Connecting with the Mediterranean is a UWC Short Course offered for the first time this year by the Lebanese UWC National Committee. The mission of this programme is: 

• To encourage participants' self-development through workshops exploring questions of identity and culture.
• To gain more awareness of some of the most relevant issues facing us today, both with a regional focus (conflict, migration) and global focus (conflict, competition for resources, sustainable development), as well as a focus on technology and the future.
• To build regional connections amongst youth and learn to help create inclusive communities.
• To be introduced to the culture and complexities of Lebanon through specialized interventions, workshops and guided visits. 
• To empower participants with guidance on the creation of their own projects.
