
the Student Council, where she has
been the staff contact
Anna has been heading a team of
dedicated teachers for 15 years. To be
able to undertake a holistic education, we need people who can convey
academic knowledge, inspire in the
CAS program and be a source of mature guidance for the students. UWC
takes pride in letting students grow by
taking responsibility. For this to happen you need responsible adults at a
close distance; professionals who have
sound judgment in when to step in for
support, and when to allow for a free
flow. At times our students may lose
sight of how much dedication it takes
from teachers to make this possible.
Always the guide on the side - rather
than the sage on the stage – Anna
has typified the kind of professional
commitment that has enabled this
College to renew itself year after year
since 1995.
When I first visited the UWC Red
Cross Nordic during a Global Concern
day with focus on the Nordic Welfare Model, I was taken by the share
enthusiasm and vigor of this place.
I came to workshops by students
and for students. And how well they
were carried out! When we have the
privilege of gathering 200 resourceful
young people from all over the world,
the task is about creating a framework
where each and every one can get the
best out of themselves, to grow and to
learn. It is with great anticipation that
I have taken on the task of being the
Chair of UWC Red Cross Nordic. Making education a force to unite people
is no small ambition. People like Anna
allow this to happen by working
hands on - and by giving others room
to maneuver - in this wonderful little
world at the edges of the Flekke fjord.

Reflections on 10 years in the Wild West
John Lawrenson
Rektor
As the time for our retirement
approaches, Nicky and I are
beginning to feel like the second
years do when “Graduation” and
“Buses Depart” loom large in
the calendar. Those who have
doubts about the impact of UWC
on students need to be here on
departure day or ten years later at
the first reunion. These are times
when emotions and reflection fill
the clean fresh Norwegian air - and
our minds. Our thirty-four years
at UWC provide memories of joy
from times that have passed, and
remembered sadness at the leaving
of the second years from another
truly unique and vibrant
community.
Leaving is not just a
time for reflections on
the past; it also offers
suggestions
and ideas for
the future,
based on our
experience
and the
anticipated
needs
within UWC
in general
and UWCRCN
especially. In
the spirit of
departing and
reuniting I will
focus on the
commitment
and continuous
engagement
we should seek,
and indeed
expect, from
our UWC
alumni.

In August 2011 we welcomed
graduates from1999 and 2000 to
their reunion. It was potentially
a transformative weekend for the
college. The attendees retained a
fondness and obvious appreciation
for the college and in reflecting
on these years together had
developed a sophisticated and
mature appreciation of the impact
that time had on each of them. We
witnessed a strong desire to give
something back to the college that
gave them so much. In what form,
we wondered, could that be done
voluntarily? By chance the group
included professional fundraisers,
who not only offered their services
but practiced their skills on those
who attended. We were quite
frankly not prepared for this, but
how could we look a gift horse in
the mouth? During the week a
sum of 150,000 NoK was promised
towards the cost of building a
sports area on campus , thus
increasing the local facilities needed
to improve the physical (and hence)
mental fitness of our students.
Friend-raising is as important as
fund-raising, and if our alumni are
not among our closest friends then
we are not fulfilling the college’s
commitment to the UWC strategic
plan (“To utilize UWCRCN graduates
to participate in college initiatives
and extend UWCRCN’s impact”).
Friends should be welcome to
visit and should feel at home with
their hosts. Moreover they should
want to contribute positively to the
quality of the experiences of current
students. There are many ways to
develop this and it is not too late to
raise our commitment to this task
for the mutual benefit of “students
current” and “students past”. An
alumni coordinator on campus is an
essential first step - with the task of
keeping alumni in touch with
​the college and with each other.
A list of potential cooperative
ventures would be long and
varied. The ideas generated would
take us into new territory making
education the dynamic force our
mission expects. A combination
of the younger less experienced
UWC students with the still young
but increasingly experienced
professionals in, for example, the
fields of humanitarian action,
and environmental sustainability
inspired by Nordic values and
style, is a powerful and achievable
ambition. To whet the appetite we
need only think of ongoing work
at the college – DROP (fundraising
for the Ras Selas Diversity School
in Addis Ababa, and other areas of
need such as Pakistan during the
floods and Japan after the Tsunami),
SaFuGe (students spending their
holidays working on projects in
their homelands with the support of
others in Sierra Leone, Guatemala,
Madagascar, Zimbabwe, Nepal and
elsewhere), UWS (building United
World Schools in the Cambodian
forests) and LEAF (a Living
Environment And Future). What
these initiatives have in common
is an attempt to engage students
in the power of collaborative social
entrepreneurship. The approach is
to merge the talents of our younger
students with the growing skill and
expertise of their predecessors.
Catering to different needs
“Nordisk språk” (Nordic language)
Our remarkably diverse student body includes individuals
with varied learning challenges, and teachers take on these
challenges in innovative and time-demanding ways – one
of the richly-rewarding and highly-demanding aspects of
teaching at RCN. Some students warrant considerable individual attention, at least in their initial phase, and we have
benefitted immensely from the efforts of Gianni Colombero.
Gianni came to us as a volunteer and we are recognizing
how such work significantly enhances our capacity to include such students in all aspects of College programmes.
Following I.B. approval and with support from Nordplus,
the “nordisk språk” initiative for first year students began in
August 2011: three mixed classes of Danish-, Norwegianand Swedish-speaking students, each taught by a teacher
of one of the languages with participants speaking and
writing in their own languages. As planned, this course is
indeed promoting awareness of commonalities and intriguing differences among the three languages! In this way
the College wants to become a vehicle for a priority area
for Nordic co-operation – improved understanding of the
neighbor languages.
Examinations
In May 2011 International Baccalaureate Diploma examinations were written in 63 subject-levels, including 43 language levels (i.e., both Higher and Standard Levels. In Group
1 taught languages were examined in Danish, English,
Norwegian, Spanish and Swedish in addition to 26 other
languages in the self-taught school-supported programme.
In Group 2 second language exams were written in English
A2 & B, Beginners Norwegian (Nynorsk), Mandarin ab initio,
Spanish ab initio and Spanish B). 87 candidates gained the
Diploma with an average points score of 34 and average
grade of 5.4 per subject; the average results of 52 of the
63 subject-levels (83%) either equalling or higher than the
world-averages. Of the 45 point possible maximum, ten of
the 98 candidates gained 40 points or more, 38 gained 35
points or more, and 75 gained 30 or more points. Concerning those candidates who did not gain the Diploma qualification, we do not know of any cases where the students
concerned did not gain acceptance to further studies at
university level.
Global Politics
Continued participation by Dr. Narender Dalal in the planning phase of the Global Politics course with colleagues at
the IB’s Curriculum & Assessment Centre (Cardiff, U.K.) to
result in the completion of the syllabus with RCN accepted
to participate in the pilot phase of the course commencing August 2012. This new course comprises elements of
various school-based syllabus courses, including RCN’s successful Human Rights SL SBS course – which it will replace,
with the added benefit of adding an additional Higher Level
option to the range of Group 3 courses offered at RCN.
Groups 1 & 2
The I.B. introduced new language courses in August 2011,
and RCN has adopted Option A Literature for Danish,
Norwegian, Swedish and A-Literature and B for Spanish;
students also enrolled in English A-Literature and Language
& Literature, although there was insufficient interest for the
interdisciplinary Groups 1 & 6 Text & Performance course.
“If you think the young people of
today are the leaders of tomorrow
you are prevaricating”.
All they need is a clear goal and
some specialist support and advice
from the UWCRCN alumni as likeminded mentors and co-workers. I
will not be in a position to be part of
this here in Norway, but I hope the
aspirations can be realized in the
next five years.

In Memory
Anne Ginestier
Died: 30th January 2011
University Counsellor,
housementor, surrogate
mother and friend to all at
UWCRCN.
“Well you know, where
I’m going, I don’t think it’s
going to be very far… Not
that I believe in all that ticky-tacky-wicky-wacky...stuff…But I
just don’t think I’ll be very far.”
Anne died after a determined fight against peritoneal
cancer, a battle that was chronicled in a typically inspiring
and optimistic blog for over nine months. Anne’s influence was, and still is, wide reaching. Her approach to life
was joyful; she set high standards and left a legacy of
love. Students instinctively recognised and responded to
Anne’s warmth and concern for them, whether it was connected with their future or present needs. As a friend she
was wonderfully supportive, loyal and encouraging. She
lifted any proceedings with her radiant personality. She
was ‘fun’ personified.
Her contribution to this college was huge and still
resonates. She is not ‘far away’ and we will remember her
with both gratitude and love.
Mohan Govan
Died: 1st October 2011
Our beloved Mohan Govan passed
away October 1st after a long period
of illness. Since 2006 Mohan had been
House Mentor in Sweden, together with
his wife Summer. They arrived here with
their daughter Maddie in 2005.
Mohan has been a true intellectual on campus. Half his
professional life as a Physicist was spent as a researcher at
CERN, Geneva. Sevenoaks in Great Britain later benefitted
from his gifts as a teacher. For two years he taught Theory
of Knowledge at our College. With deep insight into his
own subject, Mohan is also someone we got to know as
a man with a broad engagement for topics relating to
politics or world religions. He loved over-the-table talks
with students and was a frequent listener and contributor
at debates in the auditorium. Students often found a quiet
companionship sitting beside this wise man in the Library.
Mohan earned our deepest respect as a man of concern
and sincere thoughts, always ready to share. It is hard to
believe that we will not see that gentle smile under the
woolen hat again. We remember Mohan with fondness.

Erling Olsen
Died: 27th June 2011
It is with great sadness we received the news from Denmark
that Erling Olsen has passed
away. Erling has been the Chair
of our Council since the beginning of the College in 1995. This
year was the first time his busy
schedule made it impossible for him to attend our annual
Council in Flekke.
Erling was a dedicated supporter of our school and the
ideals we aspire towards, to make education a force to
unite. Erling was an inspiring ambassador, a person who
always brought warmth to our campus, and a steady hand
whenever it was needed. In Denmark Erling is a highly
esteemed person in public life, both within politics and
academia. He served as Minister of Residences (197882) and Minister of Law (1993-94), before becoming the
Chair of the Parliament (1994-98). Erling is well known as
a teacher and publicist within his subject Economics. In
1970 he became the first Rektor at Roskilde University,
where he received an honorary doctorate in 2010.
The College was honored to be represented at the memorial at Christiansborg on July 4th , where family and colleagues shared warm memories of Erling the way we got
to know him. Erling Olsen will be much missed within the
UWC movement and in his home country Denmark.
Reneilwe Lesenyeho
We are now in the fourth year of
2011-2012 project participants
our Fredskorpset-funded cultural
exchange project between the
college and the Saharawi refugee
camps in south-west Algeria.
We have seen year on year
improvements as the understanding
between the north and south
partners has developed. As our
participants have acknowledged,
the challenges for all participants are very real
– whether for the Saharawis travelling to a busy
college community in the - to them! - frozen
north, or for the Norwegians travelling into the
heat of the desert. Integration is difficult, but
brings many joys and rewards.
From a pedagogical perspective, the Project is
proving to be both valuable and worthwhile. It provides unrepeatable experiences for all participants
which will affect them well beyond the life of the
project and it enables a deeper and wider understanding of cultural diversity and of the refugees
issues which are at the heart of the project.
A few weeks before preparing to travel to Thailand with
running friends and to be a bridesmaid for a best friend,
Reneliwe was killed by a car on 23 December 2011 while
running. Our deepest condolences to her family and friends.

Teaching in the camps
Co-operation with the Confucius Institute in Bergen
In the classroom ...
Died: 23rd Dec 2011
Selected by the Lesotho
UWC committee,
Reneilwe joined RCN
in August 1998 and
graduated with the
Diploma in 2000. After
studying chemical
engineering at the
University of Pretoria, where she also developed a
passion for long-distance running, she began working in
Johannesburg. Reneilwe visited RCN in August 2011 for
her reunion; as a classmate describes, “she had the most
delightful giggle that would bubble up inside her and
erupt as she threw her head back!”
...it happens all the time!
... and in Bergen
This year our Chinese teacher He Ji Qing (Sarah)
has been sent by the Confucius Institute in Bergen. Chinese at our College is made up of several
parts. The most central is the Ab Initio classes
(Chinese for beginners), which expose students
to listening, speaking and reading and starts to
develop writing skills. In the Chinese Activity
(EAC) the main focus is on culture, and it includes
making Chinese food, learning traditional dance
and music as well as getting exposed to practical skills like
paper-cutting and doing complex Chinese knots. During
the last project we were visited by Kung Fu master Gao
Feng in Bergen. By the end of the week our group could
offer a demonstration for fellow students and staff.
With a teacher who is well connected to the Confucius
Institute in Bergen, we have been able to raise the profile
of Chinese at the College and also to take part in some of
their activities and celebrations over the year. As a new
dimension we are now offering a summer course in Beijing,
made possible by Hanban. Through all of these activities
the students not only get a knowledge of language but also
cultivate their interest in learning about Chinese culture in
its widest sense.

Leirskule - Engaging with Children
Get Up, Stand Up!
Our camp school for Norwegian school children,
leirskule in Norwegian, has continued to give
generations of UWCRCN students the opportunity
to meet with Norwegian children through teaching
outdoor activities. The RCN students learn to teach
and activate the children, while the children meet the
international community that is such a special feature
of the College.
2011 has been a year to develop the relationships
with our partners. The ties with the British Red Cross,
through a EU funded
volunteer program,
have been strengthened. We host one or
two volunteers who work mainly with the leirskule: this
year Ashley Williams (Wales) and David Bell (Scotland)
have taken up these positions, with great enthusiasm.
We have also worked closely with The Norwegian Camp
School Association - NLF - to help secure government
funding for all children to attend camp school. Some
municipalities have tight budgets, and one possible cut is
leirskule visits. NLF is working towards making leirskule a
mandatory part of public education in Norway.
At the moment we are greatly looking forward to the
2012 leirskule season, working with a new generation
of UWCRCN students and many excited children from
schools on the west coast.
Edwin and Tesfa in the TV studio ...
Together with the Norwegian Red Cross, Haugland
Rehabiltation Centre and HIFUS, the College is offering a
two year program for education and rehabilitation for Land
Mine Victims. From 2012 this program will be supported
financially by the Norwegian Foreign Ministry.
Tesfahunegn Sima (Ethiopia) and Edwin Gonzales (Nicaragua) are the first two participants.
In October Tesfa and Edwin helped out at the annual
“TV-aksjonen” – the biggest annual national fundraising

The plans for a new service building at Hesteneset have
matured over years and were finally realized in 2011, under
the careful supervision of Vidar Jensen.
We now have a functioning house that has made the working day more satisfying for all who work with cleaning and
maintenance at the college.
On the first floor we have a spacious laundry room for the
cleaners, storage rooms for linen and consumables and
a permanent place for delivery of goods. There are also
changing rooms with showers and toilets, plus a meeting
room. Three office spaces for maintenance and cleaning
staff have released needed office space in the Admin building.

campaign in Norway, which this year was
for Norsk Folkehjelp and their campaign
for clearing land from land mines. In the
NRK studio they were interviewed by
celebrities Erik Thorstvedt and Haddy
N’Djie about their own personal experience. Tesfa and Edwin told about the
traumatic moments in their lives when
they, as children, paid the price for being
close to exploding bombs. The two boys
have moved on to gain strength and
independence in life. It has been a dream
for them to come to Norway, to gain
their scholarship at UWC RCN and to get
engaged in all kind of activities with fellow students from all over the world. And as they grow and
learn the two of them want to be contributors to creating a
better future. “Be Hope” is the artist name Tesfa is using as a
singer and indeed the name many of his fellow students use
when talking to him. On their way from the TV studio, Tesfa
and Edwin were introduced to the Prime Minister, Jens Stoltenberg. On Campus students did their own fundraising for
this campaign. In Førde and Dale they joined in with locals
in door to door collection for the same purpose.
The maintenance department now has a functional workshop and storage for spare parts. This has been a necessary
improvement for a department that has not had their own
facilities since the days they were shared with the Haugland
Rehabilitation Centre.
The second floor is primarily intended for storage, but also
for recyclable material. In addition there is an IT server
room, a ventilation system and a heat pump deriving energy from the fjord. We are delighted with the new house
and hope it will serve us well in many years to come.
Vidar Jensen and Ton Merts - smiling, as usual!

mob we performed in a mall on 22nd December as part
of the annual Maastricht Christmas Run event. “I loved
being right in the middle of the city, a huge contrast to
our quiet Flekke!” recalls Melisa Gondo, from Zimbabwe.
The first destination was Hamburg. Our group was met
by representatives from the German National Committee,
who took them to four different local schools. Our
students gave presentations about UWCRCN and their
personal experiences. Before we had even left the
schools, some young students had started collecting
information to apply through their national committee.
“Believing that UWC schools and colleges around the
world are simply duplicates of each other was the biggest
myth I managed to break,” explains Mohammed Amine,
from Morocco. “Travelling to Maastricht was an enlightening experience as it showed me how a single philosophy and message can be expressed in so many forms.
The school, though sharing the same mission, keeps the
special traits of the cultural setting of the Netherlands. It
is truly amazing to see how, though we can align ourselves with a single thought, we can still express it in a
way which respects what’s special about ourselves.”
In Maastricht we were warmly welcomed UWC Maastricht
students and Senior House Mentor, Mr. Satyadeep
Srivastava. The students spent a significant portion of the
stay getting to know each other and exchanging stories
about experiences at their respective colleges. One of the
highlights of the trip was the ‘Goodbye Loneliness’ flash

The exchange was planned and carried out under the

There is no quiet time of the year for “Hjelpekorpset”, the
search and rescue division of the Norwegian Red Cross,
but September 2011 was particularly busy for groups
in Sogn og Fjordane as our region was hosting the
Norwegian National First Aid Championships. Seventeen
regional champions from all over Norway congregated
in Førde to do battle in a series of first aid scenarios
rescue situations and other tests of their skills. It was a
great honour for UWCRCN to be invited to participate in
such an event of National standing, and the College was
allowed to enter a guest team in the competition as well
as providing casualties for scenarios and helping in the
background. The UWCRCN team comprised five second
year students, who had only started their first aid training
in February, led by one of their second years. Competing
against seasoned rescue teams, what our students lacked
in familiarity with Hjelpekorps procedures, they more
than made up for in enthusiasm and ability in first aid.
At the end of the competition the RCN team was placed
sixth, a mere 30 points behind the final champions
from Oslo, and a pleasing 30 points ahead of the Sogn
og Fjordane champions from Førde! Another College
student, Andris Otisons (Latvia), won the award for being
the best casualty actor in the competition.

World Children’s Day in Førde
On November 19th the World Children’s Day was celebrated
all over Norway. Our College was part of the regional team
that was invited by the Førde International Music Festival to
create a special day. Our students were on the main stage
for a big audience of exited kids and their parents. There
was a record attendance of 2,000 this year. Some of our
students acted out as hosts for the day. For visitors who
wanted a taste of the exotic, Barbara Toa-Kwapong, was
there with her DROP group, serving food from all over the
world. Many organizations contributed to local children
having a hot experience in Førdehuset on a cold winter day.
We were glad to play our part in it.

Safuge - Save the Future Generations
SaFuGe continues as a student-initiated fund-raising
organization that does projects for underprivileged
schools all over the world. Throughout the year we work
to make money, and towards the end of the summer-term
students vote for which projects to sponsor. All projects
are carried out by students in their local communities.
The money comes from cafés and from Norwegians hiring
us for a variety of jobs, from painting houses to baking
cupcakes for local events., but lately we have also started
to receive donations.
We have recently been supporting projects in Sierra Leone, Morocco, Cameroon and Nepal. One of the Nepalese
projects is described here by RCN student Pema Chodron Lama:
“Lihi School is the only primary school in Nubri district
which provides early education to the local village children. Due to the lack of basic infrastructure and commodities, the 20 year old school was shut down completely at
one point, although it began to function again in 2010.
In spite of its revival, the school’s condition was difficult
- with no furniture and basic materials. Fearing that the
school would fail again, the main objective of our project,
“Help the Himalayan children of Nepal” was to support the
school by contributing basic infrastructure like furniture
and mattresses in the classrooms and also by providing
teaching, reading and stationery materials to the school
for the better education of the village children.
This village is a 5-day trek after an 8-hour bus ride from
the capital, Kathmandu. Firstly, 20 mattresses and stationery materials including books and educational charts
were purchased. Together with other UWC students
present in the city, we also collected additional donations
of books from the local schools in the capital. With these
supplies and a strong determination, we ventured on our
journey. The biggest challenge was to carry all the supLittle monks at Lihi school

plies to the village - since the monsoon had flooded the
trails leading to the school. Fortunately, the supervisor of
a monastery in the same village, agreed to help us to get
the materials to our destination. So we were able to save
some amount of money. After our arrival in the school, we
met the teachers and students; the mattresses were set
and stationery materials for the faculty were distributed.
The work of making tables and chairs continued and was
completed by the time of departure. There was still money
left after paying the carpenters. So it was decided to buy
a blackboard for the classrooms. The blackboard is now in
the school. The school
benefited with basic
infrastructure and supplies from the project,
and the opportunity

several staff members not having changed at all.
Interacting with UWC students on a daily basis seems
to keep you young. Remi Gau and Chris Doughty had
prepared a varied schedule of those old activities. During
the reunion Christopher Scoville and Joost Bosland came
up with a way forward to fundraise for something needed
by present students. The response was that students do

Annual Report 2011
Funding and Results in General
Translated from the original Norwegian version
The 2011 accounts show a positive result for the year of NoK
1,074,062. The result gives a true picture of the operations
and is NoK 477,000 better than the calculated budget. Our
Financial Action Plan request a financial result between NoK
500,000 and NoK 1,500,000 to balance different concerns
the school has. The equity shows a positive balance to the
amount of NoK 13.4 mill., which is 45% of the company’s
capital need with current operations.
Finland:
At 01.01 there was a negative working capital of 2.1 mill.,
which is at the lower level of what is acceptable. This makes
limitations on our room for investments for 2012, beyond
what can be externally funded. The annual accounts are
based on a going concern assumption.

Activities
The aim of the foundation is to promote peace and
international understanding, sustainable development and
the dissemination of ecological knowledge through education, research, seminars and other initiatives. The operation is
based at Haugland, in Fjaler Municipality in Sogn og Fjordane.
Operations
The 2011 accounts show a positive result for the year of
NoK 1,074,062. The result gives a true picture of the operations and is NoK 477,000 better than the calculated budget.
Our Financial Action Plan request a financial result between
NoK 500,000 and NoK 1,500,000 to balance different concerns
the school has. The equity shows a positive balance to the
amount of NoK 13.4 mill., which is 45% of the company’s capital need with current operations. At 01.01 there was a negative working capital of 2.1 mill., which is at the lower level of
what is acceptable. This makes limitations on our room for
investments for 2012, beyond what can be externally funded.
The annual accounts are based on a going concern assumption.
The Working Environment
The working environment at the College is satisfactory. The
concern had a total of 49.1 man-years in 2011. This is represented by 23.1 for women, and 26 for men. The foundation
has 8 Board members. Of these 3 are women, and 5 men.
The Environment
The main impact for the organization on the environment
comes from energy consumption for housing and for travel
and use of consumer’s goods like paper. The organisation is
certified through “Environmental Lighthouse” (Miljøfyrtårn).
Discrimination
The UWC movement is working towards making education
a force to unite people, nations and cultures for peace and a
sustainable future. This makes it particularly relevant for the
College to promote the objectives of the discrimination law in
its operations. This applies to activities related to recruitment
of employees and students, salary and working conditions,
professional development, protection against harassment
and finally adaptations towards universal access
Future Development
The Board has approved a balanced budget for 2012. There
will always be some uncertainties with regard to funding
through the state budgets, but the Board does not see that
this is too a greater extent than before. The Board is of the
opinion that the conditions for future operations are present.
The accounts are presented accordingly.

Equity 01.01
Fixed assets are valued based on purchase price, but written down
to actual cost when the fluctuation in the value is not expected
to be incidental. Fixed assets with a minimum life expectancy are
depreciated systematically.
Current assets are valued at the lower of the purchasing price and
the actual value.

The school facilities are partly financed by a loan from Den norske
Stat at a nominal value of NoK 35,000,000. The loan is interest-free
and has no repayment commitment unless the buildings are sold
out of the foundation. The amount is therefore not recorded as
debt in the financial statements.
