🏛 Studying in an international boarding school in Armenia | Interview with Nozima 👥 I am happy to share with you that I gave a written interview to Alexander Pavlov about my UWC experience in Armenia. I tried to be as detailed as I could, shared some specific events and lessons I got from 2 years of studying at UWC Dilijan, so it ended up being quite comprehensive. Ironically, it still hasn’t covered everything. Though I believe it could serve as a sneak peek into UWC and a good place to start if you’re thinking of studying in multicultural educational institutions. Aiming to be more inclusive and reach out to a wider audience, Alexander and I prepared the interview in both English and Russian (photos attached!!). I hope you enjoy reading it and feel free to leave your questions under this post!! Thereby, you might also give me some ideas for future blog posts 🙂 If you are a UWC and/or IB student or studying in any other international educational institution, I would also appreciate learning about your perspectives! @culture_shooock
