Do you ever wonder about… who am I?  What do I care about? What are my passions? How can I impact my community positively? How can I meet and connect with other like-minded young people? UWC Short Course Malaysia: Architects of Diversity, is a one-week, bilingual (English and Malay) residential program for young Malaysians. Through interactive workshops, games, debates, and role-playing, participants will tackle the big question faced by societies that are defined by their difference: how do we best live together in difference and diversity?

At this Short Course, participants will:

  • Make lifelong friendships with 40 students from various backgrounds all over Malaysia.
  • Engage in open, constructive forum to discuss, debate and learn about important issues facing us as a society: identity formation, multiculturalism, and social responsibility.
  • Express your opinions confidently and empathize with perspectives different from your own.
  • Become part of a global community of changemakers, and connect with other engaged and like-minded young people from all over the world.
