UWC Summer Camp

The summer camp at United World College (UWC) offers 30 young people between the ages of 16 and 18 the opportunity to work together on developing sustainable cities of the future. The summer camp participants come from European UWCs and from Heilbronn. Students from all over the world live at UWC. The Dieter Schwarz Foundation covers the camp costs such as travel, room and board.

The participants spend one week at the UWC campus in Freiburg and another week in Heilbronn. During the summer camp, the young people work on case studies, hear expert lectures or visit relevant organizations and facilities such as the Parks and Public Works Department and wind power plants. The participants then share their impressions, hold discussions, and work in teams to develop a model for their city of the future.
